Super Jet I need more power. What is the next step?? 701 Freestyle/Surf SN

Bigger carbs would be useless on your motor. Maybe even decrease performance. Listen to Matt. You may even be better off keeping your drivetrain and getting a carbon hull.

Agree carbon hull equals less money in motors for life and their higher rebuild cost.

There are some lightweight glass aftermarket hulls that would be great too if carbon is too much $. An expensive motor is almost wasted on a oem hull imho.

You never really said what you are trying to do other than freestyle/surf and want more power. I say sell your hull and engine. Use that money for an AM hull and a big bore. If you ride surf you don't needa big money billet engine, just a well tuned big bore and a properly setup hull. There's a lot more to a good running/handling ski than a big motor. There are many different ways to aproach this situation and you should try as many different setups as you can to really figure out what you want/need. You will hear a lot of opinions on what you "should" do but you need to realize it's not the billet that makes power, there's plenty of powerful packages that can be setup using a stock cylinder or other cast cylinders. Stock cylinders have their limitations on bore size and stroke that can be achieved and that's where the billet is necessary. I'm not saying billet is only good for huge engines, I've ridden a single carb XS735 billet engine that ripped... Just do your homework first. Surf riders and surf skis don't require the same powerplant as a flatwater freestyle competition ski

They're not hating on the SN. It's just a financially smart move to get as much $$$ as you can out of it and buy a used RN with a good setup.

Add up the value of all the parts and compare it to a complete ski. Complete skis become good deals if they have enough aftermarket parts and are still fairly new. Just know that ALL older skis have rusty cranks, torn mounts, chaffed lines, E-box and stator full of water, worn splines, etc. A nice S/N with a new driveline will be cheaper over time even though its spot value is less than what you have in it.
