Time to drop a 701 in that thing and never look back.

Seriously, how much are you willing to spend on a 550 motor to still just have a 550... If you drop an all stock 701 in that hull with the @rhaas Kit you will have more motor than you need. And if you ever get a superjet you will be set to swap the motor over in a hull.

I doubt it, the problem is where the exit is and how you would have to route the exhaust to get to the waterbox in the front and then out the side or back. You really dont need a b pipe in it though, sell the b pipe and that will pay for a good amount of the build.

The only real problem with the conversion is the waterbox. The stock js waterbox is too restrictive and holds the engine back. I ended up fabing up a waterbox from a raider box. Please ask any questions about the swap before you decide what route you want to take. I can walk you threw it.
A JS hull is significantly more fun if it has reeds!

Well it starts easier.
It's much more fun with a 701, reeds are standard on
That conversion kit is ridiculous $ tho. They need to cut down the price

You need to get a fvking job and get a new hobby if a few hundred makes or breaks you.
How about you make your own kit and let EVERYONE know a better way. Go ahead and fab up some engine mout plates, ebox adapter, battery relocation plate and some tried and trued urathane motor mounts that have a lifetime warranty.
Source all the stainless hardware while your at it.
