Jetski question

darkelfaxe 09-17-2003, 7:57 AM

Can somebody tell me if a jetski of 50 hp can pull me? My cousing has one of those and the boat broke so I want to know if I can use the jetski.

Get the boat fixed. A 50 hp ski isn't that big when it has to pull 3 people. I've knee boarded behind a buddies 110hp ski but that wasn't much fun. I imagine on a wakeboard it would be even less fun...no wake to jump.

Yes you can wakeboard on it. I did it for three years. There is no wake unless you put two full sized adults on it. It will produce something to play with.

When I had my ski I did alot of switch riding, 180's, and surface tricks. Not much but you can get your fix off of it.

oops i just read 50 hp! maybe not two adults. give it a try though.

Sell the jetski and fix the boat. Better yet burn the jetski and fix the boat.

WE go out behind my friends Polaris 130 HP 3 seater without a problem. The pull is a bit differrent, and there isnt any wake, but it's great for hitting sliders and learning switch and surface tricks. Best of luck with the boat.

Wouldn't that be a pretty sight. A jetski burning! Love it.
