checking interest, I have a VERY low mileage 1200 watercraft polaris based triple I would say under 500 miles on original build

ported crankcase
SLP ported VES cyls
FALICON crank
union bay head with 13.4:1 domes
ultra ignition/650 waterpump
union bay mag housing
can do either keihin D slide carbs or 48mm lectrons with powerjets
no pipes

250 hp all day long this motor is a strong runner I just dont need 3 of these motors!!!

looking for 3500 with the Keihin carbs 4000 with the lectrons

The cat triple is for a buddy of mine i was gunna help put together hes trying to find a chassis to put it in first. As for this motor i have 3 of these motors and they are awesome to say the least but even i cant justify having this many.

The lecteons are probably easier to tune mainly because you dont have to remove them from the motor everything is external but tbey dont have the ability to really fine tune them because your limited to the taper of the needle but i have never had a problem whatsoever with them other than the long throttle pull on a long days ride. For a 48mm carb its very snappy on the bottom since these motors make so much tq.

The d slides work very well and i have a set of triple rackslides on my other motor which i would build agin but some chassis setuos wont allow the rack setup due to the steering post passing between the carbs.

Ahhh,,the old steering post glitch. Just put the post over the engine seems hard but literally every engine I've seen in what ever chassis can run the post over the engine.. Some time in the near future I would be interested in the rack setup.

Somebody buy this thing so I can stop thinking about it. :face-icon-small-dis I had a buddy buy an 800 twin from mattymac last fall, it was everything he said it was and and he was great to deal with. I wouldn't think twice about buying from him again.
