2012 KAWASAKI JET SKI ULTRA LX

The comparison to Kawasaki's pinnacle boat is an apt one, as the 2012 Ultra LX incorporates a handful of advanced features and technology from the supercharged unit, which itself was redesigned for 2011. The big change is the move to the Ultra 300LX's advanced hull for 2012, a fiberglass-reinforced design that's stronger and lighter (by nearly 43 pounds) than before. It's also more stable at speed and more maneuverable than last year's hull, thanks to its 22.5-degree deep-V hull design, which allows high bank angles and motorcycle-like turning performance - something we know quite a bit about.
