I like the idea of parting them both out but keeping enough parts to upgrade your SJ in addition to enough parts to drop in to a second standup hull that the proceeds help buy.
Thanks
Seems like the for sale portion of the X gets good responses to items. I think I will spend some time to get them running so I can give a good description of the parts.

The raider engines aren’t an upgrade to your stock engine. You already have 62T cases and the 61x cylinder is more desirable than the 62T.

You posted at 9:02 am then come back little over an hour later to no responses. Its Saturday morning. Many are not up yet. I just finished a 26 mile road ride. This is not FB where your gonna get 200 bad opinions in 5 minutes. What you will get for the most part is more knowledgeable answers. You have basically the same motor with only 5 years on it vs motors that are 25 years old. Have they been rebuilt? Also, the only difference is the port timing. The raider cylinders are 62T which will give you more top end with less bottom end power. If you want to go faster then this may be for you. Depends on what you are after. Honestly, i would add a pipe to yours along with prop and modified CDI to raise the rev limiter. Plus handling goodies. Intake grate and rideplate.
I was going to send out and get bored and ported. Fit with a pipe. Lighten flywheel. New head or shave the one I have. rebuild carbs. Then put in over the winter.

Depends on what you want. If top end then the 62T cylinders are fine. If you want good all around you are better off sending your stock 61X cylinder out for porting.
