Any suggestions on where to get a 2015 Chaparral Vortex 223 serviced. All my local dealers say they do not service these anymore? We live in Eastern PA but will drive to if need be. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Need to replace my impeller and wear ring. From What I have read I should be able to do it myself but would like to have a service department to speak to if need be.

Any one change these parts themselves before?

That's nuts. Any place that works on SeaDoo can easily do engine or jet maintenance as they're all the same. There are videos online showing how to do this. There is a FB website you can join with lots of good info.

I have not replaced these items. Good luck.

Smitty's near Pittsburg. Great place. Smittys Marina Just found out about Jersey Jet Boats on the Vortex FB forum (Jersey Jet Boats - Scarab Jetboats, Jet Boats) . They told someone to call them because they have an iNR module in stock. So, it appears that this is a Scarab dealer that will sell Rotax engine parts to owners of boats from other manufacturers. Hats off to them!

I second Smittys. They are a class act dealer. Ive dealt with them many times and I was 2000 miles away. I do pretty much everything on my boat myself but if something came up that I didn't feel comfortable, I wouldn't hesitate to call Danny and company at Smittys.
