You can buy a BRAND NEW motor directly from Kawasaki for your boat, but be prepared to pay more than the boat is worth. SBT, in my opinion, is the way to go.

I was looking at SBT's website, and it sounds to me that they send you a rebuilt motor and you send them your broken one? If this is correct, how do you know that my core part is not better than the one they shipped me?

sorry, just nervous about getting someone elses motor that has been rebuilt

SBT is pretty thourogh...they clean everything, paint everything and use new parts on most of it. You will be ok, and they always have the warranty too.

We can rebuild your motor better than new...

SBT, ya right. Far too many horror stories, No thanks. You are a lot better off sending your engine to jetskimechanic. Robert stands behind all his work 100%. SBT may have this warranty but what do you do on days like today when the sun is out and your ready to ride,, waiting for your warranty engine to come back to you? Some people have told me that I should not voice my opinion because I have not used SBT,,, I offered to put an SBT engine to the test,,, it never happened. Robert's engine's have been tried and proven in very harsh conditions,,, still running strong. My money is with jetskimechanic. For those that do the surf ride,,, Robert built the engine in Christopher's SJ and we all know it get's well used.

Roberts place is the way to go imo. He did good by me when he rebuilt the race motor in my XP a few years back. Still runs like a champ after 2 years of hard riding. I am sure anyone else that has done business with him will say the same thing. Good luck!

SBT sounds like a nice option, but if you keep your jetski engine in good condition and is time for a rebuild, i will send it to jetskimechanic... i will prefer to have my own engine rebuild and just replace what is needed...
