If you keep a close eye on the forum, good deals do pop up.
You can buy a complete top end with pistons(used pistons) for around $200-300, and a used crankshaft for around $150 or so. Then purchase some gaskets and crank seals from Jetmaniac...you will be good to go.
Or just keep an eye out for a great deal on a motor...although 62T's don't usually go dirt cheap unless they look about the same as yours.

rebuild yourself, sbt engines are pure crap IMO
i was actually reading up comments and reviews on sbt motors..apparently they are not everything they claim to be.

Well your cylinders are 61x's, so i think you need 61X piston kit,(could be wrong) But all the 701 engines I have rebuild I always buy the OEM 61X Piston/Gasket kit from Yamaha and it costs around $300.

Send Chris (Jetmaniac) a PM. He's got everything from used stuff to turn key ported 710cc 62T motors.
Also Brian at Thrust has a complete Raider motor ready to go.

There are a couple of guys here who sell nice gasket kits, buy one of those and some pro-x pistongs. you'll have OEM quality for less money.
For the crank, if you're building your motor back to stockish then an SBT crank will be a cheap way to help you get back on the water.

personally I wouldn't put time into using any parts from that motor. I'd sell off what I can and put that towards a complete motor
If you REALLY need to keep this cheap, you could buy a 650 superjet motor for the time being - they run about 300 bucks.
otherwise plan on spending 600-800 for a stock 62t motor

yeah i was thinking of a 650..but i guess i dont want to spend money on a 650 then regret it later. Might as well just either rebuild this one with new/used parts of just get a complete 701 and drop it in there. Just do it right the first time around, so i dont have to spend more money later. Im not to sure about SBT from what ive heard..

Your buddy is at Surdyke's? I go in there quite a bit in the summer time (and sometimes offseason too)
nope, pure crap
yeah his name is Louis, i met him from another buddy of mine, slowstang305, he has helped me out with parts for my06 vx before , and hes a really nice person to deal with
thats a bite of a crapola sandwich..their prices for a rebuilt 701 are kinda nice. 500..
price may be nice but rebuild work is half @ss, Their quality and parts are cheap cheap cheap. You get what you pay for
