A clean sweep of championships

Pulse Race Boats has achieved what few manufacturers in any motorsport can claim. Right now, the Australian builder holds every major Unlimited Class jet sprint title across the globe — World, New Zealand, Australian and American. It is a clean sweep that underlines both the quality of the boats and the partnerships forged with top teams.

In New Zealand, Australia and at the World Championships, Ramjet Racing flew the flag for Pulse. Running a powerhouse GM Motorsport engine, they claimed the silverware across all three titles. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pacific, Pure Insanity dominated the American scene. Powered by a JRE Racing Solutions engine, the team secured the U.S. Unlimited Championship in commanding style.

The result is unprecedented: one boatbuilder, four crowns, all at the same time.

Built for performance and safety

Founded in 2020, Pulse Race Boats quickly made an impact on the sport. Each hull and roll cage is CAD-designed and CNC laser cut, ensuring consistency and precision. Safety is placed at the centre of every build, with Pulse one of the only manufacturers in the world to achieve FEA certification for roll cage design.

The company offers new boat builds, complete race-ready packages with a choice of engine, jet unit and paint, as well as repairs and upgrades. This flexibility has made them the go-to for serious teams who want cutting-edge design matched with proven results.

Partnerships driving success

Pulse credits much of its dominance to the calibre of teams running its boats “Massive thanks to both of these legendary teams for making our boats look so damn good!” Ramjet Racing and Pure Insanity are both standout outfits with years of experience, but it is the marriage of driver skill, powerhouse engines and Pulse hull design that has delivered such a historic moment.
