Sea-Doo GTX-230. TOP SPEED Testing Results.

[@donaldwest9103]

Nice video. Fun! I have my Riva Sponsons on Hole#4 (moved up from three and noticed a big difference in turning, handling and tracking right away.) I also have the Intake Grate. My top speed on perfectly flat-water last week on Narragansett Bay (Rhode Island) was 63.7 mph. Garmin GPS recorded. Have never broke 65. GTX 230/2021. That trip out to Catalina sounds awesome. Good luck.

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Thanks for sharing! My first ride on my own sponsons. Wow! RIVA intake grate is next. I installed the RIVA catch can and RIVA throttle control, and IBR control levers too. Thanks for chiming in! Good old Rhode Island. I’m originally from New Hampshire.

First time viewer love content and the jokes man keep at it. I’m picking up the 2024 GTX 230 next week, slight upgrade from my 2014 GTR 215.

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Hey there! Welcome to the channel! Absolutely love, my GTX 230! I also upgraded from a 2020 GTI -170 Thank you and enjoy your new ride! By the way, what state are you in?

[@WeekendersontheWater]

Great Video! That ski moves!

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Yes it does! Love it! Thank you

[@dennissorokin3872]

Ayeee we tuning in!

[@TheOceansideGuy]

YES!

[@GWSunday65]

I have the same Riva sponsons and grate for my 2018 Wake Pro. The sponsons, all the way down, slipped out significantly worse that stock in medium chop, over several day runs. It was fun though, but I never have glass or light chop so giving those up. The grate does load better so keeping it.

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I guess different skis different experiences.

[@chefgarrin]

Curious about the intake grate, do you have a video on that yet?

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Yes. The link to that video is in the description. Easy install.

[@TheOceansideGuy]

yes with the ST3 hull on the GTX is a deeper “V” shape. Not all Sea-Doos have the deep “V” hull.

[@GWSunday65]

On a very very light chop lake Poulard in LA, my boat easily pulled 68 and I have video of bumping 69 up and down. Well that was 60 hrs ago anyway, now in Texas so not sure, can’t find the same conditions

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Wow, very nice.

[@ronnieballard7930]

That was Swell!

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Ha ha!

[@ARI.P1989]

Hey buddy so whats setting are you on the sponsons have you tried diffrent settings?

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Middle setting. (Neutral) not yet tried other settings. Soon and very soon there will be testing done with the sponsons in the highest and the lowest settings. If you’ve been following my channel for sometime, my friend PJ and I have the same ski and the same sponsons. So we will be doing some comparisons with the different settings.

[@LukeTPZ]

What are your glasses/goggles, please?

[@TheOceansideGuy]

HeatWave Glasses. I have had several. The pair in this video you watched are my favorite. Here’s a link to the first time I have these sunglasses. My Sea-Doo GTX-230 IT JUST HAPPENED! I had to unveil the NEW RIDDING GASSES! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpTJfWR9n9x9ptk

slow.. my ski doing 91 with a stage 1 yamaha GP 1800 supercharged

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Wow! Very cool

[@DennisSwanson517]

Omg wow 🙄 you and about 10,000 other skis that are out there. Trust when it’s said your Yamaha ain’t special.

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Right

[@michaelgiddens3313]

​@DennisSwanson517 it's alright till the clutch fails prone on the gp1800r

[@drsnow5123]

The 230 seems disappointing. I would think it would do much better than that. Not worth much more that the 170.

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Not bad. I enjoy it. The 300 will hit 70MPH But I’m not after tons of speed. But enjoy the 230 for sure.

Not sure what you mean?

[@ParrotHead1980]

whats interesting is the 2024 yamaha GP1900R HO non-supercharged ski hits 65 mph stock. The yamaha FX 1.9 HO hits 63 mph stock. Both yamaha's are 200hp the seadoo is supercharged with 230hp. Hmmmmmm 🤔 kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2Swap2BaLZ_is0

Yes. That is interesting

[@ParrotHead1980]

@@TheOceansideGuy How do you like your seadoo?

[@TheOceansideGuy]

I like my Sea-Doo a lot. So much fun.

[@ParrotHead1980]

@@TheOceansideGuy I will say the seadoo's ride real smooth, even on chop.
