I already went to their website and looked at all the years and models of WaterCraft. i would have to use a Pre-95 driveshaft because after 95 they stared using the new style carbon ring seals. Therewere several different driveshaft part #'s for different years and models. I will try to call them tomorrow and hope one of them knows what shafts might work. I'm sure if they are like any of the dealers we have around here, all they want to tdo is look up the particular year of boat you have and say they dont know what else will fit. There are a couple salvage places i may call too and give them my dimentions on my shafts and see if they have anything that matches.

Kevin if you ever happen to take out your driveshafts again you might measure the length and how many splines it has for future records. I think i read you have a 96 or 98 challenger, maybe your could be the same as mine except for yours only had one groove. I wonder what the differance is between 1 or 3 groove shafts are? I think they all use the same Carbon ring setup.

I have a 98 sportster 1800 and Im going to do this to my boat. I had already bought the carriers and just read i cant use my 3 groove shafts. Does anyone know what shafts I can use and maybe a part #? Are all the shafts different lenghts? Spline counts? There are a lot of Drive shafts on ebay for cheap but I need to know what to order. I know you can have them welded but I'd rather keep them orginal.

Thanks for any help.
