You're safe up to 700 lbs. including cargo, people, and weight of the trailer. A jetski trailer (one jetski) shouldn't weight that much. In WA state, trailer titles have the weight posted, and the jetski dealer should have the weight of the jetski (the manufacturers website would have this as well.)

I am in the process of moving to a new place about 5 miles away and have a 440lb 4x7 utility trailer for my fiberglass body, 2-person dune buggy/go kart. The buggy weighs at least 300 lbs. I towed it all last night just fine. With all the weight of other stuff in the car and on the trailer I had to have been close to 1,000 lbs. I had to take it slow though because the only way to get the buggy on the trailer is to have the engine at the back, causing the trailer to wobble side to side if I went over 40mph.

Yeah, you should be fine if you keep it at 700 lbs or less. I got my hitch on ebay and the seller even gives you a receiver hitch and pin (but no ball.)

EDIT: I forgot to mention about wiring the harness. There was enough room to push the wires I needed into the stock wiring harness and I didn't need a heavy duty flasher. Even using regular trailer lights my blinkers work normally and I just fed the wires though under the spare tire though a groumet in the floorboard. The hidden hitch looks nice too. The only parts visible is the receiver opening and tow hook spots.
