  • Motor swap question Hull is a xl 1200

    Has anyone ever done a motor swap into a 1200, I mean anything other than going smaller. If I can’t find a blown xl motor I’d rather invest some money in a 4 stroke I feel it could have a braud range of performance improvements and better fuel mileage. Just any info and or thoughts on this. Would a gp/gpr/fx140 motor fit or should I just stay simple and stock and tune that up a bit?

    Im dealing with a recently acquired seized motor in a 1200 (01) and I'm thinking about rebuilding it myself. Sending the carbs out and ebay buying what I don't have. We should share notes on the projects, esp. Where you get your parts.

      You can fit a fx140 or fxho in the hull , but you will need all the wiring, ecu, exhaust from a 4 stroke wave runner. That would make it pretty expensive. I think that only makes sense if you find a functioning 4 stroke ski with a damaged hull for a good price.

        All I have is the hull and electronics and pump, I’d like to get a seized motor and rebuild it.
