Team Scream will set you up. He already did all the hard tuning work and knows how to set the carbs up for each engine. Go team scream and don't look back.
I don't see why you need a dyno to dial in an engine. Unless you wanted to try different porting combos, different pipes, different induction systems. Just pay a local tuner that has good knowledge and have him ride it and dial it in. It has to be close. I can't see it being too far off.

Man, some people just put way to much thought into this chit. Its a fuggin jet ski for god sakes not a Top Fuel dragster.
Tune it at the water, its not rocket science.

i ran the ski down the lake wide open for 30 seconds... it tacked out at 8.72 return to landing, strapped it to trailer lowered ski into water till it would run same rpms... then ran it for 30 seconds checked plugs (they looked good) and my pops jetted the carb (42 ken...) it's not a lamey motor but just want to how much hp i'm making to the impeller

your realise the load when the boat is on the trailer is different than the load when the boat is running with you on it in the water?

i made sure i ran the same rpms .... the ski was not totally in the water, i tried to mimic the same pass or load

it's not the same....... how many other people do you know of that tune there boat via it sitting on the trailer and revving it up?
you run the boat pull the plugs adjust and go back and do it again till you get the turns right on the carb.... running it, then strapping it to the trailer and revving it out again and then pulling the plug will never give you an accurate plug reading....
but then again what do i know :dunno:

i used a small 2 inch tack... one ground wire, one wrapped around spark plug wire... the load on the trailer was probably heavier than what i ran down the lake but i was doning the best with what i have to work with

your missing the point :no::thinkerg:
tune it right and save yourself the headaches now.... take the time to do it right so you don't have issues later on down the line like the boat grenading itself because the jetting and the turns on the carb were off

If you were using a "Tiny Tach" to tune with, those are not accurate, the refresh rate is up to 3 seconds behind if I am not mistaken. The only tach that I trust is the PET Tach's. Not sure, but I think the EGT sensors also have a Tach on them as well, could be wrong on that one. But the PET is the most accurate. Follow the link he posted to Watcon's advice, that is the easiest and most concise discription I have read yet.
