Another one brought back from the dead
This 1991 Kawasaki X2 is where sit-down jet skis started—
and this one’s barely hanging on.
Stick around… we’re just getting started.
Before today’s big, comfortable machines, this thing changed the game. The Kawasaki X2 was one of the first to let riders sit instead of stand, making jet skiing way more accessible—and way more fun for a lot of people. This one? It’s lived a life. Sun-faded plastics, worn-out internals, and more than a few “what happened here?” moments. You can tell it’s been ridden hard and then forgotten.
Fun fact: These early X2s were powered by a small 2-stroke engine that’s simple, loud, and surprisingly tough—if you treat it right. Most didn’t survive this long… and definitely not in this condition. Another thing—these hulls are known for being super playful on the water. Lightweight, and a blast to ride… when they’re actually running.
Right now, though? It’s more “floating relic” than watercraft. But not for long.

Introducing an incredibly rare 1989 Kawasaki Jet Mate — a true collector’s gem and one of the most unique personal watercraft ever produced. With only 1,200 units ever made worldwide and just 800 imported into the United States, this is not something you come across often.
This particular Jet Mate arrived to us in okay running condition, but has since been completely revived and thoughtfully upgraded. It’s now not only running strong, but has been transformed into a standout head-turner on the water.
Outfitted with custom LED lighting, navigation lights, a Bimini top for shade and comfort, and a battery shut-off switch for added safety and convenience, this Jet Mate blends vintage charm with modern enhancements. It has also been fully cleaned and professionally waxed, giving it a sharp, glossy finish that really pops.
