Sea Doo 1000 to replace 800 PTek

[saskryan]

I'm starting to get up into some high mileage with my 800 PTek 2008 and heard of a guy who put in a seadoo engine and was getting over 250hp at a relatively decent price. Anybody else heard of this? Lots of work to make it fit?

If it works that would be an awesome upgrade!!

Ya that guy built that sled custom including the turbo system. Cost him over 40g. And he barely fit it into a old school chassis with tons of room. I guess if you got the supercharged version it would be easier but ill tell you right now it won't fit and would cost a lot of money to make it run right at elevation and a lot of money to make it fit. And why? It would weigh 800lbs

So definitely better off to go with an 860BB.

Go with 872 here good things and reliable, hmmmmmmm

dont the watercraft engines require bearing supports for the clutch side or something???

not sure why everyone thinks a BB is un-reliable...

Because they used to be.
