Who has one and which one is the best? I am thinking about getting a supercharged Sea Doo. My cousin has one and that thing has 500hrs and not a single problem. Post some pics if you got em.

my family has had 6 sea doos through out the years starting in 92 im pretty sure. we now have a 02 xp and a 02 gtx they both have 70+ hours or so since we are always out skiing they arent ridden much. but they are pretty fun. sea doo is the only way to go the others feel like your on a boat hardly get wet are heavy and hard to whip around. the yamahas are nice for towing skiers or what ever you want to tow, but again they are heavy and not nearly as much fun to ride.
Seadoo is the best period...I just sold my 04 RXP for 5500 bucks with a two place trailer and had it since new. You can get a ton of hours out of the motors just take care of it. And like someone else said make sure you put the metal washers in the supercharger before the ceramics blow apart. The rxp or rxp-x are the fastest, most stable pwc out there.

Just got an RXT and an RXP they are so much fun! We had a few days of nice weather so we took them out for a rip around the lake. Only have about 4 hours seat time on them but they are one sweet ride!

Keep it coming guys. I will be using mine down at the beach so alot of salt water. I have been told that sea doo is the best for salt water do to the special coming system that they use so no salt water gets into the engine. Has anyone heard of this?

The seadoo Rxp and Rxt's are good in the ocean b/c they are intercooled (they use antifreeze like cars). The only thing the saltwater see's pumped through the jet drive not the motor like most boats and jet skis that are water cooled.
I used to have a gp 1200 they will flip around on a dime, they are light and really fun.. when they run right. 3 carbs and two stroke ment they were fast, but tempermental when they were not perfectly tuned. Also you have to worry about two stroke oil, and they are veryyy loud. Just some food for thought

I found a 2007 GTX Sea Doo with 65hrs for $5900. It is mint condition. Anyone ever rode one of these?

my 05 seadoo gtx NA went through an engine at 220 hours. then a pump.
my kawasaki is nowhere as nice to ride. but i think will last longer.
something about a 1500cc 3 cylinder at 7000 rpm doesnt seems as reliable down the road as say a 1200, or 1500cc 4 cylinder.
