My searches haven't turned up anything - has anyone ever swapped a 787 RFI in place of a carb'd motor in an X4 hull? A fuel injected X4 sounds neat, at least in my book. I have a 97 SPX (build thread link below) that is slated for resurrection this winter and also happen to have parted out a...

This won't be a very tech-heavy thread, but I did want to show what a blank canvas the GTIs are and what some elbow grease can get you. I bought this 99 GTI from a friend that ran when parked for dirt cheap. The ski is all original and has never had a wrench turned on it. Mechanically, all the...

Is anyone here using a MIG welder and spool gun to replace welch plugs? If so, any tips or tricks? I recently picked up a spool gun for cheap and was going to try my hand at welding these myself. Before you say it, yes I need an AC TIG welder.

I recently picked up a '00 GTX RFI ski and trailer for $250. I bought the combo for the trailer and consider the ski as a bonus... I've just got to figure out what to do with it. Said ski is below: I put a battery in it and to my surprise everything works and the gauge only shows 60 hours...

I know there are quite a few of us that live in the South and since my schedule hasn't ever allowed me to make a ride, I figured I'd try to gauge interest on a get together. Here's what I was thinking: Date: well before or after the big event in New York (?) and preferably not in wet suit...

Posted from the Yamaha Jet Boaters Forum (for your viewing pleasure) I am what most would consider a hobbyist mechanic/ fabricator having dabbled in a little bit of everything. I’ve bought, fixed and sold 13+ PWCs over the last few years, most of which being Seadoos (am I allowed to use that...

After a test ride I now have a to-do list and questions I need some help with, so here goes. During my daily Craigslist searching I ran across a 97 SPX for $650, which didn't stand out too much until the next picture on the ad revealed this: Needless to say, I had to have it given the...

I had to buy a 3' section of Gates exhaust hose (Gates PN 24032) to replace the hose on my 787 GTX and wanted to sell off the rest to those that needed it. I currently have 7 pieces ready to sell, though if enough demand was there I would buy another 3' section. Price will be $18 shipped (dealer...

I am converting my 2001 951 GTX to a 787, so all the 951 stuff has to go. The motor is original and in excellent shape, though I think it saw some water so it's being sold as bare cases. I can include the crank if you need it for a core. The magneto is in perfect shape. Head- $75 Jugs-$80...

I'm the guy that likes to be over-prepared when it comes to tools and parts, so after some happenings with the wear ring on my GTX this weekend, I got to thinking. My goal with the stock in my trailer tool box is to be able to handle nearly anything that happens at the lake, save for...

Its time to clean out the garage! I need the space and am willing to cut some DEALS on parts, so all items are OBO, shipping not included. If you see something and think “Hmmmm, I kinda need that” then make me an offer! You’d be surprised what I’ll take! More pictures available on request...

As with most others on this forum with a 2 stroke Seadoo problem, when a good deal comes down the 'ol interwebs you've gotta buy it. My first 'Doo was a '97 GTX that I repainted to look like the 2000 GTX and I even added (most of) the trim from the later model ski to pull off the conversion...

Yes, you read that order correctly. I have always loved the color schemes on the '00-'01 GTXs... heck I painted my '97 to look like one. I have a line on a 2001 GTX DI for dirt cheap that supposedly has electrical issues, though the hull is clean. With all the spare parts I have laying...

Yes, you read that correctly. I got this on a trade and had wonderful intentions of bringing it back to life with a 951 swap in it, but time and money simply won't allow it in the foreseeable future. It pains me to get rid of one of these hulls, but it is taking up room I simply don't have to...

Yes, you read that correctly. I saw a 951 X4 build on HulkGreen :lol: and because I can't leave well enough alone, I want to do some gauge swapping in my 96 XP since I already have all the parts laying around. I want to use this thread to host all questions and hopefully document the build. My...

I haven't noticed a thread discussing this, so I figured I would start one. Mods, if it's a duplicate feel free to delete this. I was looking at the 4Tec XPL thread and began cruising the ole interwebs looking at Seadoo motor swaps and it got me to thinking: who's going to be the first to shove...

As if I didn't have enough projects this winter, I added another one today. I just got home with this '96 XP the PO said it ran great and wouldn't start now, so he just wanted it out of the garage. When I got there, I pulled the heads and the cylinders are in great shape, has a new battery and...

Mods, if this is in the wrong place or a duplicate thread, feel free to do what you wish. I thought it could be helpful to post up any specialty tools, either custom or production, that make working on your 2 stroke easier. On the specialty tools note, I was watching TV and saw this...

I figured I would start documenting this build early, since it's still in the planning stages. Some of you may have seen my '96 XP build, found here: http://www.seadooforum.com/showthread.php?71268-SeadooDAN-s-96-XP-build-thread I got this trailer on that deal and aside from some usual wear and...

I'm posting this from the gas station, so there are more details to come! I just picked this little package up from a salvage yard. 2 complete 96 XPs, the cleaner of the 2 was decked out for racing in its day. The X4 bug bit me today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
