Waterbox Autopsy & RXP-X Hull Walkthrough - The Watercraft Journal IRL

[@williamellingsworth1643]

Love that ski as your background. That color looks nice. My kid calls it the Takis ski because the colors look like a Takis chips bag. Those grips they’ve put in the front to help pull your ski up on the beach look like they’d come in handy.

Takis-Doo! It's SPICY!

Guy who knows his jet ski good video and you can lean a lot and save your money

[@watercraftjournal]

Thank you!

[@jasontarnutzer8278]

regarding the waterbox you cut open. doesnt the exit flute length have to do with scavenging the water out? if it was cut was shorter would water still get out of the box??? just curious....

[@watercraftjournal]

Yes, Jason. You're correct. I misspoke. -K

[@alcacha]

You are exactly right. This guy is a moron.

[@gulfcoastjetskis]

You should come to the Cap Coral area and ride

[@watercraftjournal]

Maybe!

Hi, I have a 2021 GTR 230 . Really just after a cool sounding exhaust note, and if that brings along a little more performance I’ll take that to , what would you recommend. Thanks 😊

[@watercraftjournal]

RIVA has a Free Flow exhaust tube that'll work great. Quality couplings too.

[@Briandswinford]

I did a free flow on a 2016 vxr, the drone was horrible, I went back to stock after the first day out. My ears rang for days after. Full throttle was great, idle was great, everything else was the worst experience ever. So would a through hull exhaust drone?

[@watercraftjournal]

Worse, and kill your resale value.

[@Briandswinford]

@@watercraftjournal good to know , thanks for the info.

[@appletonlawncarelandscape2172]

Kevin random off topic question but what is the correct amp/volt battery for a 2019 gtx?

[@appletonlawncarelandscape2172]

So any of those 3 work? Thank U for responding

[@watercraftjournal]

Look at them closer and decide which you really need.

Hi Has anyone done back to back testing with a standard water box compared to a open modified water box ?

[@watercraftjournal]

Probably. Who knows?

[@thesepeoplearecriminals1731]

@@watercraftjournal I have a 300x that I gutted the baffles because the filter got jammed in there. But it gives me a headache

[@Breakitjake]

Hey Kevin want to send me that waterbox? I have an FZR that I make all diy go fast parts for

[@watercraftjournal]

Sorry bud, it's already claimed.

[@Breakitjake]

@@watercraftjournal i bet it is. Can you do a hull video on a GP?

[@watercraftjournal]

We already have, just not from beneath like this past one.

[@alcacha]

DO NOT CUT YOUR WATERBOX OPEN AND REDUCE THE LENGTH OF THE DOWN TUBE!!!! This is a big mistake and he shouldn't have given bad advice before trying it out on his own ski.

[@watercraftjournal]

Yes, you are correct. The waterbox NEEDS the full length down tube. We issued a retraction shortly afterwards.
