I am vice president of the WWU Waterski Team, and we're in a bit of a dilemma. Our 2001 PCM 5.7 is getting up there (Around 1500 Hours), and we are hoping to throw something newer in, post-2007 so that we could have the ability to practice with ZO. Firstly, we are trying to weigh some costs currently trying to find out if this would be even doable with our current budget. Has anyone done a similar swap in the past and if so, how much for labor and parts? From what I've read I'm assuming we'll need both a newer engine, as well as an electronic transmission. I'm also curious if the V-Drive in the Infinity would mess up any of this. We are willing to spend a solid chunk of money on this fix instead of a new boat, mostly due to the complications that arise from trying to sell this high-hour boat, and consequently having to buy a non-ZO boat, through the school. They are immensely incapable and we'd probably not be able to ski for a full year or so. Secondly, does anyone know anyone in the PNW trying to sell a 5.7 Excalibur Bob-tail? We are trying to have this done by next fall so that nationals prep is still feasible. With that in mind, are there any PNW boat mechanics in particular y'all would recommend? Thanks for any and all info!!!

Yep spring mountain is where they’re landing as of the west coast leadership conference in Vegas this last weekend. Shame none of the other closer lakes in the area are willing have them…
