[QUOTE="Ride_Klein, post: 237749, member: 6976"] PSG is your expert if you're looking to bolt a Yamaha pump and tunnel in there. The Fiberglass insert that I used was really pretty simple to do. I used a 787cc motor out of a 1995 XP800, but any seadoo pump tunnel and motor should be fairly similar. I chose the 787 motor because of the power available for the weight. I like the boat a lot in my use, but like PSG I can see a 4 stroke in my future because I can't leave well enough alone. I cut the fiberglass tunnel out and then used a combination of stainless fasteners and 3M 5200 to attach and seal. We've taken some really big bottom, stump, rock, and even an old fence t-post hit and nothing is worse for the wear except a few new bumps on the bottom. Rancherro50 on here used a 717 engine I believe. He also fashioned his own pump tunnel. It is a dang fine piece of fabrication and machine work. You should definitely read his thread for ideas. If you need pictures of anything on my boat feel free to post up and I'll grab a picture of it. [/QUOTE]
