    Eh oh!

    My rxp x blew up this weekend. I had gotten water in the engine 2 summers ago. The ski has had trouble starting ever since then. Ive read several threads on here where skis have had the same issues. Well... anyways im prolly gonna need a new motor. Any opinions on what direction i should go. Ive talked to several shops and they have all said they use sbt engines.

    Most likely threw a rod. Go back with OEM block and parts.

    no way on the sbt, customer just brought me an sbt engine in pieces and it looks like a boat anchor. Terrible workmanship.

    Just talked to ses engines. They seemed knowledgable about the engines. From their website it looks like they do great work and use good parts. Anyone have any experience with them?
