Always interested in your reviews. Informative and thorough. You really do have a great job.

Thank you for this. Very well produced- and excellent info (we are in the final decision stage on features. This was fantastic- and GREATLY appreaciated.

Thank you for adding the stability test ! I always wanted to know how stable they are but no one ever checks

Love the videos Im looking to buy a SeaDoo soon going to use your videos for information. Thank you!

I am 56 yrs old and I will get my 1st PWC in the spring. And it will be this one. I must say, Your videos are OUTSTANDING. I love your spirit, you make GREAT points and I trust your opinion. GREAT job buddy!

Pretty sure Steve has the best job at tfl.

Thanks for this, I'm currently finalizing my purchase of a 2020 GTI and was really torn / I'm buying the 130!

My wife and I just bought a blue 130. We love it and the cooler is a great addition too. Ran out and bought that right away. I had a '93 GTX and this is the first Sea Doo I but since then. Sorry I waited so long, but this is a fantastic machine!

I love these videos. I’m buying a seadoo spark trixx next March can’t wait!

Great review as always Steve! Man PWCs are so fun. Sadly I’m in MN so I have like 3 days to use them before we are in a blizzard the rest of the time

Just ordered a GTI 170, I had a modified RXT for years, but my son is a teenager and it scared me, I think the 170 should strike the right balance. As another commenter posted, a side-by-side acceleration test would be really helpful to see the actual difference between both skis... either way, 130 or 170 - both amazing fun rides for sure Also, I don't trust the spedo on the Seadoo, I always use a GPS to validate speed, that spedo is off by at least +5% in my experience

Hi Steve, my girlfriend and I really appreciate your video, we both bought the 130 today. can't wait to put these babies in the water

Awesome video brother, super helpful but also just entertaining 👏🏼

I have a 2015 155 and love it. Great overview of the 2020s. You have a sub from me.

I love your honesty and clear POV. Thank you!!!

Nice reviews & try test all the models in mpg and put a chart up will fuel capacity also and max travel distance!

We love your reviews!! Keep up great stuff

Amazing explanation!!!!i just bought 130 SE 2021 .i washed your videos 7 mouths ago and i remember what you said. MY WIFE AND I LOVE THOSE MACHINES.

We had no choice but get the 130 because all the dealers are sold out of everything!!! Looks like it might not be a bad thing. Thanks for the video. Cant wait to get it.

Hi Steve any chance of doing a comparison and review of the Seadoo GTX 170 and 230 model, there's very little to none around especially on the 2020 GTX models. Also many people carry eskies and equpiment on the rear it would be great see a comparison with the above having abit weight on the back of seadoo too, especially when it comes launching. It be of interest please.

The difference between my 155hp and 215hp was ridiculous. I would never buy a low HP jet ski, acceleration is way more important than cruising or top speed. The most fun is jumping waves, and you need instant torque for that. It’s why I go with naturally aspirated instead of supercharged . Kawasaki 160x does it all.

Great video! Nice attention to detail.

Great video man. Only suggestion I’ll point out is that it might be better to notice (at least for us) the 20% diff if you compare both models at the same time on the screen, maybe with a drone and another buddy riding the other one? Anyways, keep up that good work!

love that you guys are doing pwc reviews ! can we get into some bayliner boats and that type of thing too

Really good review. Thanks man

Hey bro I love your vids and I love the info!!! So I have been trying to find a jet ski that is really fast and stable and overall great and I was wondering if you had any suggestions or if you have one for sale. I also don’t need it to be REALLY EXPENSIVE. Thanks dude!

Great video, would love one on the gtx 230

Seeing these videos make me glad I still own my 96 hx, they will never be made the same again

He nailed it at the end. The point is to be in the water and enjoy it no matter what your ride is.

Great review! Thanks!

I think it's crap when manufacturers limit the horsepower by detuning the ecu just to get you to spend more for a higher model. I can understand if they charge more for a bigger engine, a supercharger or a bigger jet pump. But charging more just for the tune is pure baloney!

Love your video & thanks for the info👍

Excellent review!

I have a 2016 GTI SE 130, it looks identical to your old Sea-Doo, and I'm very satisfied with the power and speed. My thought was that the 130 would end up being more reliable long-term because the engine isn't working at max capacity. As far as speed, if you are coming from an older ski (or you are used to riding in a boat), it will be plenty powerful, especially in Sport mode.

It's really weird to see a 130 HP only achieve that top speed. My 2 stroke 1998 GTX ran an honest 54MPH at high altitude lakes, ( the slowest recorded) and upper 60's at sea level. This was tried & true using other professional ski boats speed input for accuracy. Thanks for the videos, enjoy them!

Great video; very informative. 👍

Here in Brazil the 150 is Green turquoise and the 170 is the orange one 2020 model. My wife love the turquoise but I think I’m going for the 170 orange one. Nice review tho

I'm a big dude myself, would you choose the GTI over the Kawasaki STX 160X? Just the obvious power increase in the Kawasaki for a bigger person sounds more appealing. This is mainly for typical lake use. Thanks for your input!

My uncle saw this video and bought a 170 because of you thanks

Txs for nice review. Looking to buy the 2021 170 version. Can you do waterski or pull a balloon ? What do you need to buy as accessories ?

Great video detail!👍🏿

Do you still have your old GTI? How many hours on it. How’s it running now? Anything you want to share about it? Would you consider an update on the ski as you have ridden it? With some dos & don’t. And or maybe some must haves.

On the old 155 and 130, the 130 had a different cam and injectors. I wonder if the same is true on the 1600cc engine and it’s not just a different ecu tune.

Hi sir. Can you do review on 2020 sea doo GTX 170. Thank you

Hey Steve, what's the difference between GTI to GTI SE?

Would the 130hp be enough to get out of my marina inlet with some incoming rough waves? Or is it worthy to go for the 170hp? I don't care very much for top speed, i'm more a safety fan, thanks.

Thx for sharing this. In your option would you go with the 170 wake or the GTX 170 ST3 hull?

I had a quick question. I am contemplating between two new PWC and would like to see your opinion between the two. The two I have narrowed it down to are the Sea-doo GTX 170 or the Yamaha FX Cruiser HO. I value handling, comfort, and acceleration the most. I ride in light chop often and occasionally moderate chop or wake jumping. Would love to hear your opinion.

What would you recommend: Seadoo gti 170 se 2021 or Yamaha vx cruiser ho 2021 for salt and rough water use only (sea, ocean) Many thanks

My 1998 Tigershark 1000 does 51 MPH at 5,000 ft. built 22 years ago all stock, well used. Has real glass covered gauges, speed, tach, fuel, trim still look perfect. Oh, paid $175.00 for it.

Great review... thank you for this. My local dealer only displays the 170 in the showroom but they do have the 130 as well. How did you get access to these models to review them? None of my local dealers offer test drives on the water. With so many different SeaDoo models and engines how are we supposed to make a buying decision without actual test rides on the water?

Hi mate im from aus can you do a comparison review with the gtr230 vs the gtx230 comparing top speed, handling, srability 0-60 time, storage, technology, accessories,hull comparieson

Just got a 2021 gti se 130 Price has gone up $12200 ski $799 dealers fee $1400 trailer $3500 extended warranty (3years) $1000 3life jackets, accessories, linQ gas tank We have a 7 years old so 130 works for 3 of us very well

Thanks for the in depth review. What are your thoughts on towing? I don't think these models are suited for adults wakeboarding, but I was thinking more along the lines of a float tube of some sort.

Hey Buddy, Love your videos. I’m about to get a 2019 GTI 130 but I’m concerned about the carbon seal and Seadoo reliability in general. What are your thoughts. Have you had to do the carbon seal on yours yet ?

Thinking about buying awake. 80% of the time dragging two or three teenage boys on a flotation device. Is it worth getting the big one to be able to haul two or three at a time?

Can either the 130 or 170 pull a skier or wakeboarder? Is it legal w/o a 3rd seat ? If not, is there a light-weight Seadoo (with the plastic hull), that can pull a skier [I have a lightweight aluminum trailer, so I'd rather stick with low weight]

Great video

Despite the difference in top speed and everything else in between (the bells and whistles), what I find a bit sweeter is my model jet ski model. The elder 10' or 11' GTI SE 130 can hit 61 to 64 mph. It obviously doesn't have sport or eco mode but the acceleration is pretty intense. While cruising in the 60's mph is very good for a water craft and years of use..it seems kinda slow compared to the newer skis that top between 65 to 78. *Don't get me wrong those are very nice skis that has/have all the latest features and I do like that a lot. My only downfall is the lighter engines inside that's 130 or 170 hp.

Dude .. you have the best job on Earth lol

I’m ready to sell my 2017 RXT 260 and get the Limited 300 because who ever said they don’t want more power

It's not how fast it is, it's how quick it gets there. People shouldn't get hung up on top end speed because it's how quickly it gets to that top speed is what matters. Even if they both had the exact same top speed, one gets to that top speed a lot sooner than the other, and that's a big part of the fun factor when your riding one.

It's an $1,800 difference between the 2, about 5 mph and a 40 hp difference. Very minimal difference in price so you might as well go for the 170. It really would come down to color preference really. I'm 6'1, 230 lbs and I can stand on 1 running board with full weight on my 14 GTI so the new hull makes no difference in weight ratio.

What would be the fuel amount used differ,,yes i know driving styles will change things but just all around

thanks man... ill definitely buy the 130...

If you're spending that kind of money and those are the only two color choices, I'd spend the $600. I think the blue is a much "richer" looking machine. You don't gain much in performance, but you will get most of the price difference back at resale.

Maybe it’s just me but being in a boat always feels WAY faster than your really going. 50mph feels like 80 to me lol. I’m sure the slowest jet ski would be plenty fast for this old land lover 👍🏼 Fastest I went was 70mph in uncles nitro bass boat with 200hp mercury. I thought I was going to die!

Good info next time can you show wich one its best for pulling a tube. 👍🍺🍺🍺

Great info..😊

Advice needed: GTI 170 SE or GTX 170 STD?

hey man great video however when you did the top speed run on the 130 your vts/ trim was all the way down meaning the machine couldn't plane off the water all the way when i rode a 130 with the trim/ vts up I hit 58

Would love to see a compare between the gti 90 vs 130 Great video.

“If you put a hole in this thing you just replace the entire hull” Wtf? How is that a good thing?

Family planning on getting a seadoo and it will be three of us riding on it at same time. I am 180 and she is 110 and our child is 45 pounds. Which would be better?

Can you do a video comparing the Yamaha Superjet and the Kawasaki SX-R?

I put deposit on the 130 about month ago and hoping to get it at end of august but said probably won’t be in until September . They said it’s gonna be marked as 2021 bc so late in season.

How much does a hull replacement cost?

I would get the 130 and flash the firmware to the 170, if it's possible.

Great video Steve! However .... I bought a 230 last Summer , and every single time I hold her flat out , I’m curious “could have purchased 70HP more 😂” ...

As someone whos parents own both, the 170 is worth the extra money. Power makes a massive difference and the sound system is stellar!

Where does a big guy get a pfd that cover belly (comes down to waistline) and doesn't sit jammed above belly.

Would 2017 be the same as the 2015 you owned? Or where they changed?

Should I upgrade from a 2019 130 gti to a 2022 gti se 170?

I think the extra hp would mean more when you add 2 riders and gear. But ya, unless your racing top speed with your buddies, the smaller would be great to go play.

I have a brand new 2020 Gti 170. Tilts to the left a lot

Can you tune the 130 for the extra 40 HP?

Thanks for the info can you make a comparison on the seadoo 170 2022 vs the 2022 Yamaha Waverunner . 👍🍺🍺🍺🇺🇲

you do a good job. thank you

do these have the debris free filtering system?

Why do you try and make it sound like replacing the entire hull is better than patching some glass? Am I missing something?

Do they both have a audio system?

Wondering what to buy 130 gti or trixx 90 as first jet ski

When you are doing a top speed run always put the vts up all the way but never do that on a spark trixx

Does anyone know if these engines are used in other Seadoo models?

Would a 2018 gtx 230 have the same seats?

I get sea-doo notifications from tfl and it's -5C outside in Toronto. How about some winter camping/ winter offroad truck videos instead?

Hi Estev question I’m in the dilemma to buy new Jetske‘s which do you guys recommend more Yamaha or seadoo

6:05 lol i thought that caméra felt

Nice, I'll get one this 👍🏼😜🙏🏼

hopefully i can have the money to buy the gti 130 in a year ! seems perfect for enjoy ride travel economy and price !!!
