What the archive has not read (2)
- The association's post of 25 September 2022 is titled for the 2022 Jettrim WGP-1 World Finals, but no copy of it is held, so the second year of the 2021 agreement is not printed here as a fact (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-16).
- No held document names the company before 1996, and no state registry record of the 2013 applicant is held (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-16).

JETTRIM, an application filed on 8 July 2013 by Jettrim, Inc., an Arizona corporation, for seat covers for personal watercraft and ATVs and vehicle seats; published for opposition on 26 November 2013 and abandoned on 14 October 2014 for want of a response to an Office action, so it never registered. The applicant claims first use on 1 October 1983, which is its own word. The published date is the filing date. Read on 5 October 2026; the owner address and correspondent details were already omitted from the record as read.
- Splash June 1996 (held here, not public): Riding A Rocket, Splash, June 1996, pages 40 to 42 (our transcription of the owner's printed copy), Splash magazine, 1996-06; enthusiast media, medium. A period magazine feature on a race replica of Chris Fischetti's Sea-Doo HX, read from phone photographs of the owner's printed copy on 26 August 2026 and transcribed in our own record, already held here, so it is kept there rather than copied. The modification package and two short phrases are verbatim; the record's account of the article's running text is a summary in the transcriber's words, so a page restating it says so. The magazine has no public address, so the article is held here only. The continuation on page 44 was not read.
- 2010 World Finals page 1009 (web.archive.org): 2010 quakysense World Finals, results page 1009.HTM (Aquascore results, Wayback capture), International Jet Sports Boating Association, 2010; sanctioning body, high. A single day's Aquascore printout carried on the association's own site. The page lists its seven classes and then prints seven result sections in the same order, none captioned, so each section's class follows from its place in that list. Each entry lists the rider, home town, make, placing and sponsor lines. What is held here is an excerpt.
- 2011 World Finals page 1008 (web.archive.org): 2011 quakysense World Finals, results page 1008.htm (Aquascore results, Wayback capture), International Jet Sports Boating Association, 2011; sanctioning body, high. One day's results from the association's own site: four classes listed, four sections in that order with no caption, each entry a name, a hometown, a make, a placing and sponsor lines. The class of a section is read from its position in the list; the association's results release, reprinted by OzPWC, prints the same winner beside the class name.
- 2012 World Finals page 1007 (web.archive.org): 2012 Hot Products World Finals, Results Sunday October 7, 2012 (Aquascore results, Wayback capture), International Jet Sports Boating Association, 2012-10-07; sanctioning body, high. Sunday's Aquascore printout on the association's site, with twelve classes listed and twelve unlabelled sections after them. The text layer breaks the class list across lines. This text is held as an excerpt.

The association's post announcing the dates and venue of a 2017 series in its Northwest Region, calling the person who announced them a race director and the series his. An announcement: it shows the series planned, not run. Its grading words about him are not used.
- IJSBA Jettrim title sponsor 2021 (ijsba.com): Jettrim To Title Sponsor 40th Anniversary World Finals On Two Year Commitment (IJSBA news post, 2 July 2021), International Jet Sports Boating Association, 2021-07-02; sanctioning body, high. The association's announcement that Jettrim would title-sponsor the 40th anniversary World Finals of 2 to 10 October 2021 on a two-year agreement, with a paragraph describing Jettrim's seat covers and traction mats. High for the sponsorship the association announces; the descriptive paragraph reads like the company's own copy and supports "says" only. Only part of the announcement is held.
