A method of forming a jet-pump powered personal watercraft, the method comprising: producing a top deck mold for a first component of the personal watercraft, the top deck mold including a plurality of features for assimilation into the first component, the plurality of features of the top deck mold including a foot tray feature, a bulkhead/firewall feature, a gunwales feature, an engine bay opening feature, and a first bond rail feature; inserting a first thermoplastic material into a heater; draping the heated first thermoplastic material over the top deck mold; drawing the heated first thermoplastic material into or over the top deck mold using a vacuum, the heated first thermoplastic material assimilating the features of the top deck mold to produce the first component; allowing the first component to cool; extracting the first component from the top deck mold; producing a bottom hull mold for a second component of the personal watercraft, the bottom hull mold including a plurality of features for assimilation into the second component, the plurality of features of the bottom hull mold including a mid-rocker feature, a convex groove feature running longitudinally along the bottom hull mold and parallel to a center line of the bottom hull mold, a pump cavity feature, and a second bond rail feature; inserting a second thermoplastic material into the heater; draping the heated second thermoplastic material over the bottom hull mold; drawing the heated second thermoplastic material into or over the bottom hull mold using a vacuum to produce the second component; allowing the second component to cool; extracting the second component from the bottom hull mold; trimming excess material from the first component; trimming excess material from the second component; and coupling the first bond rail of the first component to the second bond rail of the second component to form the personal watercraft. producing a top deck mold for a first component of the personal watercraft, the top deck mold including a plurality of features for assimilation into the first component, the plurality of features of the top deck mold including a foot tray feature, a bulkhead/firewall feature, a gunwales feature, an engine bay opening feature, and a first bond rail feature; inserting a first thermoplastic material into a heater; draping the heated first thermoplastic material over the top deck mold; drawing the heated first thermoplastic material into or over the top deck mold using a vacuum, the heated first thermoplastic material assimilating the features of the top deck mold to produce the first component; allowing the first component to cool; extracting the first component from the top deck mold; producing a bottom hull mold for a second component of the personal watercraft, the bottom hull mold including a plurality of features for assimilation into the second component, the plurality of features of the bottom hull mold including a mid-rocker feature, a convex groove feature running longitudinally along the bottom hull mold and parallel to a center line of the bottom hull mold, a pump cavity feature, and a second bond rail feature; inserting a second thermoplastic material into the heater; draping the heated second thermoplastic material over the bottom hull mold; drawing the heated second thermoplastic material into or over the bottom hull mold using a vacuum to produce the second component; allowing the second component to cool; extracting the second component from the bottom hull mold; trimming excess material from the first component; trimming excess material from the second component; and coupling the first bond rail of the first component to the second bond rail of the second component to form the personal watercraft.
