Ok thanks. What model should I look for? Like a 1200?[url=https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=322524#p322524 said:PSG-1 » Today, 10:23[/url]"]I've heard nothing but negative on the 951 engines, they had all kinds of problems, I know a few people who had them, and they had nothing but problems, including blown engines.
If you're looking for something in the 900+ cc range, consider a Yamaha, they're great engines.

For 2500 dollars, I bought a FX high output engine, turn-key ready. Of course, that didn't include the jet drive, but I already had that. You can find some good deals, just check around.

The VX and FX series are the newer 1052 cc 4 stroke. Most PWCs made after 2005 are 4 strokes.
As for how to tell the difference, if you compare the 2 running, you'll note a difference in the sound, as well as a lack of smoke from the 4 stroke engine.
