Close, but not exactly. That "ski-craft" you refer to has been called a jet-ski for as long as I can remember. All PWC's have been called jet-skis and still called so nowadays. The only difference, as noted, is that a PWC that can carry three or more passengers is classified as a boat.

For reference...Green's Basin on Lake Winnipesaukee is a "No Jet-Ski" zone as stated by such on the map. That means "Jet-skis" can not go in there, however, PWC's that are considered boats (three or more passengers) can. If it was as you stated, only the Kawasaki model Jet-Ski wouldn't be allowed.
