So i picked up a 99 xp today and the title says its a 787 and it does but nowhere online do i see you could even get them in a 787?
 
Post a picture of the ski. Does it have a shock seat?

No 787 xp in 99


Long live the 2 stroke Seadoo!
 
You most likely have a 97 xp. Is it all yellow with shock seat?

I agree, check the last two digits of the HIN (hull identification number), the last two digits is the year model. It should also match the registration. If it's a 99 it's a 951.

Its dark out i can take a picture tomorrow. Its a black bottom and has a 787 for sure last 2 are 99. Is their a vin decoder?
 
Well something definitely doesn't sound right. Try and get some pics up tomorrow when it's light

The XP in 96 & 97 came with the 787, beginning in 98 all XP are with the 947/951 motors.
The SPX in 1999 came with a 787.
 
Speculation. Post. A. Photo.

VINS can be changed.

There is also a VIN sticker under the oil tank on the 98-04 XP.
 
i know they are different i have a 96 in my collection im saying it could be a very early 97 model and may say 96? By changed you mean someone drilling off the rivets and replacing>
 
hello joliet boy ! I was born there, if i'm right, would you please send me a poor boy from Merichka's ?

could be a 97 with swapped vin plate &matching title, most likely
could be a 99 with a swapped engine/mpem/pipe, least likely

as far as swapping vin plates, its very very easy, a caveman could do it.
as far as an engine swap, its not very easy to do and only a caveman with some experience could pull it off, but it HAS been done before.

with that said, even if its true (vin swap), I wouldn't lose sleep over it as long as it runs good, but somebody at some point probably pulled a switcheroo on the vin.

runs perfect 150 solid on each cylinder. I just don't want to get in trouble when i sell it come august
 
picture of the ski and engine will tell all. 787 has a flat head, white engine. the 951 has has a dome head, silver engine. 98 and 99 xp has a black hull bottom. 97 all yellow. 97 is the only xp of that gen. to have a factory 787 all newer come with 951
 
If that VIN was tampered with I would take it back to the guy that sold it to you for a full refund asap. Anyone with an ounce of integrity would give you your money back.

It's not worth the headache this could cause down the road when you do sell it.
