Fx140 HO vs MR-1 160 HP HO

Afternoon All,

I unfortunately detonated my engine in my 2006 ar230 ho. This has the 160 hp high output models. To rebuild it is alot of work and money so I think that the best route would be a donor jetski. I lined one up and the owner mis-identified the engine as it turned out to be a non HO motor.

Does anyone know of a list of potential donor jet skis? I see that there are fx140 ho's out there (2004). Will this match? Or should I stay 2005 and later on the Ho motors?

Any advice is much appreciated.
