Buying a Jet Ski Need Some Input
Well its almost summer time and i have been itching for a ski so I am finaly going to pull the trigger and pick one up at the end of the month. BUT i dont want to borrow my dads truck everytime I wanna take it out. So I wanted to know if anyone had any experices towing with thier SC I think i am just going to throw on a hitch and just pull it in my car. Just wanna get some advice on this topic if some of you guys could give your input and/or info on what companies make hitches for the SC and etc. thanks in advance.......

...... I dont know what search you use but the one on CL really looks like this when you input "Towing" in the SC300/400 section

See you don't pay attention which is why you can't get the answer you want. I told you how to do it and you still can't. I literally come in and try to help you by telling you how to search it and you didn't do it so that's what I get back and it's your fault for doing it wrong. LOL........ok then!

and I've been a member for 7, a super mod for 6.5, a vendor for 3 combined, and when I make a post I put instructions on how to get the results you want just like I did above, that is called HELP.
Otherwise, I'd have said "you should search" and walked away. I told you specifically how to get the results you want, now you know how, AND the threads I know for a fact have the answer you wanted that you wouldn't have had to wait for if you'd have the info I gave you for future reference. Now you know how to find the exact thread you want, I showed you how, and that's that.

I'm a pro wakeskater, i've been docking boats for years.
It's no doubt that sc's have the power to pull it.. That won't be a problem. the only problem i see is if your launch ramp is really mellow, you might have problems with your mufflers going in the water. Unless you have a really long trailer, or if the ramp is steep.
and remember when dropping it in, always put the car in neutral then pull the hand brake tight, then put it in park. otherwise you'll destroy your transmission.
But that's about it.
*disclaimer* I dont use my SC to tow anything.

I dont really see anything wrong with towing a jet ski. A friend of mine had a U-Haul hitch on the back and towed small trailers. The hitch is bolted up to the huge 17mm bolts that secure the tow hooks. Im not sure if those tow hooks are removed to bolt up the tow hitch or not. The only thing I would do before towing is make sure the tranny can take it. Give it a nice flush so it doesnt have to work over time.
