Persuade me not to build

[priest312]

I currently have a 91 sn 650. Yesterday I aquired a 90 x2 and with it came a 93 vxr pro 700 waverunner.

By next spring I need to add another superjet to the collection (my fiancé wants/needs her own). I'm hoping you guys can help me decide how to go about that. Rn or sn doesn't matter much, I want a 701, she is fine on a 650. I want to buy another hull and piece together a sj and glass in footholds, but I'm concerned about overall cost.

Do I
1. Find a cheap hull and swap the engine/pump out of the vxr to build my own sj
2. Swap the 650/700 and sell the vxr with a 650 in it, use the cash to buy a stock sn 650
3. Swap the 650/700 and part out the vxr to buy a stock sn650.

Which option will result in a sj650 and a sj701 for the cheapest out of pocket cost. Thanks in advance for all of your opinions.

The Vxr is only worth about 800 together and less with a 650. Part the Vxr and keep the 701

if your looking for a pretty clean sn hull i should have one coming up for sale with title and reg in the next few months.

Part out the vxr, but keep donor parts. Look for a complete SJ clean and ready to ride, but know you have the VXR motor in your back pocket. If you find a good complete ski, sell the motor, if you find a good parts ski, drop in the motor.

I'll keep my eyes open in the for sale section

My biggest concern is the ability to part out the vxr. Do vxr parts still hold much value? I don't see many vxr's or waverunner lll's around in my area.
