MORE SPEED * Sea-Doo RXT-X 300 Riva SCOM Install vs Yamaha FX Limited SVHO in a Drag Race

[@hines862009]

Seadoo's are overtuned out of the box (3 cyl). Way more performance left on the Yamaha SVHO which is why all the racing circuits are 90+% yami's.

[@LR-my2di]

Very true. The RXTX requires min. 93 octane while (stock) the Yami needs only 87.

[@jjs8046]

Some people do care about the looks and features of their toys - hence they chose Sea Doo.

[@jackhandy213]

JJ S too funny... considering the FX SVHO looks so completely bad ass sitting next to the rather mundane doo doos.

Putting a PWC in reverse does nothing to clear a jammed impeller because the impeller spins in the same direction at all times, the bucket on the back is what changes the water flow. Sometimes if you're really lucky and you shut the engine off it will release whatever is jamming the intake grate due to the release of suction against the grate.

[@robertrutherford9057]

Damn , that's freaking awesome. Last time I was on a jetski 55 was about all you could get with a prop and tune. 73 mph, holy crap. That's a workout better than a gym

Sounds like ~1995. My '95 Wave Raider was the fastest stock "ski" back then at an honest 57.

Having been into "skis" since '95, I've seen nearly everything. Tired of all the b.s. claims, too. Everything is claimed to "provide awesome ..." this and that. Ha! Brooks' videos on the subject are by far better than the others who make these "ski" videos just to sell you parts. As usual with D.T., just the facts with no agenda. BTW, for the parts claimed on both skis, this "drag race" was spot on.

What’s the point of it?

[@mogulpro]

FYI, reverse doesnt change the direction of the way the prop spins to blow it out the front... it only spins 1 way... reverse is done be changing the water flow direction out the back.

[@Buccafurno]

The new sea-doo have a reverse option to change direction of rotation of the impeller to blow it out.

[@mogulpro]

Anthony Buccafurno the iDF is not for generating directed thrust it is for pushing out weeds... it only stays on for 12 seconds at very low RPM and you have to shut off machine before and after its use. Normal “reverse” is a bucket that pushes water flow ... 👍

[@cmcconn100]

I've got '19 FX Cruiser SVHO so this was interesting to watch. Most skis on the water I effortlessly blow-by. The only thing that's been quicker has been a GP1800R and he was about 1 MPH faster top end. I've been curious how I would stack up against a 300 HP Seadoo. Today's skis really are a blast and a performance bargain.

Not really there is a lot you can do to the seadoo’s little 3 cylinder from a aluminum intake to bigger wheels on the supercharger the can make over 20lbs of boost on the seadoo’s. They are all really close but Yamaha definitely can take a little more abuse that the seadoo.

Putting it in reverse doesn't blow it out.. the impeller is always going the same direction.

@The Insufferable Tool The new 2021 GP1800R is now better in chop than the new 2021 RXT X300. Better handling and cornering and let's not forget Yamaha owns seadoo in the P1 Aqua X racing circuit.

Dude, im very surprised you dont have a Yamaha as well (Yamaha once was the engine in the older McLaren), and are the premium and reliable brand.. The Yamaha's have a larger engine, with an additional cylinder than the seadoo and are de-tuned from the factory.. Actually I think stock is only about 7psi and they can accept a lot more power than Seadoo before failure. Riva Stage 3 (17psi) kit will do a click under 90MPH (Rivas has a 24psi kit for yamaha, imagine that). but Seadoo Stage 3 + kit is closer to 85mph. You should get a GP1800r svho (about 60lbs lighter than your buddies FX svho, and 80lbs lighter than a RXP-x). Yamaha FTW
