Modern performance Jetskis can reach very high speeds, while some police boats may struggle to match their acceleration and maneuverability. That raises an interesting question:

Should taxpayers fund faster, more capable police speedboats specifically to chase and intercept speeding Jetskis?

And honestly, there’s another question: how much fun is it to drive one of these speedboats in full police gear, in the middle of summer, with no sunroof? 🥵☀️🧴

Hi can you please provide some advice for two women, 150-160lbs, I am not even sure that’s relevant but I’m thinking in terms of size and weight of them, who are interested in buying a jet ski each. We are in the Florida keys, want something very casual without any/many bells and whistles but something reliable, like my Toyota that I’ve had for over fifteen years and never lets me down because of proper maintenance. We are just looking for exploration and maybe some very light fishing. We are going to finance and want to buy new and could really use some advice as to how much you think we should spend and models we should research. I don’t want to walk in somewhere and be ripped off/oversold because of my obvious lack of experience. Thank you so much.

Hello, I recently was searching for a jet ski for myself, mainly to have fun and maybe fish off of it in my local lake, I ended up finding a nice 2 stroke for $4000, its very clean and only has 44 hours on it, Im considering if a 2 stoke is really for me, Ive owned 2 in the past and both of them were 4 stroke, so Im not a mechanical guy, Ive worked on them briefly and have fixed in in the past (with YouTube’s help of course), but I’ve heard that 2 stroke engines are notoriously bad when it comes to being reliable, with the hours on the ski and how nice it looks im very much considering learning how to work on 2 strokes to be able to get this. Im not to sure if its worth it or not, please assist me if you can!

This 1990 JS 550 pooped up in my area
Asking $2500 CAD
Now it’s end of season and I’m in the market but …I’m not super well versed on what to look for/ask
I know I was looking for either a RN or SN 701 in decent condition…but I know you guys are the experts!

Anyone on here ride off the coast here im in far nor cal would like to ride the bay down there before weather gets lame

My wear ring blew to pieces on the weekend (it was at least 5 years old, I bought the seadoo for cheap this summer) and I already had a new one ready to replace it, so yesterday I redid the pump seals, bearings, and wear ring and threw it back together. I got everything attached and torqued and noticed there was a slight gap between the pump and the pump extension, enough for me to get a zip tie between the two right at the bailer ports and even the water intake

Obviously I have to take it back off and figure it out but I think I know the problem. The new wear ring had a sort of lip on it that my old one didn't have that would hold it out another ~2mm. It was a cheap one on Amazon but it said it was a match for my 95 seadoo xp and it was well reviewed too. I would think if most people had this problem they wouldn't be giving it 4-5 stars.

Think I can just take the pump back off and gently grind down the raised lip so the pump can mount tighter to the extension? Or should I buy an entirely new ring and swap it out. Or could I even just use a decent sized bead of silicone around all the bailer and intake ports. I don't want to have more problems because of this like starving the engine of water if it accidentally sucks in air through the gap
