You can pay it and then take the salvage yard to Small Claims Court for the difference between what you paid and what your witnesses paid - the witnesses, of course, will have to come to Court with you.
Or you can not pay it - if you don't want the jetski back - and they will sue you for the fee minus whatever they sell the ski for and then you can take the same witnesses and present your case.
Does the salvage yard have a written/printed policy?
