I have a lot of experience with PWC's. For that matter a lot of two stroke engines. I might guess that your sea doo is around a 99-early 2000 model year? I just saw one at a shop completely torn down and that customer decided to trade into another machine to avoid putting big money into repairs. Heres the tough part, why did the engine fail? There are many causes, most are not the dealers fault. That said, it could be a manufacturers flaw, and unless it is still under warranty, that is hard to get any help on. Or in other cases operator/owner error can cause the damage. Each case is different, but having been a service writer/mgr in the powersports industry in the past. I have seen a lot of blown up engines on jet skis. I know its no consolation, but you are not alone in this issue, many have faced it before and many will after you.
