13b in a Jetski? Hmm...

Have a fun idea... I have a 1996 Polaris SLT 700 3 seater jetski, that has something wrong with the motor, no time to mess with it to find out lately.. But I'm thinking.. with how small a 13b is, do you think it would be possible to stuff one into this jetski? Wonder how possible this can be...

I doubt in a jet ski maybe in a small boat...its not just the motor you will also need all that goes along with a motor.

Puerto rico LOVES Rotaries. Theres always big races between rotaries and 1.8 corollas ( Engines). In the most unexpected cars. If you go to PR you can see pretty much 90% of the cars in the streets have mods. turbo, nitrous, etc ... you name it. Its just in our blood.
