Do you provide life jackets?
Yes. They are clean and rinsed after every outing (no sand, no grit, no odors). We have a variety of sizes:
- Child (under 90-pounds)
- Adult
- X-Large
How many people can ride on one ski?
We limit it to 350-pounds. This means the ski can usually accommodate 2-adults. Or 1-adult and 2-kids (under 90-pounds each). Sometimes, it means just 1-adult.
How long will it run on a tank of gas?
The Yamaha owner’s manual states that at “Wide-Open-Throttle” the skis have a voracious appetite of 7.7 gallons/hour. Having said that, we observe that the average fuel consumption is between 3.5 to 4.5 gallons/hour. Since the fuel tank is 16-gallons, the answer is about 4-hours before refueling is required.
What fuel do I use if I need to refill?
Regular 87-octane
Do I need to mix the oil and gas?
No
Which size trailer ball do I need?
2-inch
Which wiring harness do you use?
We use a “Flat-4”, but we can loan you an adapter for a “7-Round”.
If I have a receiver hitch on my vehicle, but I never bought a ball; do you have one I can borrow?
Yes, in fact we have several different types, including a 7-inch drop in case you have in a lifted truck.
Checking to see if the weight is within the towing capacity of my vehicle. How much do the jet skis and trailer weigh?
1000-pounds for 1-ski on a single trailer
2000-pounds for 2-skis on a double trailer
What if it rains during the rental period?
There is no charge if the ski comes back with zero (0) hours on the motor meter. If renting by the hour, the rate will be prorated and discounted accordingly. If renting by the day, the rate will be $80/hr until the daily rate is met.
