I’m going this morning to grab this gts with a 587 that has a bad wear ring. As long as it passes compression tests it’s coming with me for the price listed. (Under $300).
It looks like i can do the wear ring with heat and a sledgehammer according to youtube and the cost is $60 or so for the part. Am i off base on this or should i expect a larger bill? (Not talking about bearing service, just want to know about the wear ring).

*****************************
Good running 587 engine and computer really not bad ski just need wear ring motor running could crank up make good ski ski price is with out trailer

I spoke with the seller and he said it’ll run and we can compression test it no problem. He resells jet skis locally and has done so for years. Backyard seller. Not just a guy looking to unload a ski that’s been in his shed for 15 years. He knows what he has so I don’t expect any other issues will be found mechanically. He has 20 other skis. He didn’t scavenge this one for parts, it just came in with others he bought. May turn out to be a great little ski for a couple hundred bucks. I expect nothing other than a running ski. It’s ugly betty.
I’ve only had the 657, so anything i need to look for on this ski that I don’t know about coming from the SPX to the GTS?
