Latest 2025 Sea-Doo FISHPRO Apex, 300 horsepower fishing weapon, full walk around with Andrew Hill

[@seadoolife-k2g]

Great job explaining the new Fish Pro Apex. You have made a few of the other tubers who are at that show and showing this new Fish Pro look elementary, I really enjoyed watching your explanation on this Sea Doo. Keep up the great work. Sea Doo is lucky to have someone like you.

[@jetskifishing]

@@seadoolife-k2g thank you, it’s always nice to hear viewers enjoy the detail I offer with my videos. I fortunately have had a lot to do with the Sea-Doo FISHPRO project and I am super passionate about the industry and products. I really appreciate you taking time to comment, I am always grateful to be working doing what I love with the people and Sea-Doo!

Cheers Simon, it’s looks awesome in person. I’ll message for you for a viewing once I have it ready in NZ 👍

[@TeddysOnlineSecrets]

I counted 7 rod holders. That’s awesome. Can’t wait to get one😊

[@jetskifishing]

@@TeddysOnlineSecrets yes 7 Rod holders 😀

[@bitcoinbeast]

So its a GTX 300 limited then. The dual battery is a good idea, but Id still side with the 170 as the super charger adds extra risk for dramas out at sea

[@jetskifishing]

@@bitcoinbeast hi, some owners love the thrill of going as fast as they can. I know many Sea-Doo fishermen who converted existing 230/260 and 300 horsepower skis with deck extensions, sounders and coolers so they could have their version of a high horsepower FISHPRO. The Apex is more featured than a GTX300 Limited, the FISHPRO Apex has many more unique features on it, it includes the Cooler with 7 Rod holders, 9” Sounder, Live well system, Anchor, Dual Battery System, configured fishing seat, plus swivel chair, footrests, trolling mode, windshield, heavy duty grab handle etc.

[@bitcoinbeast]

@@jetskifishing Fair play, I had a GTX 300 that I fished from but I sold it due to non stop supercharger and iDF issues, in the market for a 170 now. For me I want the reliability as fishing in the UK throughout the winter months is super unforgiving

[@jetskifishing]

@@bitcoinbeast I totally get your reasoning. Naturally aspirated economy and reliability is hard to beat! Some people just want to go as fast as you can and inshore fisherman, river and lake riders are going to have some serious fun on the Apex 😀

[@bitcoinbeast]

@@jetskifishing Good luck with the sales, a 74mph fishing ski is definately a weapon! ✌🏻

[@jetskifishing]

@@bitcoinbeast in New Zealand we often get a fish feeding frenzy with Dolphins, Birds and fish! On the nice flat days, hunting the workup activity would be super cool on the Apex at speed 😎

Lot of people saying good and bad about this and that. Me personally.... i love it. We always wanted a 300 for fun without the cooler but also to take fishing too so perfect for my family. Also you're a legend Andrew keep up the good work representing nz jet ski fishing.

[@jetskifishing]

@@shaneriseley7878 thanks Shane, you are so right, many giving their opinions on what was already requested by so many, a supercharged FISHPRO. Great to hear you like it the latest ski and I’m always grateful I got the opportunity to add my experience to Sea-Doo and represent NZ’s learnings.

[@gpaje]

Wow, the 170hp I thought was plenty fast, especially in sport, can't imagine what another 130 more hp will do. I like the Explorer additions of the Windshield and front bar.

[@jetskifishing]

@@gpaje you are so correct, 170 horsepower is great and now there is some serious acceleration with higher top end! Stretched arms no doubt at those supercharged speeds. The Windshield and heavy duty grab handle sure are a winner, thanks for watching!

Like the options on the new FishPro Apex. All except the 300HP, so not necessary. It’s all mute though, it’s too expensive, 30k minimum by the time it’s out the door! For that price I’d look for an entry level boat.

[@jetskifishing]

@@christopherc4814 it’s extremely feature rich and definitely going to be an exciting ski to get to and from the fishing grounds. The massive 300 horsepower won’t be for everyone, but being Limited Edition there will be enough demand and buyers throughout the world who want the best of the best of what’s available from Sea-Doo, I can’t wait to get mine out on the water. Thanks for watching, it’s pretty special for us to see how committed BRP are to fishing with four different options now available for anglers in the Sea-Doo range 👍

[@jetskifishing]

@@josephluedke4667 if you complete a full price comparison, feature for feature, you will see the Sea-Doo FISHPRO Apex has everything ready to go.The big difference with a ski is, it’s easier to prepare, faster to clean down, more fun/comfortable riding to and from your fishing spots, faster and more in touch with nature being amongst the action. If you ever get a chance to try jetskifishing, give it a go as you might be surprised and appreciate why 1000’s of people are taking up the sport over a boat.

[@paulhuval]

I really like all the features just wish it was not a limited edition and they could have one that came with the 170 or 230 hp. Do you have any idea of the fuel economy on that unit?

[@jetskifishing]

@@paulhuval Hi Paul, it will depend on sea state and how heavy you are on the throttle. On ECO mode it makes 33mph/53kph at 4800rpm, and by those stats should still have 120 + kilometres range… I will learn more once getting out on the water in its natural environment.

[@paulhuval]

@@jetskifishing thanks for the response 👍

[@Rockriverunter]

How shallow can it run?

[@jetskifishing]

@@Rockriverunter at idle it needs to be in knee deep of water… if you are to shallow you risk sucking up stray debris through the jet pump intake

Great white shark food

[@JamesDavis-cf4bb]

What is the range on this model?

[@jetskifishing]

@@JamesDavis-cf4bb I am yet to personally ride the FISHPRO Apex 300 on my New Zealand adventures. I should have some real life data in the coming months once I start using the Apex in my local conditions. In past experience while using supercharged skis, depending on riding speeds and conditions, I use to get 75-80% range of the naturally aspirated skis if not riding on open throttle.

[@Wilson02653]

I missed fuel capacity and estimated range

[@jetskifishing]

@@Wilson02653 fuel capacity on the main fuel tank is 70 litres, there is also an option to carry a second lot of fuel in a 15 litre fuel caddy on the rear deck LinQ attachments. Depending on how you ride and how much you are on the throttle, you could achieve up to approximately 140 km range as it has an eco mode and that will reduce performance and increase range.

[@bennym1956]

Starting at $24,499......... So you can go 50 mph while fishing, makes sense... And a $500 Jon boat can catch just as many fish !!! Here's your sign......

[@jetskifishing]

Some buyers are after the trill of adrenaline fuelled speed to and from their fishing spots. The FISHPRO Apex 300 will tick that box and has the necessary equipment already fitted to have them catching fish. Buyers have their idea of what they need for their fishing adventures and a FISHPRO will get them out on the water with minimal preparation and plenty of fun doing it.

[@Ras-wisdom]

The seat look likes it needs a new design with a more sealed weather proof looking clamp down design for engine safety incase you get flipped over because when you took it off it looks very cheaply made and a lower power fuel economy engine definitely needs to be a option!

[@jetskifishing]

@@Ras-wisdom I have been Jetskifishing for over 17 years now and the FISHPRO hull design would have the driest engine bay out of all the brands and models I have ridden 👍 it’s pretty well sealed, though I’m sure Sea-Doo will continue to improve and enhance the product in years to come. There is already other models in their fishing range that are more economical, they offer a 130 and 170 horsepower engine to for fishing :-)

[@Ras-wisdom]

@@jetskifishing the way the pilot seat looked like to me its very very easy to remove & i don't see any place in the opening of the engine bay where the seals below the seat meet to prevent water from entering the bay especially if the jet ski is over turned from a high wave or bad maneuver letting the seat coming off on its own!

[@jetskifishing]

@@Ras-wisdom the main seat has a heavy duty release clip at the back of the seat and decent rubber seals beneath it. I personally ride very aggressively off shore and I expect it could only be a rider error to actually completely overturn a FISHPRO as they are designed with a low centre of gravity… the FISHPRO Apex is the best of the best and no doubt out of the tens of thousands of people already enjoying this hull type, maybe somebody has encountered this experience you are concerned about.

[@Ras-wisdom]

@@jetskifishing we both got our own views but i still think all these jetski companies need do better on the seats and have at least three to four clamp down areas on the seat not just one in rear you stated thats why real rough sea riders have to always manually install seat straps on their jetski seats to prevent seats from popping off and flood the engine and sink it deeper making it harder to recover easily in the deeps!
