Hi everyone!
I am new to the project jet ski community, but Im really good at building car engines so I’m hoping those skills can transfer over a little bit.
I have a 1988 Kawasaki 650 X2 that I found at the marina where I work, my boss let me take it for free cause it was kind of abandoned. It has most everything but the engine, gas tank, and battery (obviously). I was wondering what y’all would recommend to do with it, whether it would be an engine swap from a donor machine, or if it’s too hard to find all the parts to make it running again. Or if I should get another jetski to build instead. I will add pictures of it aswell that I took yesterday!
I am also a high school student at the moment so I don’t necessarily have a huge budget to make a crazy build that y’all have. Just want something that can run and be fun to use at the lake.
Thank you for all the help!
