PWCBrackets is closing out the year with a bang—announcing a full sweepstakes for a completely revived 2014 Yamaha FZS, rebuilt “the PWCBrackets way” and unveiled across their social channels this week. The company, best known for its marine audio brackets and rigging hardware, has spent the past few months teasing the project ski, and now the public finally gets a shot at winning it.
To enter, PWCBrackets is keeping things simple: with each purchase of a towel and sticker kit for $100, the invoice # acts as an entry into the sweepstakes. Entries can also be made on the website without a purchase.
The giveaway is already live and runs until January, with the winner to be drawn live at the Atlanta Boat Show on Jan. 11. Participants must be 18 or older. Full rules are available on their website, and the lucky winner will be responsible for pickup or shipping.
While PWCBrackets hasn’t yet published a full spec sheet for the revived FZS, their video teaser gives a few solid clues. The ski looks every bit the classic 1.8L supercharged bruiser that made Yamaha’s FZ platform a favorite for drag racers and speed-hungry weekend riders alike. Their short clip shows a deep cosmetic refresh and what appears to be a full mechanical once-over—bringing an 11-year-old performance hull back to life in a way that fits the company’s brand: loud, polished, and built to be used.
The “Revive Giveaway” also feels perfectly in line with PWCBrackets’ recent push to expand beyond audio mounts and into more general enthusiast gear. Offering a hull giveaway right at the start of show season is sure to drive attention as crowds descend on Atlanta in January, and the decision to reveal the winner live adds an extra bit of spectacle.
For fans of the now-retired FZS platform, this one’s easy to get excited about. The 2014 model year sits right in the middle of Yamaha’s glory era for the FZ—lightweight, aggressively styled, and famously overbuilt. Whether the revived ski ends up as someone’s winter project, a future race hull, or a perfectly nostalgic weekend ride, it’s a smart, fun promotion that will have plenty of riders throwing in an entry.
