The Cyborg has some unique features built into it. The pics shown are of the test ski, so some minor practical and cosmetic improvements have been done to the final product.
The hull is 196cm(77.2") long, 54cm(21.3") high and 74cm(29.2") wide.
1. Integrated waterbox in right gunwale, no separate waterbox needed, exits above the water. Gives better bottom end power as you don't have the water causing back-pressure at slow speeds. More consistent fuel curve on tricks. Saves a few lbs of not having a normal waterbox.
2. Footholds are next to pump, giving a lower CG and a more stable ride. At idle the rear doesn't sink in if you keep you weight forward. Standing also lower allows for a shorter pole.
3. Baffled Hull-Air system. Air enters through pipes under rear of the hood, into a separate chamber, water drains out through the scuppers and air enters the engine-bay through a slot high on the firewall.
4. Scuppers are above the waterline, so you can leave the ski to float all day without sinking. They drain while riding.
5. The widened topdeck allows for angled or flat-plate intake manifolds. With straighter and shorter passages you will have better response and more hp. There will be a special airbox soon for the flat-plate (horizontal carbs) manifold setups so no water splashes in.
6. Large water intake, can handle 163mm pumps.
7. Baffled hood seal system. Hood overlaps hull by up to 4", allowing for multiple rubber and foams seals to keep water out the engine-bay.
