prolly 2000, thats what my vette was. I'm sure it could pull a jetski perfectly fine. I towed an enclosed trailer with 2 harleys in it every friday with the vete to the lake and never had a problem.

I would of figured it would be around 2000. It's to tow a 2006 Sea Doo Rxp. I'm just a lil worried about the wiring and any cutting that has to be done. Cutting what I mean is to be done to the bumper. Thanks for the replies...

The only think I would worry about is the boat ramp. The Z isnt the best on slick surfaces, you may wind up spinning tires when you try to get it out the water. Worst case your Z drowns..

The only downside is that you WILL want to get the bumper reinforcement brackets seam-welded. When you get lift on the hitch, it puts both tension and torsion on the bottom of the bracket, and will break the weld(s) on the bottom of the bracket. You won't lose the trailer, but the hitch will start to "creak" as the metal flexes.
