    Depends on how much you are lookin to invest in a new one...if you are gonna sink some cash in go ahead and get a newer one...if you are gonna end up with an older ski ...I'd fix the XP...

    Just for grins...
    how much you want out of it...what kind of shape is it in and do u have pics?

    Because they bore all their 800's 1 mm over, recut the head, and this makes it impossible to pipe/mod and be reliable. Their cranks are good...I'm running one myself now, but I'd buy a reman Rotax from a dealer if I were going to keep the ski. New sleeves, OEM 81.89 pistons, all new Rotax parts. Price is competitive too.
