Great review! I just put down a deposit on a 2018 rxtx and a 2018 GTX 155 (for the wife) and yes I got the sound system on both machines. I can definitely say this review helped persuade me to take a look at seadoo when I was initially leaning towards Yamaha. Once I saw this machine in person i instantly went gaga over it. Thanks for doing this!

What a fantastic video! You covered all the aspects of the ski that no one else has covered. My main concern was engine access for tuning and maintenance and you are the only one that covered it thoroughly. Definitely selling my older RXT and picking one of these up.

Good video! I just put a deposit on 2 of these 2018 RXT-X 300's !! can't wait to get out and explore the coves of Vancouver Island BC !!

What a top review! and a great ski, seadoo king of the pwc industry.

I love my RXT-X- 300 the way it launches out in that mode is awesome, only 15 hrs. on it but its great !!

Great, comprehensive video. Nicely done!

Great review - awesome ski

Now i want one!. Great in depth review.

This same video inspired me to jump of my 2010 rxp last year and upgrade to a 2018 rxtx same colour .. the ski wow.. kevin killed it with this one .

Good job Kevin, I enjoyed watching and learning. I'm a Seadoo'er at heart, just can't beat the dependability and fuel of the yamaha for now. I'll be glad to get back to the Seadoo, maybe this model will do it. I'll have to wait a year. I know never to purchase year one of a new model. I did that with a RXT in 2010. It had a lot of manufacturing issues.

Lol the best part of the video is reading Journals cheeky responses to viewer comments.

Love both our RXT-X 300s

Awesome Review !

Sounds like a great photography platform as well.

I rode one of these yesterday. I was quite excited to see the new version rxt x and what it can do. I must say I was pretty disappointed, my favourite ski for the past 2 years and still is the 2016 rxt x 300. S3 hull felt better, didn’t like the new dimensions , and my favourite feature on these ski’s are the ergo lock. I have never slipped out / off of a 2016 300 and I came of twice in the 2018 model in 15min. Torque felt less on the 2018 but in saying that it still clicked over very fast. Usually theirs the rear handlebar on the seat which is what I use to get back on the ski, the passenger handlebars don’t wrap around, they are on either side and nothing behind. And the leather strap on the seat is so far forward that I couldn’t reach it. I thought that was silly. All the storage features are fantastic but if I were to walk in to a dealer and by a brand new 3 seater. I’d be trying to get a 2016/17 300 rxt. Good luck guys.

Fantastic review! would love to see one on the 2018 GTX 155 Greetings from New Zealand

Please get rid of that noisy background music. It is so irritating and distracting when trying to listen to the commentary. The commentary on these videos is why we log in ... not to listen to music. If you really want to add in music ... do it when you are not talking or showing ride shots. Thanks you ... a good video otherwise.

I dream about buying one of these. Nice jetski

I have bought a new one in grey with the sound system. I got the first consumer one in Florida.

Ours just arrived at the dealer and it did intfact have cruise although we didn’t order it. Apparently it is standard.

Very nice review, best in KZfaq in my opinion. I have a question though, Why is it that I can't find any direct comparisons (hand to hand) between Yamaha and Sea Doo PWCs in the whole Internet?

Thanks man

Hey Kevin nice video. Question for you. I’m liking what they have done but have to question lowering the seat. I know skis years ago along with snowmobiles were lower and would pound your knees a lot more then the newer skis/sleds. Did you notice any discomfort from being lower or was there really no difference? Is the seat height comparable to to older seadoos?

Will the seperate top hatch move about and wobble around when we put our wieght on the handle bars especially when in the corners??

I am looking at getting a jet ski but I want to use it for fishing mostly in salt water. What is the best jet ski to use for salt water and why.

Great video. We bought this ski and the Yamaha FX cruiser a couple months ago brand new. On our first day out we noticed that turning to the left on the SeaDoo was wide and almost dangerous in that it took so long to make the turn. Turning to the right was on a dime. The dealer finally acknowledged the problem but is saying that BRP says that based on the photos they sent after dismanteling the hull it's normal yet when we watch the videos online clearly the machine can turn on a dime in both directions. It's now become a safety issue for us and we refuse to take it out on the water like this. Just checking if you ntoiced anything similar in your review. Can't say I'd recommend SeaDoo after having it tied up at the dealer for two weeks and no resolution.

How is the ST3 hull in choppy waves compared to the FX hull? Which is smoother?

Since you have ridden both the Sea Doo RTX-X 300 and Yamaha FXSVHO - Would you buy the RXT-X300 over the FX SVHO if you were looking for a PWC? I'm looking for the acceleration, towing wake boarders etc and overall great reliability.

What happens if u flip with the linx gas tank. Will it contaminate the water and get on your seadoo or will it just stay water tight and stay attached to the machine

Is the ST3 hull still fun. I am crossed between the GTI hull and ST3. I do all types of riding but when the wife and kids are not around I like to jump waves and wakes.Can you still do that with the ST3 hull?

Did it say "cruise" on the right button on the handle bar? Is it now standard on RXT as well ?

great, but pls let us listen to engine less music when riding it... I love how big the engine compartment is. overall, great video

Is the strap on the seat making anyone else's OCD go crazy?

ok do any of you guys tell us what oil to use???? I think the best to use is 5/50 weight oil Synthetic same as my Harley / liquid cooled 2017 Road Glide also same cooling liquid .. Please let me know if that oil is ok.

From the water up

Great review Kevin. Thanks for sharing! So you don’t have to lie to me, how is it really?? I have a few friends that maybe interested in the new RXT-X Billy D

Kevin RXT X or GTX 230 or 300? Whats your favorite. Also does Yamaha have anything you would consider equal to or better? I'm trying to decide what to buy. Thanks.

Im stuck between the gp1800 and this! I live in NY which would you prefer? Water is very ruff here

that intro though. LOL

I am a potential buyer. I am running into problems choosing one. I like the LinQ attachements and removial of rear seat. My comparison is stuck between the RXT 230 and the Luxury GTX. Which one is easiest to reboarding from water and which one can handle the waves better? Bigger question... between those two which one of those is built the best to last? Im looking to keeping this for 20 plus years.

from what hes saying ..a prop change and a good tune and youd be pushing 78-80 mph with 300+hp

only thing missing is some Yamaha's hounding you while making the video. Maybe next year? Looks like a great machine.

Never had jet ski, and want the performance machines. I was leaning towards the GP but now seeing this im kind of liking all the opps for sea doo performance machine.What do you recommend.

Anyone notice the seat is all smashed in at 2.17.. You can see the jetski is too small for him at 6.40. the seat isnt designed right.

Lowering it by 1 inch doesn't sound like alot. So its a waverunner.

Any idea on fuel economy. Would it last 3 to 4 hours on eco mode?

I'd buy one right now, but I'd rather have a boat for the same cost or a few more K's so what I am I missing here. Damn things are so expensive for a PWC.

what would you expect to pay for one of these 2018 models?

Can it handle waves up to 1 Meter height? I would buy it at my Allrounder

Good review bur Ill stick with my FX SVHO

Does it launch harder than an Ultra 310R or GP1800?

Sorry but I don't like the idea of the handlebars being mounted to the storage container lid ,so much lateral stress is placed on this area in hard turns,i sure hope sea doo did their homework here,i will stick with my 2008 RXT-X until all the creases have been ironed out with this new model .As usual its an awesome looking PWC from BRP though.

What's its full out top speed?

subbed

Does it come with cruise control?

If these things get any bigger ya might as well call them...boats.

I hope with all this innovation they decided to come up with a better shaft bushing than a carbon ring..

Any chance on the RXT 230 review??

very nice watercraft i love the new design , im owner rxt x 260 rs year 2011 and in my opinion there is two big problem in that new rxt : (1) the first one and biggest problem the handlerbar integrated to the trunk , fixed by two screws in the front simply screw without screw nut , and two plastic hangs right and left simply screws by three screws and without any screw nut !!!! so if on an old rxt 260 the screws of trunk go away , and need to add new in inox with screw nut , so what's about a 300 new generation more powerfull and with a handlebar integrated ! perfect to drive slowly on a lac , but to use it on waves do some jumps , or speed in sea or extrem drive in extrem situation waves wind ....... i think we will have some nice surprises ... (2) Second problem , after every launching ( salt sea ) we should wash it out and inside with clear water , right ? clean the engine and put lubricant ! My question is how to do it perfectly without take off the flatform ? that platform let a small space without any acces to the back and the most important place where to clean and do lubricant ! So we should everytime remove all the scraws and they are about 10 if isn't more . it's embarassing and with the time the salt ect remove reset remove rest they will deteriorate , the platfom will be badly fixed and the chairs too and it will infiltration ! why they doesn't done the same chair as the rxp .... Very sad that inginners doen't think about it , a beauty and powerfull machine as that rxt 300 and after all these years of experience with rxt 260 since 2010 with all the problems happened , i can't understand .....

Is sea-doo a reliable PWC

sold.......

Are the new seadoos really as unreliable as people say? Thats the only reason I won’t buy one. I’m looking for something fast comfortable great handling and great maneuvering, I’m will to do some extra maintenance

Top speed?

Be ready to paddle!!! ill keep my gp1800

I had to FF past the part where your host wasn't on mic

Thats no ski. Thats a boat

Only for the price of a new car!

They keep making it harder and harder to fill my ski in the garage with cans. Balancing a can while on a ladder is getting old

Background music is way too loud

How do I get your job

Don't get me wrong it's a nice machine but ... a tow pillion isn't useful on a 2 seater ski ... in NJ you need an operator, spotter, and a spot for the person being towed ...

So they just used the old idea from old seadoo that had 2 parts seats. And they calling it new lol

It is just like the 2004 GTX that I have 2 or of them and they rock....... just don't have the cool click in plastic devices...... come on .......

review is great, but music on the back its very annoying, rather listen what you say, sound could be nice at beginning and end

ONLY A EXTRA $700... lmao hell nah

Sko poo add obviously. Yami gp 1800 kicks its ass.

Definitely not the best runabout performance wise but fir sure for any use

Kept waiting for some numbers. Weight, length, gas capacity, top speed etc. Pretty basic stuff, tween that the muzak, annoying.

Wow.... Here's a question for all you Sea Doo owners... How are you supposed to repair the hull/deck cosmetically? The reason I ask is because it's NOT GELCOAT!! It's ACRYLIC!! So who do you call for custom color matched Acrylic BRP?? Good luck with that!!!

Cameraman should shoot the features when they’re being referred to. Painful to watch at times. Still have no idea what the gas cap splash guard actually looks like. Wth!

I wouldn’t buy one after it being like Black Friday trying to buy a 16000 sea doo? No thanks

Seadoo doesn’t stand by their warranty I’d steer clear. They do everything to avoid having to cover anything and I’ve experienced it first hand myself, I didn’t believe my friends at first now I see why every single one of my buddies went with Yamaha instead. Seadoo is pretty shady!

Just picked up two 2019s, this machine is so wicked. Check my channel out for a video of it!

My god, it's ugly... nice review though!

SUGGESTION: THE NEXT TIME YOU VIDEO DIFFERENT FEATURES OF THE SEADOO, FOCUS THE CAMERA ACTUALLY ON THE FEATURES YOU’RE DESCRIBING.. THANK YOU

Yamaha fxho is better.

@ 11.56 what a joke. they need to design something a bit more fitting and comfortable. stop with all these gimmicks.

Buy a Boat instead

My stock 2004 has that much performance and more; come on Seadoo you can do better than that..... from a customer standpoint........

Remove the background music!!!! Impossible to concentrate on the commentary with that music. Really annoying!!

Music SUCKS

JUST STOP, PLEASE, JUST STOP

cut the fucking music
