How many of you have a SeaDoo RXP-X or RXT-X? I've had mine for about 9 months, thinking about modding it. It can go 80mph stock, I have a vid of me going 80mph several times: SeaDoo RXP-X 260: 3 - YouTube

So how many of you have an RXP-X or RXT-X and of those who do who has modded it? :bow1:

I have a pair of them. I am considering selling them because I have had to have the engines replaced multiple times. The supercharged models have problems if you try to pull a tuber or skier.

I had a red RXT-X and the thing sunk on me! Turns out it was a defect in the manufacturing...just traded that one in for the new RXT-X. I have 2 RXTs and 1 RXP, other than the red one sinking on me I've never had a problem. Deff won't be pulling someone with them anytime soon. Just bought a Yamaha superjet as well, much different ride than the SeaDoos but still fun.

Its all about balancing, the SuperJet is for you to either kneel or stand up so I can't even think about going over maybe 40. Still fun however.

I have an '09 FZR... haven't modded it too much yet. Not sure if I want to mess with reliability out on the water.

Yamaha biased though.

Killer vid! water looks awesome- and those Doo's are amazing. Great fit and finish BRP has- I've got a few Sleds that are really well built.

SeaDoo, in my opinion, builds the best Jet Skiis, can't argue with the looks either. The RXP-X looks like what a jet ski from Lamborghini would.

The yamahas different because its a stand up model, its lightweight and agile. we call those rxp things couches cause they're so big and heavy.

If i was going to get a couch i would get a 2 stroke kawasaki. Those Ultra 150's are no joke

Looks like alot of fun. Ive got 2 ski but they are older.

one is a 96 yamaha waveraider 700 and the other is a 94 yamaha waveraider 701. the 94 has the purple hull which is the last year they made the all fiberglass hull. Still does 55mph with me on it. Not bad for a 94

80 on the speedo is not 80 on the water. I have a modded FZR SHO Riva 2 and a heavily modded Ultra 150. A stock FZR is as fast as the Seadoo and faster out of the hole. I can top out at 78mph with all restrictions off, on flat lake water. The Ultra has buckshots, Brothers, Solas, and shreader will top out at 80.3 and will take the SHO through the whole range. With its light weight and small size it is still my favorite. Where the FZR shines is in the bumpy stuff, in the Ocean it is Boss. I had an Ultra 250, both the FZR and the Ultra were better in almost every way other then seat comfort. Raced both of my skis against many stock skis including my buddies RXP 215 and RXT260. With the SHO, up to about 60 it was somewhat close (within 2 boat lengths) after 60 the gap widened considerably. The Ultra, once it had "traction" it is game over. I have only lost once and it was to another modded Ultra 150.
