Converting 2 - 4 stroke

[O2ntrig]

I have 97 1100 STX, Motors gone bye-bye. I would like to replace it with a newer 4 stroke. Has anyone done the conversion? Any Idea on $. Thanks

Why would you want to spend 2x what a new ski costs?

My issue is that i have no reference on what it would take or if it is feasible. Looking for tribal knowledge. If the cost is twice then I have a 97 Kaw 1100 for sale.

Everything would be custom, and buying the ngien alone would be about as much as a new ski - and it wouldn't even fit.

Re: Converting 2 - 4 stroke

where are you located? I am looking for a winter project jet ski. I am a professional auto tech and would like a project like this. I am partial to seadoos but would consider another brand. I live in upstate NY. How much would you like to get for the ski? If you are near by and want to sell the ski drop me some photos of the jet ski. My email is Gellis1@nycap.rr.com thanks

What to do next....Save time and money, Order a block and installation kit plus three carb kits for your ski from SBT (Short Block Technology...or is that Save Bucks, Totally?) replace complete block assembly with one that has a standard one year (or premium 2 year) fault free warranty to back it up. The best part is that you only have to concentrate on the proper installation of the engine, no concern with internal parts, or assembly this way!!!! Plus most of time the SBT block, ready to install is usually less than the price of just the basic hard parts from a dealer to fix your old engine.
