Default Need advice!

Well I took a buddy out on the jetski today and made sure to tell him not to run over any ropes. Of course he ran one over. We tilted the jetski 90 degrees and cut the rope out. The jetski ran fine right after that. We loaded everything up and went straight back to the dock. I could not go faster than 10-11 mph on the way back for about 2 minutes, and then it started running fine again. Once the ski was on the trailer and I pulled the plugs, a bunch of black oil came out along with some water. Since it has been parked in the garage, it has dripped a good amount of oil. I'm taking it to a dealership sometime this week. Anyone else ever done anything this stupid? I'm just looking for some advice on what kind of problems/damage I might be looking at. Any information provided would be helpful. Thanks for your time.

Were you in the water or on land when you tipped it over 90 degrees? Hopefully you were on the shore not out on the water/ you need to tow or drag to a shore before tilting it, I have done the same thing on land with no problem for a lady who did the same thing. brought it in turned it on its side remove the intake grate and cut out the rope and pull it out both ends, put the grate back on and off she went with no trouble

We were in as shallow water as we could be. It drove fine right after, but it eventually started messing up.
