Not sure if I'm allowed to post this or where to put it, but it is legitimate and guy been around for a while. Just thought a lot of people in Floroda area could really be helped by this. Sorry if not allowed to link this. It is posted on Facebook, so link may not be accessible if you don't...

I have a 95XP and was looking for a couple jugs because I butchered the ones I took off snapping bolts and trying to drill them out. This cool dude I never met offered me a whole engine, so I went and got it with hopes of using the jugs, but turns out it's this PMC engine and they are out of...

I'm seeing about $70. I need 2. 95 xp can live without but 97 xp is a must because that sucker burries the nose when let off throttle. If 70 is the number ill get 2 but has to be a cheaper way... thanks.

I just saw your reply. I have 6 skis, 2 running, 2 working on and 2 parts. Too much going on. Your right though.... I guess if I take it and just sell it it's free money. I like money. I know it won't run and since there was water in hull, I think any electrical would be crap too. Thanks for the...

Your right, I tried the exhaust pipe expander and it let's me get it where I want it on pipe, but trying to get it on water box and pipe cone is impossible. I ordered new hose with no wire on internet for front and rear. I'm sure it will work and I got enough to do both my skis because a mater...

Any tips on expanding that wire reinforced hose? I tried luring it and won't go more than half inch on..... I still want to get the 2 1/2 inch for water box end but know ill have same problem. I was thinking tail pipe expander from Harbour Freight foe a few dollars, but even if that works, the...

Awesome, thanks!

Its the front one that hooks up the pipe cone to the expansion tube. I hit a wake the other day and it burst then started running like crap and filled bilge with smoke. Its inside diameter is 2 inch and looked at radiator hose with wire in it but costs a fortune.... What can I use to get it...

Got a look at engine today, he had plugs in for years and water in hull. I told him I'll pass but only because I have too many projects going on and is a hassle to tow it to ramp. He said if I change my mind its ok, but what do you all think? I cant put over 2k into this thing.... free aint...

I'm going to look at this in a day or 2 but all I know is its a 2003 GTX, not super charged. By pics can anyone tell me more? I see a few different ones for that year..... its free and titled from a fried of a friend and I have to tow it a couple miles to boat ramp so im definitely going to take...

I'm in Florida so I know they are run in Salt water mostly but this is nuts.... snapped 3 bolts ( took 3 days and I think I'm lucky ) getting head off but everything else came apart easy. The mag housing snapped 4 bolt but got 3 out and last one will need to be drilled. First 717 I'm working on...

I took (tried to)both my 97 xp out this morning. I rebuilt both engines with the help of this forum. One is perfect, but the other I need more help. It started and ran in driveway but stalled a couple times. I put in water but still on trailer and same thing. It would run for 5 to 10 seconds...

No rust on crank and bearings spin free with no noise, its definitely cherry and I was very surprised. Counterbalance bearings good too, I ordered the seals though. I thought same thing about leakage, but figure its the dangling part that let oil pass. I can see by pulling everything apart that...

I pulled engine and split case. Evidently the previous owner installed a new crankshaft as I can see the welds. They must have had a hard time lining up the two halves on re assembly because I see two nicks on inner seals which tells me they pushed too hard then tried again and forced them...
