"Others" need to include the latest WaveRunner Cruiser Jet-Ski. It weighs a lighter 840 pounds now (down 25%), and has a supercharged engine.

I tried to find out the top speed of this craft that goes 0-30-MPH in under two seconds, but nobody's sayin'.

This quote did appear, however:

"I like the WaveRunner Cruiser. Questions have been asked if it is capable of 75 mph. I was told at the dealership it was capable of doing 85 mph...by my speedometer, I went 76 mph at that point I backed off. I was being raised out of the seat. Too fast for me. I probably won't do that again."

Surely, it can be made to go faster, right?
