Putting a 951 where a 787 was?

[chucked]

So I just submitted the thread where I asked about getting the hours off of something where the infocenter was hard to read... When it occured to me...
So... I have a SUPER clean 1997 Seadoo GSX 787, and a complete 1998 Seadoo GSX LTD 951 that is wrecked..... So should I put the 951 where the 787 is??? Are the hull fittings the same for the motor mounts, exhaust, and everything?

You would have to glass in new mounts and change exhaust location I believe

Also use the 951 electronics

Anything can be done for enough time and money, but I'm afraid this swap would require too much time and money to make it viable. Besides unless something is wrong with the 787 it's a much more reliable engine than the 951.

It's been done before so it is certainly doable. You have most everything you need to accomplish the feat, but it would be a lot of time, some frustration and you will probably be upside down cost wise.
Hey if it "flips your skirt tail up," then go for it.

Meh, sounds like the GSX LTD will be parted once I get it running.

you could always always just flip the skis, trade motor and stuff and then sell the gsx ltd with an 787 in it lol, try and get some money back. I thought about doing a 951 in an x4 and that was my idea.

it's just the front motor mount. build a crossbar, or make a new drainage tunnel and and glass a new mount in. you won't gain any speed or anything without some pump work. if you're worried about 951 reliability, richen the carbs up, they're tuned way to lean from the factory. swap mpems and wiring harnesses and you'll be fine.
