The boat is the current world champion ski race boat after winning the 1999 world titles in Spain while towing Steven Robertson.

We were approached by the owners of Firebird in 1997 after failing to qualify for the 1997 world title selections for the Australian team, due to consistent reliability problems. They were selected as reserve boat for the Australian team.

As time was limited due to the 1997 World titles been only months away we replaced the old fuel injection with Autronic and fitted two TO4S/TA45 turbochargers and few other changes. The boat was reliable after this and went on to finish second in the 1997 world tiles.

For the 1999 world titles we changed manifolds, intercooler, ignition, cylinder heads and turbochargers to TA51 models.

The boat ran the selection races without any problems and was selected as the number one team boat for Australia.

In Spain at the 1999 world titles the boat went on to win the title.
