Hello all,
I am currently toying with the idea of purchasing one of my Dad's friends old skis. It's a 2000 GTX Millenium with the carbed 951 motor. He is currently looking to simply get rid of the ski altogether. The engine needs rebuilt and that brings me to my questions. The engine was submerged after the guy's son forgot the drain plug (yes, he's not the brightest) and was submerged for around a half hour while it was towed out I believe. It hasn't ran since the 2016 season and the current owner had a local powersports store take a look and they recommended an engine rebuild (this is a reputable shop; I personally know their mechanics and head of service). Would it be smarter to rebuild or replace the engine entirely with an SBT?? As far as I know the other components like the MPEM and electronics are all still solid according to the shop, so the engine would be the only thing I'd have to spend a lot of time on. Also, what would be the difference in cost between these two options? Any advice or knowledge is much appreciated!
