Got an offer I couldn't refuse on a Jet-Ski last year...girls rode the pee outta it all summer, but this year one of the cylinders has lost compression...ran great for about an hour, then POOF!!...considerin' it ''TOTALED'' cause it'll cost more to fix than an 11 yr old Polaris 750 is worth...
...any ''salvage value'' there?...and how do you throw away a Jet-Ski?...

Put it out on the front yard with a free sign on it

Willy, we're in a pretty secluded place out here...the deer, turkeys and copperheads don't have much use for a Jet-Ski, so, while your well-intended suggestion is appreciated beyond measure, sadly it just won't work...
...on the other hand, you got me thinkin'...there are several neighborhoods around where it'd get stolen pretty quickly and I wouldn't even have to make a sign to go on it ;) ;D ...I could take the seat off and drop some fresh dog-poop into the hull and really surprise 'em :o ;D ...

you could take the motor out and use it as a tow toy behind the boat. they are fun to ride while in tow

Yeah, if you could rig a rudder on one, you could even jump the wake 8) ...hmmmm?... ::)...

hey the rudder part is easy just take the ride plate off the jet ski and attach a rudder to the steering tube then you turn the jet ski wheel it will respond under tow.

My vote is to mount it on the front of the V-20, put a kicker on it and you've got a heck of a lifeboat ;D

"Put a kicker on it!!!"
That's the deal...put a freakin' bracket on this thing and hang a OUTBOARD on that sucker!! 8) 8)...
