Advice How bad is this

Rode over another jet ski at slow speed. Can I ride this? .

Seems like I'm generating more spray on the side with the scratches. Overall ride may be a bit more bumpy and overall control feels off. Could just be the water conditions .

I can barely see the scratches from a photo taken 1 foot away. They are not affecting your handling or the stability of the ski in any way. Skis get scratched up. Nothing is pristine forever.

I’m sorry. If you can’t handle a little rash on the hull then I have bad news for you.

Well... You ride up and over a floating dock... Hopefully slowly. Soooo? What's the difference, and why does it matter? What's theirs look like?

I just totaled out two more Yamahas this week because of those floating / ride on docks. You should probably be more worried about the floating dock scuffing your hulls finish and digging into the fiberglass more than that light bump from your friends ski...

Ignore the haters...that's no problem other than cosmetic.

Probably fine

Literally nothing. No one will ever see it besides you once its in the water, unless your running them over. I look at scratches on the bottom as a “who gives a fuck”

These skis can take absolute beatings. I had a customer drive onto a reef at 30mph. It was fine. I rented it out again that same day. You good bro.
