All of them. Plus PWCs can only operate in daylight (sunrise-30, and sunset +30), operator and passengers must wear floatation vests at all times, and towing of skiers, or towable devices is prohibited in most states.
What kind hull does a pwc have?
The most common hull material is fiberglass, often with an epoxy resin outer coating. The most common hull design is a modified-V, sharper at the bow and progressively softer as you move further aft. Many PWCs have sponsons, fin-like structures at the rear on both sides. They act like rudders, improving handling in tight turns, and they also act like floats, improving stability.

When reboarding a personal water craft after a fall how should it be rolled?
Usually there's a sticker on the back of the PWC that explains how to right it after rolling it over. It is important that it be rolled over in the right direction. If there's no such sticker on the back of your PWC, check the manual so that you know which direction is correct. The basic procedure is as follows: 1) Ensure the PWC's engine has stopped. If not, do not approach it. 2) Swim to the back of the PWC. See if there's a sticker visible documenting the rotation direction to double-check that you remembered it correctly. If not, you'll have to go with your memory. 3) You can try to turn the PWC right side up just by twisting it from the back. This will work on lighter PWCs. 4) If that fails, climb onto the bottom of the PWC and grab the far side. Then lean back to induce the PWC to tip. (You may wish to practice this maneuver in your head so that you know which side to be on and which way to lean to ensure it rolls the right way.) 5) Get the PWC running as soon as possible to flush any water out of the engine and exhaust systems. Try to use the PWC for at least 10 minutes to heat the engine and oil hot enough to evaporate out any water. 6) Inspect the PWC to ensure water didn't get anywhere it's not supposed to be, such as in any of the electrical boxes.
How is New Zealand adventurer Jeremy burfoot attempting to travel to nz from England?
He and his team are travelling on personal watercraft (Sea-doos) 31,000 kms from London to Sydney to Auckland in a bid to break the world distance record for PWCs. His team consists of two other New Zealanders, Travis Donohue (23) and Jed Martin (22), and Ivan Otulic (29) from Croatia who last year broke the Guinness watercraft endurance record with a non-stop ride of 1,641km (1,014 miles). They are taking on the challenge of the Ultimate Ride to raise awareness of, and funds for, cancer prevention and research and have partnered with a variety of cancer organisations around the route. The journey, which started from London on 1 August 2010, is taking the team through the world's oceans, seas, rivers and canals, starting from the Thames, across the Channel into the Netherlands, and on through Germany, Austria,Hungary, Croatia and Serbia, before heading out into the Black Sea towards Turkey and Egypt. After the Suez Canal, they'll travel through the Red Sea around the Arabian Peninsula via the old Asian Maritime Spice Routes to Pakistan, down the western coast of India, through to Singapore, southwards through the Indonesian islands to Papua New Guinea, across the old Dutch sailors' route to the East coast of Australia to Sydney, with an estimated arrival date of mid-November. The current world record stands at 17,266.69kms (10,729 miles), set by South Africans, Adriaan Marais and Marinus de Plessis on 19 September 2006.
