Whatever happened to PJS? Are they still around? I don't see there name
mentioned much anymore. Did they merge with some other company?

Just curious.l

Nope,
Back in business and being run by Arron Davis, the son-in-law of Ed Miller.
They are in Anahiem, Ca.

Madzo,
As far as I know, Ed has no part in Arron's business. Arron shares his shop
with Jeff Seebold ( Kurtis' cousin ) , who rebuilds crankshafts, and another
fellow who does machine work on motors.
There shop is right by the Anahiem Pond.

I remember Aaron Davis and Davis racing back in 1990, he would always talk to me
on the phone at anytime about any problem that I was having with my 550 ltd.
and 650 mod.. Aaron also told a butt load of secret top pro tuning tricks back
then for the old Kawi stand-ups.. Glad to see he is still around!! Can't type
anymore!! Gotta get on with the wrenching!! CYA all at Fort Walton!!!

Bill, you must be speaking of Pro Jet Sports. Bob Pernice
of Jetinetics is in on that one to my understanding. They are
the ones with the billet (read expensive) carb adjuster and a
really good looking finger throttle to name a few. If that is it,
here is the address:

City of Orange, California
(714) 538-8104
FAX (714) 525-4757

But don't get your hopes up guys (and gals) it's not the same
PJS of yesteryear. The original PJS is still owned by Mag Jet
Systems along with all of the designs, names, etc. If that is
the same company Bill was referring to.

Yep,
That's it. But Bob Pernice really has nothing to do with it other than
machining and providing the parts for Arron to sell.
Arron still wanted to be "associated" with the letters PJS, so he named the
place Performance Jet Sports.

They work mostly on standups and mostly on the Kawasaki brand. Just like his
father-in-law did.

His shop used to be called Arron Davis Racing.

I knew it was in Orange, but it is within a block of Anahiem and the Anahiem
Pond, and most people don't know where Orange is.

Yeah, I knew Bob was involved but did not know to what extent.

It will be interesting to see if anything "hot" comes out of the new
PJS (Pro Jet Sports). I'm not expecting anything like they used
to have, but it sure would be nice to see something new on the
market...regardless of where or who it comes from. I don't really
recall seeing anything new or exciting coming from the aftermarket
industry in the past couple of years...at least not like it used to be.
Guess everything goes a little stale eventually.

Laszlo,
What ? Nothing New ?
Check out the Skat Trak line of pumps, props, nozzels, and scoop grates for
the Kawasaki 750 Pro ski, or the complete new intake system for the Ultra,
including pump plate, grate, pump, props and nozzels. These will turn
lame-assed rough water Ultra's and Pro's into barnburners in the rough.

Solas is onto something with the Dynaflite props for XPL's, GSXL's and
GTXL's.

Ross is about to release those long awaited SD twins and he and a few others
have some great new pipes for Yamaha and Kawasaki's, Gary and Pam Coffman
have triples for Ultras.

Miller has updated SD 1050 kits and will be offering heads and rave valves
for Yamaha 1200 long stroke motors ( GPR and XL motors) by mid summer.

We will be offering some very trick superstock Sea Doo and Yamaha long
stroke motors for racing in 785 and 1200 this year and we will be offering a
replacement 951 crank with Honda rods for about the same price as an OEM
rebuilt crankshaft.

Skat Trak has pumps props and nozzels for all 4 brands that kick ass.

Hedlund has triples for Yamaha's and probably Kawasakis soon.

All new MSD's are multi channel digitals now.

Beachouse has better sponsons this year for most models, especially XPL's.

Evolution Marine has some trick trim systems for XPL's and Polaris
watercraft.

And, the IJSBA has a working website ! :)

What more could you ask for ?

Well, first off, the Skat-Trak pumps have been out a while. And
stainless pumps have been around for over 10 years now. And
pumps with "numerous" veins have been done before. Granted
pumps and props have evolved over the last couple of years, but
that isn't really what I had in mind.

Those twins are yet to be seen...the Coffman's is a single, not triple,
unless things have changed since the last time I spoke with them (which
was recent). But triples would be cool.

Big bore kits have been done long enough. New rotary valves might be
interesting though. Heads have been around forever...some are better
while some are barely better than reworked OEM heads.

I would be interested in seeing the crank you are coming out with, but it
isn't to market yet.

MSD? Jetinetics' One Shot has "been" out long enough for the MSD to
be a follower in that category as far as I am concerned. The One Shot
kicks butt.

I guess what I would really like to see is maybe an EFI system for the
after-
market industry. They are out there, but haven't made it to the PWC scene
yet...maybe they never will...who knows. And how about a really "hot"
exhaust (no pun intended) system like twins for the twin Yami engines
like for the SJ, and even a twin for the 750 Kawi. I remember the Rius 750
years ago having twins, but they kept breaking due to the brittle material
they were constructed of. Now "that" is something I would like to see. I
realize the demand may not be sufficient for those, but at the same time,
I feel there would be profit none-the-less. The problem is, if there isn't
"enough" profit, the big boys won't make it. And how about a fresh power-
plant for the SJ and SXi. Keep those models stagnant enough and the
riding community will definitely loose interest in them. Slap something
new and exciting in there and breathe some life into those models.

I guess with the rule changes eliminating much of the aftermarket bolt on
items is the downside I see. I just remember the days of the sport when
aftermarket cylinders, trick driveshafts, trick hull mods, killer
this...killer
that and all the excitement of new products were the norm. Now it tends
to be same ole-same ole.

Now the IJSBA finally getting a website...DAMN...now that is hot stuff. :^)

Hmmm...maybe I misunderstood Pam. I thought she said a single.
It was only about 3 weeks ago that I spoke with her.

I remember seeing the Accel rig at Havasu years ago. Right before
they scraped their plans for their involvement in pwc.

I (fortunately) didn't get one of the first One Shots. Sorry that happened
to you guys at the WF. You are right about using it to weld. That is
one helluva spark. I'm thinking of using one on my next project X1/9.
thinking of replacing the entire driveline with a Rotary from an RX7...
twin turbo of course. I can't seem to leave anything alone. Waiting
for some aero kit info from England right now.

And I agree on the IJSBA 'site. Should have been done years ago though.

Those "were" the days.

Anybody ever own a PJS Seajet sit-down ? They made a 900cc and 1200 cc model
with really nice parts.
I think they even had billet cranks. Only made for a year or two, but
really nice looking stuff.
