Hey all. So I bought a 1997 Seadoo Challenger 1800 back in June for $1000 bucks. When I got the boat home, I started both engines and they ran perfect. It was dark so I didn't spend too much time going over the boat. Long story short, the previous owner did not winterize the boat correctly, water froze and cracked the water housing on the jug. I made a temporary repair to try and get the boat through the season so I could replace the jugs.(found the other jug had the same problem and had been patched as well)
Took the boat out on the bay for 3 hours of good runtime (Idle, WOT, etc...) Ran and performed fantastically. Drag the boat 3 1/2 hours up into PA to Raystown Lake and less than an hour on the water something in the bottom end let loose. Metal shards on top of the piston but definitely from the case somewhere.
Now I am looking to put an engine into the pig, but am not paying $400/Jug for core.
I need two jugs for the seadoo 787 engine. Thanks in advance. :cheers:
