Two weeks ago, The Watercraft Journal brought you an exclusive inside look – and interview – with Australia’s Factory Yamaha race team. The unmitigated success of the team brought quite a bit of attention for the Aussie branch of the Yamaha Motor Corporation, so much so that in preparation for this year’s Sydney International Boat Show, Yamaha asked that a Pro-Stock competition spec FZS SVHO be built solely for display purposes.

Of course, this isn’t the first time a race-spec’ed watercraft has graced a show floor, but it is an unusual instance with such popular interest has called for the creation of a completely from-scratch race craft be built expressly for the manufacturer’s booth space. This level of consumer interest paired with factory-level support is something many youngin’s have never seen, but the older enthusiasts among us will recall from decades past.

The replica of the Australian Championship winning-FZS was built by the team at WaveRunner Performance Centre (WPC) using WORX Racing Components and other aftermarket suppliers in accordance to AJSBA rules. Although the image above shows the FZS being crated and shipped, the WaveRunner has since been unboxed and wheeled into position at the Yamaha WaveRunners Australia Stand, ready for this upcoming weekend.
