As far as Rotex
engines go, its highly unlikely to change. These engines are
bulletproof, and have been used in ski-doo's for ever with great
results.

Isn't it becoming more practical by the day to make
Iraq's desert the new World Nuclear Waste Disposal Site?

Larry,
They are also using the 4-TEC engine in some boats this year in addition
to offering the Mercury engines.

For the record, to save the jetboat side of SeaDooDoo's business,
they're using the MUCH more reliable and MUCH less gashog Mercury
Sport Jets, now.

Unfortunately, noone at DooDoo was smart enough to use the ONE HANDLED
THROTTLE/SHIFTER and they just COULDN'T bring themselves to let
Mercury's self-draining exhaust system, that requires no
winterization, be. In it's place they have a PWC waterbox to keep the
dealers happy winterizing jetboats.

Maybe they can get rid of those queer, crappy, Austrian 2-strokers

Why would you think that??
The original owners of the company are back . They built the first Seadoo in
the late '60's. Why would they stop now??
As far as the engines, they have used Rotax engines since the beginning,
again, why stop now??

The comment makes sense if you are a repair shop as the majority of our
business is rebuilding Seadoo engines.

Gee, Sea Doo sells what, about 55% of all the PWC's? I guess the most
rebuilds you would get would be theirs.

Yeah yeah yeah...the Poo Rep tried that argument as well...BUT...in
my area, until the past couple of years, Poos were sold at about 3:1
odds for Kawasaki, Yamaha and Polaris (not combined). I repair
about 15 Poos for each one Kawasaki or Yamaha or Polaris I repair.
The numbers don't lie.

Sea Doo: Job security for the service industry.

BTW...didn't we already go through this a couple of months back?

What? Hey, Larry, everyone loves Austrians! Crappy, queer, stroking
or otherwise. Hell, we're trying to put one in the Governor's office
out here! :-)

Doug,

The R.A.V.E. valve is on the exhaust side of the Rotax engines, the rotary
valve is on the intake side. Many of the Rotax mills are of a reed valve
design(still in conjunction with the RAVE), now, as are all of the
Suzukis(Arctic Cats), Yamahas, and Fujis(Polaris). I personally have had
very good experience with the rotary valved Rotax... good power and great
reliability. Seeing also that about 30 years ago, Bombardier bought all
remaining shares of Rotax they did not yet own, I doubt they will install
any different power in their vehicles.

Bulletproof? Right. Unfamiliar with Rotax marine engines.... I told
a friend that they seemed to make a pretty good engine for the
Experimental Aircraft market.

He bought the boat and within a year both engines were toast because
the engineers designed the carburetors to be (carbs?) cooled with raw
water.

Let's see.... zinc bearing metal and sea water.... whatta we got
here?

Nope. He doesn't use the term "bulletproof" to describe them.


I've had 6 Ski-Doo's all of course with the Rotax engine zero problem.
As far as RAVE goes, it must not be any good. Thats why the other
builders have copied it.

Sea-Doo had a problem with one of their 900 cc class engines in their
PWC's. Since fixed.

Bad mouthing Austrians could get you 'terminated'.

Icon called "Text Select Tool" looks like large capital letter "T" with
a dotted-line square. Or, press the "V" key on the keyboard. When
the mouse pointer changes from a hand to an I-beam, you have the
text cursor and can swipe, CTRL+C, or right-click and click 'copy.'

Feel free to repost the text, as some who can read this cannot read

I think that you got my posts confused with some others, as you just
agreed with what I said.
