I agree 2 hours is cutting it close. I might need 3 hours to pull the trigger. On the 55mph max, you seem to suggest that's weak. One great thing about EVs is the instant torque--they are much quicker off the line than even the fastest gas cars. So the sensation of speed is amazing. I expect PWCs to be the same.

Acceleration is certainly important, but knowing what I know about company claims, that 55mph estimate is most certainly in perfectly flat water with an 18-pound waifish vegan and, when my rotund suburban dad bod hits the seat, will be closer to 40!
