[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 442498, member: 15465"] What is your budget? Keep in mind buying the donor ski is just the tip of the iceberg in cost. If you can afford it, a yammie 4 stroke ski can be bought for about $2500. Definitely best in class for all factors. The yamaha brand has best reputation & parts are very easy to get. Do a compression test & a crankcase leak test if they will let you. Also make sure it has spark. You can spend over $500 on a engine rebuild. Also look up the tunnel past grate & see if impeller is not beat up. Pump can be several more hundred to rebuild. I spent $150 just on carb kits. You get the picture. [/QUOTE]
