More like 1.0mm oversize,my understanding is this,you either get an engine that has new liners and is standard bore or you get one that is 1.00 mm oversize,my guess is it is more cost effecient to do it that way and not have to worry about constantly setting machines up for different bore sizes.BTW all engine that I have ever received form them that I had to go into and repair were 1.00mm oversize.I can only speculate on the other ones.

You will lose power, yes.

Additionally, SBT has a reputation for making their engines have lower than stock compression.

IMO if I were you I would build it ,hot rods crank,Pro-x pistons,bore it ,pressure test it and ride.
I would reconsider the Hot Rods crank. I have yet to see one that the PTO and MAG end bearings had the proper clearance to the shaft (you can pull them off by hand.) Not sure if it is the shaft or the bearings. They are cheap to buy but I will take an OEM crank any day over the Hot Rods. If your webs are good then have a reputable crank builder redo yours. Protec has done my 6mm to replace bent rod. The work was good and the price under $500 for all bearings and both rods.
 
what about a complete engine rebuild kit from atlantic jet sports? it includes just about everything you need. guess i would have to clean the cases up and have the sleeves pressed in. but its $559 + shipping. seems like a fair price.
 
Nothing against SBT especially when you're just the average coucher looking for a STOCK motor that will give you the piece of mind of having a great warranty, but personally I wouldn't buy one for a superjet that I wanted to mod. You could probably rebuild your motor yourself for less. I've never rebuilt a motor myself, but I'm pretty confident I might be able to especially with the help/guidance you can get on this site.
If you do any regular work on the ski like replacing a starter and exhaust, etc.
You could follow a general video guide for the first time just to make sure you do everything in the right order, but after that you'll see just how simple a 2-stroke motor is. Especially a general water cooled 2-cylinder.
You have the cylinders bored/honed/reseleeved whatever needs done at the machine shop and get that back and order the piston top end kit before this for final sizing.
Then you can put it back together. Especially if it was running and the cranks good. You can just do new crank seals and new crank case yamabond sealant. And all new gaskets all around.
There's some really good basically literally start to finish engine rebuilds on YouTube. And he does superjets motor 701/760 basically the same motor.
Plus you can use good quality parts and save on the assembly of it all, which really isnt anything crazy hard.
