A high speed motorized water ski (10) has a hull (16) having a bow (18), a s tern (20) and a deck (22) sized for accommodating a standing rider (12). A jet pump (100) is mounted in the stern (18) for disch arging a propelling stream of water outwardly from the s tern (18) in a direction generally parallel to a longitudinal axis (144) of the h ull (16). A motor (108) is mounted within the hull (16) for driving the jet pump (100). The standing rider controls the speed of the motorized w ater ski (10) by means of an arm pole (26) having one en d attached to the hull (16) near the bow (18). A hand grip (132) is attached t o the other end of the arm pole (26) for enabling the st anding rider to control motor speed and for providing stabilization to the standing rider's stance on the deck (22). The motor (108), jet p ump (100) and other components of the motorized water ski (10) are mounted in the hull (16) to define a center of gravity so that when a rider of average weight stands on the deck (22), the composite center of gravity (120 ) of the motorized water ski (10) and rider (12) is bene ath the deck (22) in order to enable the standing rider (12) to turn the motorized w ater ski (10) solely by a shift in rider stance on the d eck (22).
