O.k. I got screwed! I bought 2 1997 XP's that were have supposed to have been completely rebuilt. Well one won't start in the water but it will on the trailer. I took it to a shop and did a compression test. One cylinder was at 160 and the other was at 100. He said I need a new motor for 2500 bucks he could put one in for me. I asked if I could just replace that piston and he said no. So my question is: is he trying to screw me or can I just do a top end? I found a new motor online for 1200 bucks has anyone here ever pulled there motor and put a new one in if so any special tools required? It looks fairly simple but I've never done it. Also is it worth it to put that kind of money in a 1997 seadoo XP or should I just cut my loss right now? Thanks for any advice!
