Jet Ski overheating problem

I just sold my lake home near Atlanta, on the way out the door, so to speak, to cutting the cord. The last few days I was there, after spending most of the summer and prior two seasons working on the Flying Pig, thus not having a chance to see it, either, I saw several of the new breed of jetskis (well, technically, PWC - I can't speak to what actual Jetskis are like). Much to my surprise, I could scarcely hear them. They made every bit as much wake at slow speed, and were every bit as zippy at high speed, as the PWC they looked like, but - while I could tell it was running - it sounded a bit like a high quality I/O with a better than usual muffling job. It reminded me much more of a car than a boat noise... FWIW, on Lanier, where I used to live, we have gotten a bit more of the new breed rider than the old of late, which is refreshing to think about. Even though I'm not going to be on that lake again, most likely, ever, it's encouraging to see the evolution. And, in my runabout, if I see a jumper, I enjoy(ed) giving them a suitable wake, in an appropriate area. Some of them are definitely balletic. OTOH, the only two boats I have left which can do that are for sale and won't go "on the boat" with us, so I suspect I'll have to enjoy others' provisions, if there are any, in our cruising grounds :{)) L8R Skip, recovering from nasal and sinus surgery on the way to active shoulder rehab so I can get back to final refit and cut the cord Morgan 461 #2 SV Flying Pig http://tinyurl.com/384p2 The vessel as Tehamana, as we bought her "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
