My Waverunner doesn't get pulled behind my boat. It runs circles around my boat--literally. My daughter and her 5 year old driving just burn the lake up following the rest of the family around the lake.

I've owned PWC's since 1984, and put far more hours on the Waverunner than my new Bennington. I'll probably be 75 years old running PWC's--if I can still get on and off it.

Back in the late 90s I raced jetskis. Eventually got out of them all together for a few years.(burnt out) Plan on keeping this one bone stock and enjoy what it is.

Me too. Where did you race? I used to pull mine down to Englishtown N.J. back in the late 90's.

Congrats on the toy. When my son gets a little older I'm gonna start looking for one. Whenever we're out on the toon he's got his eye on the ski's cruising around the lake.

Don't forget to install a tow valve in the cooling line if you are going to pull it in the water.

What's a "tow valve" in the "cooling line?"

when you pull a unrunning jetski through the water you can force water in the intake and up into the motor, filling the motor with water. MFG. says you can tow for short distances under 15 mph, but I am not going to take a chance. You instal a ball valve in the water line that go's from the intake/pump to the motor so you can shut the water feed off when towing, thus "tow valve".
