Jet Ski PWC ramps
Hello all,
We purchased a couple of 2004 Sea Doo's last year. I'd love to hear if any of you have custom built your own wood ramps for your machines or used one of the many "kits" and or plans that are available to build your own ramps. Thanks

Define ramps? For towing or storage at the dock or on a beach

Ramps that would be on the shore and can be driven onto from the water and then the machines cranked/winched up.

Such things are available through many vendors. A one piece plastic is neat. Inexpensive would be to locate a double wide jet ski trailer and pull it in and out of the water as needed

The trailer idea is interesting.

When I bought my first machine years ago from a neighbor, he included a ramp made out of 2 x 4's and covered with carpet. Had a winch. As the water level dropped it became more difficult to pull the machine back into the water. Also, water logged and heavy to remove for the winter. I'd go commercial in aluminum or fiberglass with rollers for the bed. The kids now just leave tghe machine in the water tied between docks and trailer spring/fall. Neighbors do the same.

We have 2 Hewitt Slide-n-Go units. We are pretty shallow so we have the extension kits on them. They work well.
Here is my ice picture for the day, but you can see ours up on shore. |

Good way to do it, just be careful you don't suck crud up into the impellor as you get shallow. I'm seriously thinking about going down to one pwc this spring. So I would have no need for that lift if whomever I sell the pwc to doesn't want it.
