The 92 dnt sound bad already has mods

 

[KTM434]

Definitely the second one. Looks cleaner, guy is knowledgable enough to know the compression so probably knows how to maintain it better than the guy with the "JS650 Superjet" plus it has a pipe and other mods. That's a fair price, I say buy it

 

[Joker]

X3 I would definitely buy the second one.

 

[87jct90]

I was afraid you were all going to say that, it's three and a half hours away and the other is 20 mins away lol

Again try and Jew the guy down or talk him into meeting you halfway. If I were you I would go get it tomorrow. Just saying.

I always talk people down, that second one is that good of a deal that you would jump on it that quick?

The 1992 is a clean ski. You will have a lot of fun learning on it. When i started riding on a 701 square I at first had a difficult time and thought I had made a mistake buying my first standup. After a while it starts to click and you are able to ride/jump take light turns. I think the 1992 would be a solid ski to learn on. Save up your cash for a 701 to swap in and you will have a very capable ski!

Also worth noting, with the availablility of aftermarket hulls now, as you progress and out grow your SJ, you can buy an aftermarket hull and swap over all the parts!

I say buy it, get out there and start the addiction!

I would jump on that 92. I would have him send you a pictures of the engine bay.

I had to drive 12 hours one way for my RN and 6 hours for my SN.

 

[Joker]

Ya I drove 4 hours each way to get my fx1 and I talked to him on a Friday night and left at 6 am the next morning.

 

[Draggingto]

Yep don't be afraid of a drive to go get what you want. I got screwed around by a shipping company and decided to just go get mine myself. Drove from Michigan to tampa florida to go pick up my ROK.

 

[mthomps]

Get used to making drives to get what you want. I drove 8 hours one way to get my 91 sn. Get that second ski. It's got a prop and bars. You are ready to rock.

My wife and I recently drove from Charleston SC to Syracuse NY, (1800 miles round trip) for a sweet deal on a bare hull. We left Friday after work and got back home Sunday around 2pm. We managed to drive straight thru until a road closure put us in a hotel 8 hours from home.

It was well worth the drive and we have a couple good stories to tell from the trip.

Thanks for everything, I'm trying to work out a deal with the owner of the 92. I have no problem driving the 4 hrs one way to get the 92 but the 92 is over my budget as it is and with the added expense of driving it is way over budget. I'm not trying to be cheap, it's just that I have other things going on that I need the money for. He doesn't respond to quickly to me so it's a waiting game.

Let me ask, why is the 701 so much better than the 650. Should I just buy a hull and make my own sn? I know that bigger cc = more power but is it that much better?

 

[OCD Solutions]

There's no replacement for displacement.

Yamaha got it right with the 701. Great power, very reliable and an absolute load of aftermarket parts to bolt on for even more power with nonloss in reliability. We put billet cylinders up to 900cc's on a stock 701 case and crank and even then they still last for years.

 

[87jct90]

What model 701 bolts into the square nose. Is there a link that you guys know of for the parts list? Hulls are cheap, I'm just trying to think if I should just build one

I hear ya man. The prices on these things are going up. People want them and for good reason. I've said it before but a 650 superjet with a good prop is a great time.

In my opinion a functioning 650 superjet driveline is a fantastic stock setup. It is so reliable and all the power is low.

I know somebody with an 09 superjet and a 650 square. Both are stock. He says the 701 doesn't feel that much more powerful than the 650. The reason the 701 is more desirable is because you can turn it in to a monster with bolt ons and engine mods. A maxed out jacked 650 will top out at around stock 701 with bpipe type power.

Just try to talk him down to the expense of the drive. Maybe he'll knock off a hundred or two for you. The seller of mine did that for me. He was an awesome seller and the boat he sold me runs great all the time.

 

[mthomps]

What's the process of putting a 701 into a square nose? What 701 motor model fits into the square nose?

a 701 will bolt up

a 61x 701 motor will bolt up to the 650 exhaust...i'm not sure on the intake but I dont think it will. You'll need a 61x intake but you can use the 650's carb.

a 62t/61x motor (the most desirable set up) needs the dual carb 38mm from the newer superjets. I believe you can buy a manifold to keep your single 44mm mikuni, which is a well functioning carb from the 650.

A 62t motor, which would come from a yamaha sitdown, is not desirable. It's not designed for low end but higher speed cruising like you'd do on a couch. Also your exhaust will not work due to 6m6 and 61x exhausts and cylinders using m8 bolts and 62t m10.

*Please correct me so the op gets the right info*

 

[87jct90]

Thanks for the advice. Ill have to do some research. I guess it really comes down to what this guy comes back with.

 

[mthomps]

Can't go wrong with that boat...even if you're working your way out of the hole for a while. lol

It will be gone before you know it. I say jump Jump JUMP!

I started on a 701 SN with an aluminum pole, B pipe, Prop and Bars for $1400. Also consider any hull modifications. I actually prefer to buy them without footholds unless I know who did the work. A crappy foothold job could mean a waterlogged hull. All the foam in the tray area will be filled with water and extra weight and on a 650 with weaker power will make a difference IMO. Also be mindful of skis just sitting out for years in the elements. When I go to purchase a ski I bring a compression guage, a battery, flashlight (to check prop), and some spare gas to pour down the carbs in case lines are clogged. Don't buy a ski without proper compression and if you have to pour gas into the carb to start it it may not just be the fuel lines but the carb itself completed clogged.

With winter around the corner and people wanting to upgrade there will probably be another one you can scoop up if you don't get that 92. I would look for an unmolested 1995 SN (with some mods possibly) b/c they come with a 701 in them already and also have the larger midshaft compared to the earlier models in case you decide to put all your parts in a RN one day. Any other ski before 95 with a 701 you automatically know an engine conversion was done. The 701 is a good platform to add bolt ons that will give you more power and if you get real crazy will at least have some parts you can use towards engine modifications like porting and Big Bore motors.

*edit - I don't know what kind the going rates are in NY but down here in GA I have seen 650 SN's go for like $900

Good Luck
