Vibrates then engine dies

Hi
I was riding my 1998 seadoo gtx limited this weekend and it started to vibrate, I think near the drive shaft, then I would accelerate and it would die during acceleration, I started it up again and got up to about 30mph then it would die (the gas was turned on). It vibrates the worst during acceteration. I had to drive it over to the landing on "idle" because I didn't want it to die on the way over.
Any ideas
Thanks in advance
 
pull your plugs and turn the motor over by hand, pull the flywheel guard off and slowly turn.

I have someone watch the pump and the drive shaft. listen for noises

might give you a good start at this problem.
 
I just broght it in to the shop this morning, said he'd give me a call in a day or two so will see what wrong

Thanks
 
when, the shop said it is a blown pistion, is this common for a 1998 with a little under 200 hours on it
