Gp760 build rumble bee

[Sdgp760]

Hello community. I have a acquired a 97 Yamaha gp760 for free! From the original owner with less then 50 hours on it I’m from Southern California where water racing is not really a thing but I wanna build this into something I can race the ca jet jam circuit this year ..

So my question is what are everyone’s recommendations about building this engine ? Who’s parts are preferred and what not.

The engine is a 65v engine.
The class is gp5 runabout Spark /800
Maximum cc is 800cc

Thoughts on buildout?

The Green hulk forum may be a better place to ask

Can you change the engine to the Yamaha 800 (66E)?

Yes, It will fit.

Biggest thing you need for that ski is an extended ride plate to keep the front end from bouncing. Ski is very light in the front and is a bouncing machine as soon as you hit some bumps. That’s even with the trim going down. I would have to hang over the front in order to keep speed and try to keep it from bouncing. Even with the extended ride plate you may have to put a couple of washers in the rear bolts to angle it down. Great little ski for play riding. Idk about racing.
