Hello fellow mechanicaly inclined people. I recently purchased a 1996 seadoo GTX (first ski ever) that has not ran since I’m assuming 2016 per the tags on ski and trailer. The exterior is in perfect condition. When I tried to start it would only click so I took to some other forms and tried to hand crank but it was as stiff as a board. As I slowly took the top off the engine it was as i feared. Clearly the previous owner only ran in saltwater and never flushed the engine so it was a mess. Took me almost a hour just to get the top off of one of the pistons.
With the corrosion shown in the pics attached is there any saving factors to this engine or should I just purchase a new one?
