Overview

The F16 in detail.

The F16 is the newest Fast Power Sports race platform, developed by Dustin and Tyron Motzouris. It carries the GP1R's race DNA into a re-engineered chassis built for the quickest possible rotation, with a redesigned tray, a lower hood profile and a far more accessible engine compartment.

The F16 hull is designed around the Kawasaki 1500 four-stroke, but its engine bay is deliberately oversized. That means a rider moving up from a Yamaha Super Jet can transplant a 1050 engine straight into the F16 and keep their existing package, then step up to 1500 power later without changing hull.

Where the GP1R is the proven flagship, the F16 is the sharper instrument. Authorised builders describe it as the quickest-turning hull in the range, with higher top speeds than the platform it evolved from, a new tray design, an improved low-profile hood and a new engine compartment that makes motor and electronics access far quicker on race day.

Like the GP1R, the F16 is completed to the rider's specification, so the engine, pump, nozzle and tune are chosen for the class, the water and the rider rather than fixed in a brochure.

Powerplant

Engine and power options

Two engine routes into the same hull: the Kawasaki 1500 the chassis was designed around, or a Yamaha 1050 for riders carrying an existing package across from a Super Jet.

Primary engine platform
Kawasaki 1500 four-stroke inline-four — the hull is designed around it
Alternative engine option
Yamaha 1050 (Super Jet) engine, fitted in customer builds
Engine bay
Oversized bay allows straightforward fitment of either platform
1050 package output
115–125 hpStated by the builder for a specific 1050 configuration, not a universal rating.
1500 package output

Aspiration and cooling
Naturally aspirated, liquid-cooled
Fuel
Configurable for 93 octane pump gas, E85 or race fuel depending on tune
Fuel tank position

Build options

Specify your machine.

Every F16 is completed to the rider's program. These are the routes into the platform.

Bare hull

The F16 hull package for owners and authorised builders completing their own machine, with the hardware included confirmed directly during the build consultation.

Kawasaki 1500 build

The configuration the hull was designed around, for modified-class closed-course racing with the full four-stroke race package.

Yamaha 1050 build

For riders stepping out of a Super Jet hull. The existing 1050 engine and package transplant into the F16's oversized engine bay, with a documented 115–125 hp output on that configuration.

Graphics and finish

Livery, colour and graphics options are confirmed with Fast Power Sports as part of your build consultation.

Questions

F16 questions, answered.

What engine does the Fast Power Sports F16 take?

The F16 hull is designed around the Kawasaki 1500 naturally aspirated four-stroke, but its oversized engine bay also accepts a Yamaha 1050 engine, which makes it a straightforward step up for riders coming from a Super Jet hull.

How much horsepower does an F16 make?

Fast Power Sports has publicly stated 115 to 125 horsepower for a specific Yamaha 1050 F16 configuration. Output on a Kawasaki 1500 package depends on the engine build and tune and is confirmed for your exact specification during the quote process.

How fast is the F16?

Authorised builders describe the F16 as reaching higher top speeds than the platform it evolved from, but no numeric top-speed figure is published. Any number you see quoted elsewhere online is unsourced. Your build's figures are confirmed directly by Fast Power Sports.

What is different about the F16 compared with the GP1R?

The F16 carries the GP1R's race DNA but is re-engineered as the quickest-turning hull in the range, with a new tray design, an improved low-profile hood, higher top speeds and a redesigned engine compartment for much faster access to the motor and electronics.

Can I put my Super Jet engine in an F16?

Yes. The F16 was built with a large engine bay specifically so a 1050 from a Yamaha Super Jet can be fitted, letting riders upgrade hull first and engine later.

What pump does the F16 run?

A documented F16 build runs a 148mm pump with a drop nozzle, a magnesium pump housing and an impeller matched to the engine package. Your driveline is specified to suit your engine and class.

Who developed the F16?

The F16 was developed by Dustin and Tyron Motzouris at Fast Power Sports, building on the GP1R programme.
