300/440/550 Putting a 550/650/750 Kawi engine in a SuperJet Hull???

[RMBC Freeride]

I posted this over at PWCT, thinking there would be a bigger audience, but I thought I would put it up for discussion here too...

This sounds like a crazy conversion, and I dont know if it has been discussed, but I thought this would be a good place to bring it up.

Reason I started this thread is because I have a set of Billet couplers that I believe would allow someone to make this swap...

These have 18mm threads on the engine side (should fit all Kawi 550, 650, & small pin 750). And 24mm threads on the driveshaft side (fits Yamaha SuperJet 650 models, 90-93 midshaft)

Squarenose SJ hulls come up for sale pretty frequently, and many Kawi guys already have modified engines... hmmmm?
Bedplates and/or mounts would have to be fabricated to line everything up.

Any interest? I would have listed these in the for sale section, but I figured it would get lost there... discuss... ideas???... offers?

I'll take the conversion coupler for the yami., doing the reverse swap in an X2.

Cant help you there... these will only work the other way around :frown:

Should, I just need the motor side for the yami.

Neither one of these will fit a Yamaha crankshaft... The 18mm will fit a Kawi crank. The other will fit a Yam 650 intermediate shaft (different threads than the crank)

Thought they were the same, my bad.
