Lots of S2000 drivers tow a small trailer with race tires and tools on it. (Probably 200 to 300 lbs total?)

On S2000 driver towed a full-size power boat with his.

Ive seen people tow little trailers for their extra tires and other race materials but never anything bigger than that. It would be interesting to see if u could tow a jet ski because i would do it lol. Im sure if you did you just have to drive very lighly and keep an eye on your diff.

I'd be worried about one thing...the clutch. Other than that (if the trailer's weight was distributed properly) you should be fine.

Also of note is that Honda recommends against trailers.

Yeah i know honda against pulling the trailer, and the only thing i would be woried about would be the clutch, but it is a jetski, so its only pulling around 700 pounds, a person can move the trailer around really without a problem so why couldnt an S

Oh yeah I agree. I don't see a big problem with it.
