Kawasaki Jet Ski Ultra 300X

If you're looking for an unmitigated thrill ride, it doesn't get much more unadulterated than a high-powered personal watercraft. In other words, a jet ski. And this is the new king of the water.

Packing an enormous 300 horsepower – that's more than most cars – the 2011 Kawasaki Jet Ski Ultra 300X can hit a top speed of 67 miles per hour on the open water. With its supercharged 1.5-liter inline-four engine, three-passenger capacity and electronic instrumentation, the Ultra 300X is the wave-running equivalent of a supercar, and will set you back nearly $15,000.

We've seen the emergence of electric and hybrid yachts and now the Eco Watercraft Eco 1 is set to be the Tesla of the waves. It's a zippy little electric jet ski that can do more than 60 mph. The personal watercraft has a lithium-ion battery that will last around three hours and will also have solar panels. The craft will be built in a factory in the U.S. that will be 100% powered by renewable sources of energy. Wired reports that the Eco 1 will sell for $32,000 when it goes into production in 2011. An economy model may come out a while later for around $10,000 to $12,000.
