PWC's in general, I believe, are 2-stroke inboards with an
impeller/pump unit.  Not to be confused with the 4-stroke inboard pump
ski/speedboats that might only seat two, or 2-stroke outboard jetboats
for shallow river navigation.

Maybe "2-stroke inboard" is the only generalization I could make, and
I'm still not sure the government officially recognizes it that way.
