Bought a low compression (either 100ea cyl or 110 ea cyl , used 2 gauges) seadoo in great condition with a trailer in great condition for $900.
The trailer is worth 900 so I got a near new looking ski free. The clock shows 225hrs. I need advice on how to proceed. It was supposedly rebuilt and never ridden and I can see paint chips off head bolts but nothing else. Gray lines have been replaced. Not sure if carbs were rebuilt. Last reg tag is 2025.
Do I swap motors?
Do I use a wiseco top end and see how long it runs?
Where is a great place to buy a motor?
Do I rebuild it myself including crank?
Warranty is meaningless to me as I won't ever pull a second motor and install a third. TOO MUCH WORK! Im too old and have bad arthritis.
I need a motor that WILL BE 100% reliable and never need a warranty. I know its a lot to ask but I dont want junk!
