Surprised we haven't had a dedicated thread to this show yet.
Anyway, I found this post on the web from an actor in the show. A bit disheartening to know they're still using rather old equipment for mission-critical show components. I've changed the wording to protect its original author:

The jet-skis run horribly. The hulls are all screwed up from the ramps and wall crashes. The motors are in bad condition and they are stock. The only mod: 2 bilge pumps. Sometimes the skis sink because they take on more water then they can spill out. It's almost a constant battle and Universal says there is no money. When a jet-ski breaks down during the show, one has to to improvise. I've seen it happen many times, and there's nothing worse then trying to restart a jet-ski with 2500 people watching, and it still sputters and won't start.
