Hope you find this one year review helpful! Overall we are very happy with our skis and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a jet ski. We are looking forward to sharing lots more adventures!

Spot on review! Have the same exact model, bought it used a month ago as a second unit (complementing our 2022 VX Limited). Love them both but my gosh, that 1.8L engine in the 2023 VX HO compared to the 1.0L in the 2022 VX Limited makes a BIG difference!

Thank you we love our skis too!

I have a 22 vx ho. love it. Im in S Florida where I and so many others have super slick 2000 on the bottom because it just started peeling out of the box and gently beaching is part of visiting all the islands. Also, I just did a vid on how I put the extra Yamaha under hood storage bag and soft cleat loops for fenders and dock lines like how you did with the baby rings but less intrusive under the hood. check it out!

Thanks for the feedback that makes sense where you live to have the super slick on the bottom. We would love to watch the video but weren’t able to find it. Can you please let us know your channel or send the link.

Why do you take the batteries out in the winter? Note: I have always used Battery Tenders. So this practice seems odd to me. But, I also have only owned Kwai’s & Sea Doo’s too. Previous lived in California where it seldom gets cold enough to freeze. Is this the reason? Thank you. Great video. Very informative. VX had features I was Not aware of.

[@KandGExcursions]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it! That is exactly the reason we take the batteries out. We live in Canada and the winters can get pretty cold.

Leaving a tender on for too long can start fures

[@scotthooper4170]

@@centralcal6604 Yes, I have heard that. I was not positive that it was true. But I do “Cycle” them. And they are pretty well ventilated in my heated garage. I “Test” (run) the generator. And run the quad & side by side so that they are not “On” more than two months with out being run. The Sea Doo of course just gets un plugged for a day or two and the battery gets tested with a fluke meter. Having used these methods at work has saved me grief, and the company has recognized my maintenance methods has produced a decrease in product failure. And increase in longevity. So, I must have been doing something right?

[@centralcal6604]

@scotthooper4170 for sure it's always good take precaution,I left a battery tending over night outside for about 6 hrs, and when I went to check on it in the morning the battery acid inside was bubbling,and the terminals looked Toasted.i felt like throwing the tender away and not using it anymore

For a naturally aspirated ski the VX can’t be beat getting 72 mph out of mine 0 issues sense purchased

[@KandGExcursions]

Wow 72mph that’s awesome! Greg only got 62mph hoping I might get higher this summer.

[@MikeLJ-ku7ov]

@@KandGExcursions stock mine would run 64 after installing a Riva stage 1 kit I got 72

[@KandGExcursions]

Yes that makes sense. That’s awesome!
