I just posted the links because I knew it had been done. You'll have to read them yourself :biggrin:

Why bother, save your pennies for a Polaris motor. They rip.

Just stick with a RN.....trust me...

and what do you do as parts for Polaris PWC motors become more scarce?

I Believe He Ended Up Ditching The Bedplate And Glassing Mount Into The Hull.

I agree stick with the SJ and forget the boooolaris

FYI, mine (above link) was built with Yam 701 motor mount plates installed (rare). It was built for a yam setup from Wamiltons. I used SJ bedplates and mounts - no mods required.

But... you could easily glass in your own mounts to make a polaris oem hull accept SJ motor mounts like mine is.

Yes they rip but the flywheel and crank are super-heavy... no "snap" like a 701 unless you lighten the crank and go total-loss

A yamaha powered Octane hull (especially a light hull) is amazing. Its a whole other animal when you lighten it up and give it a responsive powerplant. :biggthumpup:
