I was just wondering if anyone has every taken an XLT and swapped it out for a twin cylinder? I rebuilt my XLT last season and was thinking if i have problems again I might just swap the triple for a twin.

Many are now switching to WC engines instead.

Don`t know about the actual change but I`ve got one w/ a rotax in it.

Water Craft engines = more hp per cc.
Triple in particular.
Many bolt on hp gains.

any idea of places a person could look for some used watercraft engines? and how do they match up with everything such as the motor mounts and clutching.
