Owning a rental company

Hey everyone, I have owned and operated a jetski rental company for a few years now and man has it been hectic. I'm going to start off by saying, I would not recommend this industry to 99% of people. The reason I say this is because it is the highest stress industry where decisions must be made quick. Sunk jetskis,cracked jet skis, stolen jet skis, it is a liability nightmare.

I will be 19 this summer and I do plan on selling the company after the summer. If anyone is looking to start a company in this space, please make sure you have liability checks in place on everything! It can make you great money... but it can also be the biggest nightmare you deal with.

Speakers question

2018 Seadoo GTI 155 Limited

New to jetski ownership. If I mount a bluetooth speaker to a cooler rack behind the seat, will I hear the music when I am cruising? If so, what speed does the sound usually get left behind you? I dont have a sound system on my PWC and wanted to mount my large waterproof speaker, but there isnt anywhere to mount it.

Some advice on how to mount it in the front would be useful as well.

Thank you all in advance!

Standup Krash 701 Swap

Hey guys just wondering if any of you have experience with a Krash foot rocket 2021 with a bored 701. I just purchased it this winter and am excited to ride it. I’m pretty confident it can do back flips off a boat wake aswell as barrel rolls, but not so sure abt flat water (I’m guessing prob not or maybe with a lot of practice?)

I’ve been riding a sxr 800 for the past few years and generally grew up on standups.

I appreciate any comments from familiar people. Thanks

Engine Swap Arizona

Hello, I have a js550 hull and I want to do a 701/750 engine swap, but I’m not nearly mechanical enough to do it myself. Is there any shops in Arizona that would do it for me? I’ve called a couple well known places and they said they don’t work on 550 hulls

No title, what are the next steps?

Seller is in CT and has never registered it. He’s a second owner and only has a bill of sale. It’s a 1991 standup, if I buy it would I be able to register it in NYS?

I work for YMUS (Yamaha MOTORS USA) and will run your VIN/HIN/PID and give you official customer facing info on your unit

I’m a lifelong rider and enthusiast. Even raced for my supper for almost a decade. Obviously I have an actual job, but I like helping people out where I can. So if it takes me awhile to respond I’d appreciate some grace. I can tell you the exact model code, origin, warranty history and may even be able to give info about dealer and previous owner calls to Yamaha on your unit as long as it’s not too old. I can help with color codes, getting paint/gel coat itself, part numbers, and try to answer questions as best I can. If it’s overwhelming I’ll make another post. Yamaha only, official US market units only. I’m here to help!

GPS recommendations

Are there recommendations for a small marine GPS unit for a 24 fx cruiser? Do not need a fish finder.

Alternative would be to get the chip for $200 through Ennovation to enable the built in maps. However looking for the best option for the cost.

Jet ski not turning over after top end rebuild

Hi!

I just completed a top end rebuild on my 1995 Yamaha wave raider 1100 after the one piston blew. Before the rebuild the engine would turn over, but after the rebuild it’s not turning over. It is just buzzing when I push the starter button. Any thoughts on what it could be? I don’t think it would be the starter if it worked before that.

Thanks!

Yamaha svho fuel consumption

I have two Yamaha cruiser SVHO and I love them but they guzzle the gas so quickly. We keep them in Lake Michigan and it’s a 10-15 minute idle out to the lake. So by the time you go out and rip around for an hour and get back to the docks again you’re almost out of gas. Anyone recommend different skis that aren’t HO or supercharged that get better fuel economy?

Stand up Jetski

What is the smallest available standup jetski on the market? New to the scene and all I can see online is the Yamaha super jet at 8 feet (2.4 meters)
