'96 XP's... Piston size question.. 84mm?

[Three11Brodel]

So, I picked up a couple XP's last summer that had been submerged, so I'm completely rebuilding the engines on them.

I've pulled one engine so far and it's been bored to 83mm - so my options are pretty limited - Wossner 83.5 or 84mm..

I'm not trying to squeeze all the power I can out of it or anything, it's just the hand I was dealt with these ski's..

Anyone have any comments on which direction they'd go?

1mm over is my personal limit.

So, what would you do in a situation like this, just source a new set of cylinders?

I've never resleeved cylinders but that is an option, take it back down the stock bore. You can buy a used set of cylinders and have them bored. I'm not sure which is the cheaper route. I'm not saying you can't go with bigger pistons as you suggest but I have no experience with that. Given the option you suggest, either/or I'd go as small as I could. Good Luck
