Rotax supercharged 215hp rocket....

damn was that thing scary/fast....I mostly ride (when i get a chance to) recreational, not muscle jetskis and this thing was definatly like nothing ive ever experienced before....i flew out of it twice while pulling crazy turns at really stupid speeds...but then learned to tame the beast a little better....

really...no other word for it.....goes 0-60 like its powered by a warp drive with plenty of room for more.... turns like nothing ive ever been on before ... just a very very very impressive machine

I've been trying to purchase one for a few weeks now. The Texas dealers won't budge on the price and I refuse to pay more than the rest of the country. Hopefully, they'll continue being stubborn and I'll save myself $11K.

I would love to ride one! I wish there was a closer lake where I could use one - maybe I'll just keep it in the pool

Your missing out for sure. I'v rode my friends yamahas but never rode a sea-doo. I hear they dont hold up well in saltwater.

Is there any mods available for these? (not like you need any from the review)

they completely SUCK in saltwater. we've had like 4 and they all break down quick. sea doo more fun but yamaha def. more reliable.

My uncle and boss have 3 rxt's (the three seaters). I am going out next week on them, the last jet-ski i rode was the kawasaki 1100 3 seater back in like 99/2000 or something. That thing hit 60mph, these things are nuts.

My favourite will always be the sea doo XP Limited Edition. When i was a teenager i lusted after that thing for years. I might pick one up next year.

I raced PWC for years on the Busch Tour in the Pro-Mod class. I ran w/ Jeff Jacobs and Chris Fischetti, etc.. every weekend. I had the very first Kawa 750 SX in compatition. I had various Stand Ups since that was my thing such as the Super Jet as well.

I had one SD XP as my play around sit down. Since I ride only in the ocean and specialize in Big Wave jumping, that Sea Doo was crap. I had a little Yama Wave Raider which we dubbed the Tub boat cuz it towed various SD's in every day. At one point I had FOUR Sea Doo tied to me as I pulled them home thru the Palm Beach Inlet. That would have been a great advertisising shot lol.

there are cosmetic mods (handles, seats, gripping materials etc) available for skis but I am not sure about performance mods. I mean....Im sure race skis are tuned but I am not versed in the field at all
