WSM new vs Sea Doo rebuilt 951 crankshaft

How well rebuilt oem is the question... usually superior quality but up to the person putting it together and depends on the quality of the parts.
However I've been using wsm and even hot rod cranks lately.
Wsm cranks combined with wsm pistons are matched pretty close ballance wise. And I haven't sen one fail. I've seen counterballance bearings fail more often then cranks.
Wsm cranks are made in Taiwan, bearings have steel races, fit and finish are great. Not sure how they would handle severe abuse and modifications. But stock is pretty good.
Hotrod cranks are better balanced from what I was told but I don't know how well it's balanced to other piston manufacturers.
What it comes down to is... who is the better salesman. No one is ever going to test the crankshafts and and as Mekanix states... depends on who is assembling the engine. I'll take new over rebuilt but I'll soon be purchasing rebuilt crankshafts. The cost savings will be worth the extra BS of shipping. I like WSM because I can throw my crank away. 
Quality??? You'd have to go real deep into the parts and even the people building the cranks. No one is perfectly consistant and even new cranks can be defective. The people building them are not always highly skilled so.... you're always buying a "pig in a poke." and betting/hoping you made a good choice. I can get WSM dropped shipped and have it at my house in 3 days. I don't pay shipping so.... I like that. Very convenient which has value in itself. Good Luck. I don't think you'll be wrong either way.

The decision is easy, the OEM ones aren’t available anymore.
The best would be to have your OEM crank rebuild by one of the best like Competative Crankshafts.
Stay away from SES and FullBore as they are not delivering on promises especially return times, literally months and months late.

I called Fullbore and they said they would have the engine ready in the SPRING! Wow! It is a good sign when a company is busy, but that is just too long! Thanks for the input!

I had my motor rebuilt by SES. They were slower than advertised but I expected that going in. Quality seems good but I do not have it running perfectly. Hopefully the new fuel pump I just ordered will fix that!
Greg:Keep in mind members get 10% off WSM parts and also free shipping. Just message me a part number to get an order set up if you like!
Sorry, I do not know how to message you!
