zero to wide open throttle

I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but…
In the water, yeah, I've started with the throttle in the minimum/lowest position and whomped on it, putting it all the way to the max quickly (like floorboarding it in a car). I wouldn't do that until the engine is properly warmed. I don't do it when I'm towing a tube because it seems I get some cavitation for a bit if I go too far with the throttle until the boat gets on plane.
I've also run it at WOT on smooth water long enough to see what the boat's apparent top speed is. No problems with that as long as there's no annoying bouncing (porpoising).
On the trailer, I rev the engine a few times to clear the exhaust of water. I don't think I get it all the way to WOT, though. I don't run it this way for even 10 seconds.

I dont get the question either. I do this all the time. That is what seadoo's are made for.

Thats what its all about.
Getting pushed back in the seat. I like to watch another boat out on the lake going WOT and when they get close I throw the throttles all the way- and catch and pass the other boat in a matter of seconds.

Yep, ran WOT from zero quite a few times this last week on silky smooth water in the Delta. The boat sucked a little air at first but jumped right up on plane and I was getting pelted with marsh bugs in no time. Funny thing , I never used so much fuel in so little time....:driving: 20gals=60 mins.
Yeah if you use it likes it is a jetski, it gets expensive. I have gone through $100 worrh of gas in an hour.
I can only imagine what those twin 110's feel like wide open !! My "tired" 80's still shock me during the "power band"...love that pull sensation.
