So I have decided my 86 and 87 550s both will be stripped of engine and drive . I want them to be better than new when i am done. I see a lot of people saying its not worth the work to rebuild these old skis but I need a project
I work with boats 150k and up but this is about the only project I can afford. I am just looking for advice since i am pretty new to skis and want to start the project out right with some direction I already have a plan in mind but would really appreciate some input!
My plan is as follows....
Remove
Engine
Drive
All fittings etc..... Cables....
Refoam
Repair all the damn cracks in the glasswork
Paint
Turf
As for the engine and drive inspect/rebuild as needed
