San
Clemente , CA. (BUSINESS WIRE), PowerSki International Corporation,
the manufactures of the PowerSki Jetboard™ Igniter 330™, has just
received from Daesung Fine Tec, 4 of 12,000 units ordered of the
SuperTorqueXT™
Marine Engine on Wednesday. These high rate production Die
Cast engines will be the cornerstone of PowerSki's Motor Division.
They will provide the Igniter 330™ and other models in the future
the necessary power to drive.
Being
that these engines are now Die Cast, we should be able to provide
engines for other applications and products as well, opening the
door for PowerSki International's Motor division world wide. Within
the SuperTorqueXT™
Marine Engine package, is a complete state-of-the-art electrical
system that is truly remarkable. The complete assembly fits inside
the SuperTorqueXT™
Engine and is water tight. The design challenge was to provide
a solution to prevent water and other elements from causing corrosion
thus increasing the life span of the electrical system providing
better reliability. The design team passed with flying colors
as the system was assembled into one of the patented SuperTorqueXT™
Marine Engines and a battery was attached. The relay was
then switched to on... low and behold a success. The engine turned
over beautifully with no hitches at all. This is truly remarkable
technology.
Testing will continue through
the next couple of weeks with a hot test, with the newly tuned
exhaust system and manifold. From there, we will then assemble
an Igniter 330™ Jetboard with the SuperTorqueXT™
engine for time trials down in San Diego along with additional
testing here at PSI's San Clemente facilities. Once all the data
is evaluated, PSI is prepared to give the OK to Daesung Fine Tec
to begin mass production of the 12,000 units ordered. This is
truly a milestone for PowerSki International. Click

Marine Engine.
To date Powerski has shipped approximately 130 Powerski Jetboard ™ units worldwide. Due to low-rate production tooling, and the high price of small quantity piece parts, these early units cost Powerski, approximately, $12K to $15k each. Die Cast is a high-rate production tooling process that lowers the cost per engine. PowerSki has lowered the cost of goods for the entire unit's components using three factors; high-rate production tooling, large quantity purchasing, and lowered labor costs. These three factors allow PowerSki International Corporation to move into mass production with a potential profit in each new Powerski Jetboard ™ produced.
Powerski International Corporation is prepared to take block orders of the high-rate production Igniter 330™ JetBoard. Please contact PowerSki International for more details.
