I’m more Impressed that speedo works those clots are a hit or miss on working too it’s getting to the age they end up breaking inside

[@norcal8718]

Somebody just gave me one of those things but I haven't had it on the water yet, how fast should I expect this thing to go?

[@GCEXTREMEMN]

95 GTX with a 657x engine..maybe 40 mph. Its close 80hp, and a 96 GTI, same hull, with a 717 85hp does about 42-45mph.

Hello, i plan on picking one up today he sent me videos of it starting with a yamaha battery but what battery cca or type does the seadoo 95 gtx need?

[@GCEXTREMEMN]

Should be a 16L. Like ETX16L. Any good sealed agm style battery. The 16 is the size rating and the L means Left, the ground negative post is on the Left side. If you get an ETX16 then the negative post will be on the Right side and your cables wont reach, you need a 16L.

​@@GCEXTREMEMNsounds good thank you, what cca rating do you think will work for this one?

[@GCEXTREMEMN]

@@AliAhmed-lh2uw i think 330 or 350 is typical

Where did you get the purple foot foam looking stuff I have exact same ski and my floor boards are just fiberglass

[@GCEXTREMEMN]

hydroturf or blacktip mats. available at watercraftsuperstore.com

Looking at a 95 now just like this. What you think I don’t need nothing fancy we are looking to get one just to cruise and cool off when we are already out on our pontoon boat. You think these will pull a tube and what speed was you getting out there?

[@GCEXTREMEMN]

Yes it will pull a tube no problem. The speedometer isn't really accurate on these. The 657X motor has about 80hp. Probably an average close to 40mph.

[@ss454gm]

Good deal I found a nice 2 owner one here locally and thinking about getting it just to mess around with. But of coarse I’d like to have a newer supercharged one but I’m cheap

[@GCEXTREMEMN]

My 96 GTI, same hull, with the 717cc 85hp engine will do 43-45mph by my gps. So the 95gtx with 5hp less should be just a little slower than that.

[@GCEXTREMEMN]

@@ss454gm if u have kids/teenagers, its a good ski for them to learn on, simple maintenance, fast enough but not super dangerous fast, and pretty stable not tippy at all.

[@ss454gm]

Yea got a 6 year old so she just be riding with someone. We mostly hang out on the pontoon but thought if I could find a reasonable jet ski but nice to just jump on and go cool off and play a littke
