Add up the weight of the jetski(s) and the trailer. Around 1500lbs or less, you're O-Tay!

Nope. Draw-Tite. Installation info & pics: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=784Wiring info & pics:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1139Very easy to put on. Not too bad to wire up either if you like to do that type of stuff yourself.A waverunner should be about 600lbs, trailer 200lbs +/-, so you should be able to haul it with no problem. May even come in under the 1500lb limit with two waverunners.....
