This was deffinitly someones race boat at one time. Bildge pump, pipe, carbs, sponsoons, seat are all aftermarket. BTW that seat is a hump seat. Very very rare seat. Dont get rid of that. It will fit your 94 xp. Youve got some good parts there!

The 93 XP was the. Hot rod. Of the industry back in its day your camera angles brought back. So many memories of working on that exact make and model One. Thing i used. A lot. For. All the tight spaces was a Stanley brand 1/4" ratchet set i bought ar Walmart It. Had. A small ratchet that still allowed tou to get enough leverage I also. Used a very large. Plastic zip tie to fish. Dropped tools from under the engine or ,many times would let them shake out on their own from riding them or. Bouncing on the trailer Going. Down the highway

Just purchased a 1994 SeaDoo GTX with a running 657cc. However, it was smoking bad and 1 of the 12 bolts on top was broken. Took compression reading cold 150 in front and 130 in back so began to disassemble the top end. Piston on pump side had nicks in the top where (my guess) part of the ring broken but the cylinders looked really good. I will purchase 2 new pistons (old ones are marked 100), ring set, piston pins, roller bearings and c-clips. I will have a machine shop fix the broken bolt and will re-hone the cylinders to produce a cross hatch. So far most of the items I have purchased are from SBT is that who you would recommend for the pistons, rings, pin, etc.

All PWC's (Personal Water Craft's) Waverunner (Yamaha terminology) Jet Ski (Kawasaki terminology) all don't come with titles. These are all untitled vehicles in the US at least. They come with a "Certificate of Origin" which many people mistake as a title. To legally purchase and register a PWC, Waverunner, or Jet Ski...whatever you wanna call them is to have the original owner and buyer hand write or type a letter with HIN# (Hull Identification Number) and go to a notary public at any bank does it for free. Then go to your local DMV and get your new registration card and fancy state sticker. Now your registered and legal to use assuming you have a license to use it in tidal waters or a lake. Hope that helps :-)

JAYMAG Brownstone Hey mate, yeah I still ride XP's and SPX's. All are 800 machines (or 787). I have been riding my 1996 XP800 hard for several years riding almost every weekend. I do however maintain my machines good. Rotax engines are bulletproof but electrics are there downfall. Keep them maintained as best you can. Use good oil with API-TC rating and check and clean after use. We only ride salt water here in australia so its very hard on the ski's. my 96 still on original motor. XP hull the best seadoo ever and great for wave jumping fun.

Another problem I ran into with my 95 xp is that the one way air valves ( one in the left side of the ski hull and the other in the area just below the latch cover] were clogged or not functioning and the gas tank would suck in and cause the ski to run for 200ft and then die. I could not figure out why that happened until I got home to drain the fuel before winter and air rushed in when I pulled the gas cap and I knew then it was not letting the gas tank breath. Cost me 12 bucks for upgraded one way valves and new hoses.

Just an fyi from a Jet-Ski &Seadoo owner: a “Jet-Ski” is a brand name from Kawasaki. “Seadoo” is made by Bombardier. “Wave Runner” is a Yamaha. All these water crafts are referred to as pwc’s (personal water crafts) What you have there is two “Seadoo’s” & not two “Jet-Ski’s.”
@jeramydowns24876 жыл бұрын
Most people refer to them as Jet-Ski's or just "ski's". Even dealership service departments call them ski's. Its common parlance. Like how all tissues are generally referred to as klenex.
@andrewmcphail17086 жыл бұрын
Jeramy Downs I understand what you are saying like all copies are referred to as Xerox copies or all plastic bandages are generally referred to as Bandaids. But that is where the general public is incorrect. I hear service dealerships referring to them as pwc’s. I had a Jet Ski & Seadoo at the same time & called them those respectively. We’ll agree to disagree.

Andrew Mcphail we all know this. In the UK most of us call our vacuum cleaners, “the Hoover”. We all know that Hoover was a brand name of which many of us have never owned. I’ve noticed that some people have started calling their vacuums “the Dyson” but they’re probably just pretentious snobs. I had one of these Seadoo SPX 650s identical to this one and everyone I know just called it a “Jet Ski”. My RYA licence says “Personal Watercraft” on it but it’s a bit of a mouthful and not many people know what it means anyway. I've also found it not to be worth the cheaply laminated paper it’s written on as any numpty can hire or ride a jet ski anyway and if you try to explain to the jet ski rental guys on the beach that you have a jet ski licence they look at you like you have two heads and proceed to tell you how to press the start/stop button and how to pull the throttle lever to go.
