the seadoo 717 is the same motor as the 720.. your sportster has twin 717 motors so yes this is the right one to buy..

have you searched sbt ? good motors with warranty and you can send your block back for a core charge

Thank you so much Matty, I believe we will go ahead with the ebay purchase since we cannot return the old one as it is completely destroyed and would be super expensive to ship back to the USA. We really appreciate your response!!!

Waitttttt!!!!!! Are you sure? I'm almost positive if you have an 1800 then you have twin 787s and not 717's!!!! Do not purchase yet!

1998 Sportster 1800 = 717


No Rave's, upright engine

Hmm, okay learn something new every day. Why is it called an 1800 then?? Just didn't want him to buy the wrong thing without confirmation

1800 = 18'

Lol I guess I thought it was correlated to engine size.

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!! I guess it is definitely a 717/720 and we will proceed to purchase the rebuilt engine on ebay!

If you want to be 110% correct just post a pic of your current engine.
