Hey CNC, any way of getting some better pics of the engine compartment? The way the 3rd pic looks i cant see any way the stock pump would work since the motor is in the way. And to be honest the pic showing the engines almost looks kinda photo-shoped in reguards to that prop shaft you can see.... i take it there has to be some sort of gearbox involved in this since the engines are mounted inline and the prop shafts are off-center???

Wally,
The next time I get down to my buddies shop I'll shoot some more pics. No Photo shop for sure. I included a couple more, still from early, one of just engine in mockup position and the other of the of the whole Seadoo sitting on his horizontal boring mill, drilling holses for the propshaft tubes.

it seems like it would be nearly impossible to control this thing at speed unless you can somehow synch the engines together. Get a few more RPM's in one engine than the other and you're gonna be thrown.
Cool project though. good luck and be safe (relatively).

I was thinking the same in regards to photo-shop becaues in the first pic the size of the rear motor seems out of scale to the jet ski. (motor looks smaller than what one actually is.) After seeing the larger pic in the shop though, it doesn't look like the average 2-seater jet ski.
Here's one that was done awhile ago with a single 2.5.

The ski in question is what is called a sea doo LRV they made them around 2000 I think a 4 seater w coolers and the kitchen sink. as far as the motors sinking up he said custom gearbox so I figure that both motors feed into a gearbox that then drives the props and the pump He definatly has room to work compared to a standard 2 or 3 seater. Oh yeah stock 135 hp motor.

It's blocked off. You can read all about the whole project here. This guy works for Reggie Fountain.
