I just picked up a 2009 GTX 4-tec for the cost of the trailer it was sitting on. The POs bought it in 2021 and then it 'blew a ring' and was smoking the first day on the water. He started disconnecting things to pull the block but never came back to it. Gelcoat is chalked and the seats/bar pad...

I’ve been messing around with this 95 XP, it seemed like there was a strong fuel smell when I took the seat off. It has clear fuel lines held on with zip ties. I bought a back to OEM carb rebuild kit from OSD marine thinking that the seats where leaking causing the fuel smell? I took the carbs...

Hi All, Was browsing marketplace and came across what I think is a 1997 GTX. It was abandoned at a rental property, but it was cheap, has no hull damage. Does anyone have a resource for a service manual? On my list so far: Power Wash Keys Missing (trip to dealer and dess coding) Compression...

Hello everyone, spring has came early here in Ontario so my attention has turned back to my seadoo’s. I have a 1995 HX that I purchased in 2021 on a double galvanized trailer, a non running 1992 XP and a parts 92 XP were included for 1800.00 total. I’ve been looking forward to getting it running...

Hi there. Our boat is for sale, located in Seminole Florida 33772. Long Story Short... This was our first boat and I don't have the time nor patience to continue ownership. Boat was purchased in May of 2019. Went for an excellent test drive with no issues whatsoever. However when taking it out...

Good Morning, we purchased a Ski this year without an engine as a project. Does anyone have a 947/951 DI Engine for sale, or can recommend a place where one can be purchased? We are located in the UK. Has anyone used MINOTEK engines from Indonesia before? TIA

Hey! Just joined the forum today as I prepare to start working on an old Seadoo that I just acquired. I ended up paying a grand for both a 96 Seadoo XP800 and a 93 Seadoo SP with a double trailer (both skis run alright so I feel relatively confident in the fact that I made a good deal)...

I am looking for a 1998 Seadoo SPX project. It can be running or not but I would like the gel coat and graphics to be in good shape or restore-able. I am in south east Michigan and will travel a few hours for the right project. Let me know what you got! Thank you, Jason.

Hello SEA-DOO friends' A little background i'm 21 years old living in Cincinnati Ohio. Me and my good friend share 2 SEA-DOO GSX's One RFI and ONE carbureted. So familiar with 787's, as well as working on our PWC's I work for a karting team so Rotax engines are nothing new. As for the...

Hi everyone, I have been meaning to start a thread for quite some time to track my progress on my 4Tec transplant project. My goal for this project is to end up with a boat that can be run on the Cedar River in Iowa without concern of ripping off a lower unit or damaging a prop in the many snags...

I'm starting this fun old thread about my own fun with this 1996 Challenger restoration project. It has been a month now and found some great news from this forum and other insight elsewhere. Initial State: 1. Left outside. Rear 3-person 2-piece rear seats beyond destroyed. Many even...

I just bought my first jet ski (a 1997 Seadoo XP) and decided to start documenting all the work that I do on it in this forum. I'm sure no one here cares about the crap I do but its a nice way to keep track of everything. I got the ski in average condition for a 97. The most noticeable...

Seadoo 1995 XP project Hi! About a month ago I bought 2 seadoos XP 1995.. Both have different problems, but I think that i can solve a lot of problems, and if i can have some help maybe in the summer i will have ready at least one skii.. As I am new in the worl of the skiis i would have som...

As we are approaching the end of the season I am beginning my winter projects list. I'm thinking this list should include rebuilding the carbs. This has been my first season with this boat and its been great. The only problem is starting at the first of the day takes a bit. I have to hit each...

What's up everyone? Just joined this forum today. Not really too familiar with Sea-Doo boats so if this thread is posted in the wrong section I apologize in advance. I was thinking of picking up a 1996 Sea-Doo Speedster as a project boat. The boat has 170hp and is a twin engine jet boat. The...
