So I know I am probably going to have a bunch of haters hatin. But it's hard to hate when it works!
To me it's all about ballin on a budget and that's exactly what I have done here. And just so you know it's far from being finished
Anyways here is a little info on what I built and how I built it. I started with a kawasaki 300sx And gutted it completely. Then I got a 2000 sea doo xp 951 hull and cut out the hole pump cavity including the intake grate area. The reason I did this is because if I want parts to repair it or upgrades parts are easy to find. Intake grates, ride plates, steering cable, props , pumps wear rings and bearing kits are all off the xp and are direct bolt on!!!
Then I took the 300sx hull and cut the back pump section out and glassed in the xp pump section. The drive shaft hight got raised about and inch to help the hulls match up a little better. Then I mounted a js 440/550 bearing carrier to the (fire wall) bulk head what ever you wana call it. I used a aluminum drive shaft with the end of the xp shaft for the prop. This was the only machining work required and was nothing Majour to pull off
Now we are ready for the motor I used 750 sx motor and engine plate. And got some aluminum flat bar to mount to the original 300 mount glassed in the hull. Then mounted js 440/550 motor mounts Then put the motor in place lined up with the coupler then filled the gap from the from the motor plate to the mounts with some 2" angle then welded the angle to the mount.
Now at this point the rest is pretty well straight forward. Hook up exhaust, electrical , water, cables , fuel and boom your flipping waves in no time!
