Cavitation.

What you are experiencing is cavitation. Much like when car spins its tires. Your engine is performing and reaching high REVs, but you r ski/boat does not perform as it should. You need to look at your wear ring. If the gap i from the impeller is larger than the width of a dime, it needs replaced. If the gap is within range, then you need to take a look at the carbon seal. The seal, if it is worn or not adjusted properly, allows for air to be sucked out of the hull of the ski/boat and go directly into your impeller. Once air is at the impeller, you loose performance. So,,, the engine RPM will go high rev but you will go no where fast...

Kevin, there are several good links here, probably one of the best by Dr Honda.

Crankshaft Oil Seal / Engine Locked Up

The seal on your crankshaft has failed and is allowing oil to seep past it filling your cylinders with oil. This is a common failure. Though the seal itself is a cheap item, the repair itself is not. Most install a "Shut-off Valve" on the oil line that feeds the engine. In most cases, if the ski is used once a month other than it smoking more than normal on start up, it is not an issue. If the ski is going to sit for longer times or during storage, shut the vale off. I STRONGLY suggest you hang your lanyard on the valve anytime that you have the valve in the off position. This will remind you that you need to turn the valve on prior to starting your engine.
