@Floatsorrolls1 i need to get it on the water again. Between work and this hurricane i haven't had time!

Hey, the new GTX 325 looks like a helluva ski! And the color this year is fantastic! One of the few I'm absolutely ecstatic with for the 2025 lineup. I mean I bought this ski because I was so disappointed with the RXPX and RXTX color schemes for 2025. Plus that screen on the GTX limit is absolutely mint! I added the catch can because that should always been your first mod for a supercharger Seadoo, as they recirculate the oil back into the system normally. I dont want that stuff gunking up my ski! They are notorious for blow by! I swapped out the blowoff valve because I feel like the stock one is woefully inadequate for the ski. It was puny and kind of cheap feeling plastic. I want high quality stuff on my ski. I went with the fizzle intercooler tubing and the the turbo smart blowoff valve.

Thank you sir! I need to get it back out on the water, but with these hurricanes and tropical storms hitting us! Thankfully last weekend I got a quick 30 minute ride on my buddies super jet in!

@@crane1bl yes. That's why I only got footage directly pointed at the hull.

Hey buddy!

@kayschildbach6282 get out there! It's so much fun!

@@ShItstick-dh7tl rain hurts at 70 mph!

@abysm6l yo in Michigan I'll go in the snow idc.

FIRST SKI AT 60?! THATS AWESOME! Dude, I hope to be out here in my 60s and beyond! You're badass! My grandpa was out waterskiing well into his 90s and he was a role model for me!

@@badm0t0rf1ng3r Thank you so much. I'm trying. I'll follow your granpa I hope. :)

@brucecampbell1838 so when you received them you should have had the full leaf pack and an extra add a leaf. The completed leaf as received is level 1. If you take apart and add the add a leaf above the 5th leaf that's option 3. If you replace the 5th leaf with the add a leaf that's option 2. If you're on option 1 and it still is too tall consider rpg extra length drop shackles. I believe they're 2 inch longer and should drop the truck 1 inch. I originally set mine at option 3, and it was far too tall. I'm talking 46+ inches at the same measurements spots. If you don't have a lot of weight it will be bouncier like an unloaded f250. It was terrible.

@@badm0t0rf1ng3r granted I put 207k miles on my factory setup and I have only changed my rear suspension to fox 3.0 and icon multi leaf spring. I plan to do my fronts next month with fox 3.0 as well but my back end sits 48 inches of the ground to bottom of fender. I hope changing my fronts will change those measurements.

@@brucecampbell1838 I would expect the stock ones to be saggy especially with that many miles but 48+ inches from arch to ground if on option 1 is insane. It will break in a bit, especially as you cycle the rear shackle and seat the leafs. If you don't start coming down quickly I would pull them as that can mess up your pinion angle and fry your pinion bearing. Thats 2 to 5k fix depending on how much damage it does.

@@brucecampbell1838 I also threw on geisers up front and it raised the front of the truck up about 3 quarters of an inch, but I'm looking at ICON Stage 3 before too long.

Thanks broski! Riding it down in the Keys sounds AMAZING. I definitely recommend sponsons, especially once you start getting up to speed. The boat loves to rock side to side at speed!

Yeah they swapped from 1500 to 160 in 2023, the rumor was that there was a higher horsepower stand up in the works... still nothing yet. I got these sponsons from pro watercraft. The factory sponsons lasted all of 1 ride! they're allow the boat to rock from side to side and its really unnerving.

@trabernathy1797 naw it's a buddies. I wish tho! It's a fun ski.

@@badm0t0rf1ng3r let’s ride

@@trabernathy1797 soon!

I too thought I wasn't falling until I fell. Until that point, I wasn't falling though. Thankfully enough, the front stayed on.

@billythephoenix yessir now all he wants is a rxtx

@@trabernathy1797 gotta be in Cape Canaveral for work. I'll probably ride in a few weeks.

Oh yeah dude I am starting to love going fast on this ski and learning it more and more. Ironically a rip on a 4stroke Superjet recently actually made me really appreciate this ski a whole lot more.

I plan on keeping the stock handle pole for the time being; I did just place an order for a R&D rapid steering plate, to go along with the Riva 4 degree bars as mentioned in the video. I plan on getting the WCOT ride plate as well, though I have looked at the TBM and PWC ride plate. I will do an air filter eventually, but I'm in no rush right now. I have a 93 tune flashed onto it right now, which definitely helps. I will check out the stuff you suggested as well, thank you for watching!

Yes, its over on the bayou.

@trabernathy1797 you can catch me at navy point or navy base ramp!

@billythephoenix honestly I barely opened it up just yet. I'm scared! I've done 60 once according to my GPS tracker but mostly I'm around low 40s.

@@trabernathy1797 Florida, but I ride all over the state.

Hell yeah it does!

@pitchpines3851 thank you! You too!

@@crane1bl it created a film that blocks the fluids. 10/10 would lather on.

@@atlasschrugged1264 he did well.

I'm going to be selling my 21 GTX Limited 300 with 2 year warranty left next month if your interested. I'm looking to get the new 325

I am looking at a 325 rxpx. I wonder if the 325 is coming to the gtx as well this year. We will see, the release announcement is in a few days now!

Yep! I'm learning that every time I go out. Go a bit faster, fall off, get better... repeat!

@@cmbmusicproductions1870 it's definitely one of the best!

The 22 was so good looking. The bronze accents were so dope. I had a deposit on the 22 but moved before the dealer received one... now that I think about it they never ended up getting 22 SXR. As you said, pacing and breaks is all about it. It is super enjoyable though and like weight lifting or other taxing activities sometimes you have to back off! But yeah I really enjoy it. I've been trying to ride weekly. Hard to do with my job!

@@badm0t0rf1ng3r i actually bought a 2018 ski in 22. The guy I bought it from had bought it NEW from a dealer in 21. After getting my local dealer to finally get what they needed to see the hours…the ski had 3 hrs on it in august of 22 when i bought it. Ive got about 25 hrs on it now. It’s a lot of fun and a good workout to ride!

Its a bit higher than the single axle (EC-2, I believe). Thats really not a problem but is also a bit dependent on the ramp. The ramp closest to me which I regularly use can get the bunks about 80 percent submerged without my tires touching water. The other ramp that I sometimes use is bit shallower of an angle so that larger vessels can use it, and I usually have my trucks tires just barely in the water. It rides VERY well and tracks like a dream. I ended up choosing this as the price difference was not enough to matter for me, and with my intentions taking the skis on road trips I felt like this was the easy choice. I was actually working on a longer walk around/review but I've been swamped lately. I'll try to push that in the next few weeks.

@@badm0t0rf1ng3rfantastic! Just what I needed to hear. I’m gonna get this one. Maybe with the surge brakes. Not sure if I will need it so that part is still in the air.

@John.blick313 I did not get brakes, may consider adding them in the future. Towed a larger and heavier boat on a double axle trailer that didn't have brakes and I just used tow haul mode in conjunction with my gear select without issue. Even with 2 full sized skis you shouldn't you should have any problems with a half ton truck like an F150.

@John.blick313 just posted a picture on my community page of the only picture I have at the main ramp with the bunks visible. It's deeper than I'd normally put it for retrieving a ski and my wheels are still out of the water.

@@badm0t0rf1ng3rjust saw it. Glad I came across your page 👍🏾👍🏾

GIVE HER THE BEANS!

I think everyone started there! I loved that game!

Head gasket failure. Engine made by land rover.

Fuel consumption is really good. I'm not sure about riding all day one one tank, but I think I ran this until the warning light came on and it was just over 3 and a half gallons to fill it after 4 or so hours on the water. Obviously running flat out for longer would increase your consumption. I ran on memorial day weekend for about 8 hours (on and off) and it wasn't until on the way back to the ramp that it low low. The sponsons are GREAT; they completely get rid of the side to side wobble that I did not like on my first ride. Does it scrub the top speed? I don't think so, however if it did scrub a mile or 2 that would be fine by me. I've hit top speed on this a few times and it scares me all the same.

@@badm0t0rf1ng3r Thank you so so much for taking the time to respond and make your videos brother!! Keep enjoying that beautiful machine out there on the water and God Bless!

@the_corporate_kid7763 I try my best to reply to all comments. I will, thank you and same!

The engine is a Kawasaki 1100 triple, from a ZXI 1100.

Thank you for the pointers! I liked the SXR very much and nearly picked one up in 2022 (the bronze accents were really good looking) but when I saw the red and grey color scheme I went out of my way to get a 2024.

I honestly was asking myself "did I make a mistake?". you're absolutely right the learning curve is steep, but super fun! I also got rid of the factory sponsons after the first ride. I went with Pro Watercraft sponsons as well and I really like them. I'm very happy with how it rides otherwise. I have a pole spring and a 4 degree bar on the shelf for future modifications. I did a long ride over Memorial Day weekend and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks for commenting. I definitely was dying after my first ride.

@@badm0t0rf1ng3r Yeah it can be disheartening. I felt defeated a few times but I keep going. As our weather has been so bad I have not had enough time riding so far. I will keep going as I think the rewards will be worth it. As i am 6'4 and about 300 lbs I think I am already at a deficit. This is my get back in shape mobile. My local lake is about 59 degrees right now so I am hoping it will warm up soon.

@R1Kyle if you could find a wetsuit for your build that could extent your riding season quite a bit. I was in florida and the water was still quite cold despite the weather being in the low 70s

@@badm0t0rf1ng3r I have one I wear. But I really do not mind the cold water as in Canada we just have to get used to it or stay home.

@R1Kyle oh heck yeah bud you riding on lake muskoka?

Certainly felt like it. When you squat down and pull back on the bars it goessss

We had the Blue Angels fly over and it was lovely.

I've been stupid busy but I'm working on more!

It's nice and there isn't much on that trailer on KZbin. Double axle was the pick since I plan on doing road trips.
