951 SX-R or Four Stroke SX-R

Don't they make a snorkel for it? (The newer 951s came with them didn't they?

for freeride, the 951 would suck. The carbs are down low............

Yes every boat made since 1999 has come with them already on.With a big bore kit that thing goes out to 1050 with a stock stroke crankshaft,its a monster.

ran across this on PWCToday, DJ knows the thread.........

notice he says INTELLEGENTLY BUILT,thats the key here,that means no water intrusion,no crazy ass porting setups,no ultra high compression ratios.

yeah, most that I am hearing of are just basically Mild limiteds. But these are coming from guys who hold #1 National or World Plates who know the Seadoo's (Tweeker)

I don't need to go crazy with it. A stock 951 has more power than my ported, piped, flywheeled, increased compression 800 and is more reliable.

Those motors are meant to go full throttle for 1/2 hour straight. I would blow my 800 to the moon if I did that.

If the stock airbox will fit I would say go for it,those snorkels put the air intakes right at the very top of the head,they also use some rubber pices that act as baffels to channel water away from the intakes,if it has that much water in it water ingestion is the least of your problems.If they are putting the stock pipes in those boats chances are the stock airbox will fit as well.
