Pwgsx- you are correct about getting what you paid for.

thats a bite of a crapola sandwich..their prices for a rebuilt 701 are kinda nice. 500..

yeah his name is Louis, i met him from another buddy of mine, slowstang305, he has helped me out with parts for my06 vx before , and hes a really nice person to deal with

Thank you wavedemon. I'll keep you in mind if I decide to sell the parts.

yeah i was thinking of a 650..but i guess i dont want to spend money on a 650 then regret it later. Might as well just either rebuild this one with new/used parts of just get a complete 701 and drop it in there. Just do it right the first time around, so i dont have to spend more money later. Im...

I'll have to talk to a buddy of mine from yamaha. I know surdykye yamaha gives 20% plus free shipping. So I might go that way. I've never rebuilt a ski motor, have done some cars tho.

i was actually reading up comments and reviews on sbt motors..apparently they are not everything they claim to be.

wow..i cant wait to see how the ski turns out. What kind of paint scheme are you going for?

nice looking ski.. i just picked up my 1st superjet a couple days ago also, its a 2000 but unlike yours..mine was a saltwater tank for a couple years and now im trying to undo all the damage so its in process of being fixed!

Would you guys recommend a Sbt motor or just rebuild this one myself?

Ok. Where do u suggest I look for pistons and a crank. eBay? Here or pwctoday? Also do I get standard pistons with rings or will any kit do?

I would love to just buy anoter motor, but my funds are extremly low at the moment, and I'm trying to get this girl on the water as cheap as I can. I know I need 4 motor mounts already, and I think the starter is toast, plus my wear ring is done. So all that adds up already. And if I can get the...

How could I check to see if my crank or pistons are bad? I'm going to see if I clean everything up. IM going to try to salvage something. What if I let the metal parts soak in kerosene or gasoline.. Will that help? The carbs are starting to look a lot better than from when I started. Also, how...

ok, i was able to open the motor up completely.. when i took the case off, the pistons were frozen in there spot, as is they didn't want to rock to the left of right on the rods. The crank spun freely, but was super dirty, as you can tell from the pics. please advide me what to do next, or what...

tell me about it..i got it off some super rich guy that had it sitting in the badyard..just sitting in the dirt waiting for someone to give it some tlc. I think i got a decent deal

to take the flywheel off would i need a puller?

thanks for the replies guys! i added some more oil to the top of the pistons to see if it will help a little bit. The impeller looks ok, i didn't see any nicks in it so im thinking the wear ring will have to be changed. The whole boat is stock from the looks of it, and the carbs...well the...
