That's a ton of fiberglass work, to salvage a hull that had it's Mercury Sportjet die in. I think there are plenty of those early 2000's hulls laying around once folks figured out the cost to source one.

Knew a guy that put a seadoo 4 stroke motor in one. Was a ton of work and was surprised he pulled it off. Rode in it once at one of our seadoo meets. Was pure insanity.

Is the engine already a bit of a ballast in that engine, and there's great wake????

You might just be right, with all that junk in the trunk, it may be rivaling some wake boats! I don't think anyone would dare try to go ropeless though!
