My new toy has...only 255hp?
 

I bought another jet ski this weekend.

2008 Sea Doo RXT-X (-x = race ski...minimal electronics, custom seat for more aggressive riding style, fully adjustable handlebars, finger throttle, etc).

The other important detail - 255 hp, supercharged and intercooled 1.5 liter 3 cylinder. There's a video on youtube of this ski beating an F430 to 50 mph. 0-50 comes in under 3 seconds.

Tried out Turtle Wax's black box stuff on the hull. Came out pretty good.

Can't see the pics at work but congrats! Sounds like it would be a lot of fun. I think my old 1300 Kawasaki had around 140hp and I thought that thing was fast.

VERY NICE!

Do you race them?

JW :D

Thanks! Yeah, safe to say it hauls ass.

Only in impromptu races, nothing official. No speed limits on the bay so I can say that I only participate in street races with my jet ski :lol:. I have friends with skis that do 80+ and beat Cigarette style boats in races.

it puts out more power than your camaro :lol:

Almost :mrgreen:. Not only is it faster than the vert but it's also probably quicker to 50 or 60 mph than 95% of NJFBOA 8-)

Sounds like a call-out. :)

That thing is ****in nasty. Definitely gunna go, fast.

we were discussin these on FB. ill be right over with my dremel!

Is that HP at the rear bucket?

At the motor.

Pretty sick, good luck with it.

Very nice, Congrats!

My boat has 40 hp! :lol:

And you rarely even use all 40 horses! I want to try and play with the Jersey Outlaws next race...:twisted:
