Seadoo engine replacement

[divergary]

Recommendations of a replacement engine for my 1998 GTX Limited. I used SBT rebuilt engine 5 years ago. Any idea how much a new engine from Seadoo costs? I pulled the jet pump and it rotated fine. Pulled head and everything looked normal. Something is preventing the engine from rotating since last used in early June. What else to look for?

Sounds like the crank is seized. Did you fog it when you stored it 3 months ago?

fogging

I always fog while at high idle, about a third of a can of Seadoo lube, then shut off water, rev a couple times to dump any excess water and shut off engine. I then pull the plugs, spray oil in cylinders and bump over a couple revs and replace plugs. Never had hull flooded and it stays almost dry in the pumps sumps. I have been a Seadoo owner since 1997 and use mostly in the Gulf of Mexico. Now that I know it is the engine I need to get some estimates or just replace the engine myself, again. Any suggestions where to get an engine and the cost to have repaired/replaced at a Seadoo dealer?
I sure want to find the root of the problem so i can avoid anything in the future.
