    Here are the key features and an overview of the 2004 Kawasaki STX‑15F 

    🚀 Power & Performance

    • Engine: 1,498 cc liquid-cooled, inline‑4, 4‑stroke with DOHC and four valves per cylinder. Fuel injected via four injectors with a large 60 mm throttle body for crisp throttle response and reliability 

    • Power: ~160 hp @ 7,500 rpm with strong torque even at low/mid RPMs. Meets ultra-low emission standards (EPA and CARB 3‑star) 

    • Drive: Direct-drive axial-flow jet pump with a stainless-steel 3‑blade impeller (~148 mm), giving powerful acceleration and efficient propulsion 

    • Smart Steering: Kawasaki Smart Steering (KSS) helps maintain control during tight turns by adding thrust when throttle drops during steering maneuvers 

    • Smart Learning Operation (SLO): Programmer limiter to reduce max engine speed—a helpful feature for training new riders

    🛥 Hull, Handling & Ergonomics

    • Hull: Deep‑V hull of fiberglass-reinforced plastic and deck made with SMC composite. Designed for aggressive handling and high-speed stability, featuring molded-in sponsons with a lip for sharper turning grip

    • Boarding & Deck: Rear deck spacious enough for watersports gear (ski or wakeboard); retractable spring-loaded boarding step makes getting back on easier, even in deep water

    • Passenger Room & Capacity: Seats up to 3; combined storage includes front cargo well, under-seat space, and glove box—all lockable and water resistant

    ✅ Summary

    The 2004 Kawasaki STX‑15F is a powerful, reliable 3-person PWC with a high-output inline-four engine, sporty handling, good storage, and rider-friendly features like KSS and SLO. It sacrifices a brake system, but makes up for it with strong acceleration, fuel range, and ample deck space suited for watersports. With proper maintenance, it’s considered one of the more dependable older PWCs still around.
