I need a jet boat engine

[trvman]

Any idea where I might be able to find an engine for a 1998 SeaRayder jet boat? I know it is a Mercury 175hp V6. I have been offered the boat for free but there is no engine in it, The jet drive is there but there is nothing else. So I would need EVERYTHING with the engine to make the boat run. I want to see if this is even worth doing. I believe it may be a 4.3L Chevy block.

So if you can help me out that would be great.

Nope, its just a regular V6 Mercury engine. You can buy a reman engine from Mercury ready to drop in and run if you wanted to go that way.

its a regular mercury engine off of an outboard. and its a 2 stroke. Your better off finding a wrecked boat that still has the complete power plant in it. alot of the major boat manufactors made these small boats with the merc sport-jet in them, bayliner jazz, sea ray- searaider, and there are more. don't buy that chevy 4.3, it wont work, not even close
