Well, it depends on what kind of model the jet ski is, but I would say the average weight of a jet ski is about 640-650 lbs.
how much does a jet ski weigh
Dry weight is 558 lbs.
The weight of a jet ski trailer can vary depending upon the type of material used to make the trailer and the size of the trailer. On average a jet ski trailer would probably weigh between 200 and 250 pounds.
every jet ski is different but most rage between 300 to 600 pounds
A typical trailer for a single jet ski weighs 120 to 250 pounds. The biggest factor that determines the weight is whether the trailer is made out of aluminum or steel.
It depends on the model of jet ski and the type of trailer. Larger jet skis weigh more than smaller ones. Steel trailers weight more than aluminum ones. It also depends how much gear and fuel you carry on the trailer. A good range would be 600 pounds (two small, one-person jet skis, aluminum trailer, no gear) to 2,200 pounds (two large, three-person jet skis, steel trailer, four full fuel jugs, tools, spare tire, and so on).
Yes, provided the weight is not too much for the truck, or you can lift the jet ski onto the truck, and you can secure it safely on the truck with ropes and straps. A low trailer with drop down ramps, pulled behind the truck, may be an easier means to transport the jet ski.
It depends a lot on the weight of the jet ski. There's no way to determine the speed from just the horsepower. Most likely though, a 160 HP jet ski would be a fairly high power jet ski with a top speed of around 50 to 55 mph.

The biggest danger of a jet ski is a collision. While there are any number of other possible dangers, this is the one that is the most likely to result in a death or serious injury.Every jet ski operator should be familiar with the most common types of jet ski collisions:1) Two or more jet skis are operating in close proximity. Someone falls of one jet ski and is hit by another jet ski. The operator of the other jet ski was avoiding the other jet skis but didn't notice the person in the water.2) Two or more jet skis are operating in close proximity. One jet ski is directly behind another and the lead jet ski slows down suddenly. The person in the following jet ski panics, releases the throttle (meaning they have no steering), and hits the lead jet ski. (Astronaut Alan G. Poindexter was recently killed in this type of accident.)3) A jet ski rider collides with a fixed object such as a log or bridge support.4) A jet ski rider collides with a swimmer in the water.In addition, it is vital that every rider of a PWC wear an appropriate personal flotation device. You can get thrown off a jet ski and lose consciousness. Without a life preserver, drowning is a serious risk.
