This looks like the best solution but the price seems ridiculously high to me. Especially if you look at the construction...

Anyway....anyone here have alternative suggestions that cost less? Or ideas on how to make my own? Thanks for any ideas!

PVC with rope ran through maybe as a homemade solution. With some spray foam in there for some flotation.

You probably already know this, but be sure and read the SeaDoo owner's manuals about towing. My old SeaDoo could get water ingestion when towed above certain speeds, and I seem to remember that you needed to pinch off one one of the cooling hoses.

Towing a Seadoo can and will cause damage if you don't pinch off the water supply hose from
the exhaust manifold to the muffler.
Towing the Watercraft
in Water
Special precautions should be taken
when towing a Sea-Doo watercraft in
water.
Maximum recommended towing
speed is 24 km/h (15 MPH).
When towing your watercraft in water, pinch the water supply hose from
the exhaust manifold to muffler with a
large hose pincher (P/N 529 032 500).
This will prevent the exhaust system
from filling which may lead to water being injected into and filling the
engine. Without the engine running
there isn't any exhaust pressure to
carry the water out the exhaust outlet.
CAUTION: Failure to do this may result in damage to the engine. If you
must tow a stranded watercraft in
water and do not have a hose pincher, be sure to stay well below the
maximum towing speed of 24 km/h
(15 MPH).
NOTE: A red tape on the water supply
hose indicates which hose to pinch
