i wouldnt reccomend using a jet ski for anything other than sliders but if thats all you got do it. You can add a tower. Maybe some side sacs too. (lol jk) you cant add enough weight in it to make a noticeable differenc without sinking it.

As for weight, i would suggest people because there isn't room for anything else. Plus, someone mentioned that you can buy a little tower which will bring your rope up higher (they also have little pylons which may be a bit more affordable).

As for the people saying jetskis are only usable for rails, I disagree. You can still do flat shoveits and even small re-entry tricks. For instance, there is a trick tip in the back of the latest wbm for a backside shifty. Yeah, it's not tech but it is definitely stylish and fun. Be creative, riding behind a jetski is better than sitting on your couch and watching wakeskating.

i agree w/ snow there is plenty u can do w/ a skate on the back of a jetski, yea u cant do w2w but that no what wakeskatin is all about theres plenty of surface tricks u can work on.
