where in the heck can I find green rub rail for my doo challenger,,seems most parts for this 1998 boart are crazy to find,,,it may just be me but getting frustrated, I need passenger windsheld, rear ladder, :facepalm: thank you for any help...:willy_nilly:

Specific parts will be impossible to find, other than on ebay.

BUT... Seadoo didn't make the rub rails, so go to your local boat shop/marina, and have them match the profile. The only drawback is... you will only be able to get white or black.

thank you Tony...I like the looks of the challenger but I bought one that was bored and carbs jeted and a few parts still not bought,,,he has a marine repair shop the parts for the engines well the port engine...with the mods I think I should go with premix and use the oil talk to lube the bottom end...he said each 787 should be putting out aprox 150 hp .I question that ???:facepalm: but then what do I know ...all I owned have been xps gtx, gti, and really liked them...thanks again Tony

Yep..... and there's another guy smokin' crack, that claims to be a pro. You can't pull 150 hp out of the 800 engine. You may be able to push it up to 130~135.

OR.........

If you ran dry pipes, and let them spin 8000 RPM.... MAYBE. But, those wouldn't live long as a recreational engine. Not to mention, if you built them to spin that high, they wouldn't have any low torque, and the idle would be rough.


I guess if he made a "Big Bore" kit, that turned it into a 1200cc engine... that would get you into the 150 range.
