Dream of getting out on the water and getting wet? Want to hit the waves hard and have the sea spraying behind you as you power past all other boats on your favourite stretch of water? Want a watercraft that you can enjoy just as much on your own as you can with your family and friends? Then perhaps you need to take a wet and wild ride on a Sea Doo.



Personal watercraft have been popular for a long time and their popularity only appears to be increasing. In the early days, these personal watercraft mostly took the form of single person, stand up jet skis. Today, larger sit down models built for two people or more are becoming increasingly popular. One of the biggest names in this extreme water sport is Sea Doo.

Sea Doo have an extensive range of personal watercraft to suit many different uses. At one end of the scale you have the massive 2-seater inter-cooled, supercharged 215 horsepower RXP designed for pure thrills and high speed riding. This rocket on water has a dry weight of 385 kilograms and is 307cm long, 120cm wide and 109cm high. It's got a fuel capacity of 60 litres and has Direct drive with forward, neutral and reverse transmission and electric VTS? (Variable Trim System) to keep you sitting pretty in the water.

If cruising in style and comfort is more your go, then the GTX 4-TEC Limited Supercharged model may be more what you're looking for. These were introduced in 2004 and came with a whole swag of extra goodies that you'd only expect to find on a boat. These extras include embroidered boat cover, depth gauge, removable integrated GPS*, storage tray, removable dry bag, cooler, sandbag anchor, mooring ropes, mobile phone case and mooring cleats. If you're buying a used one, make sure all these extra goodies are included! This Sea Doo is powered by a 185 horsepower engine and weighs in at 393kg and has a direct drive transmission with forward, neutral and reverse. It's 331cm long, 122cm wide and 113cm high.

In the Sea Doo recreational range is the GTI, GTI RFI and GTX 4 Tec Wakeboard edition. In the sports range, there is the very nimble XP DI, once dubbed "Watercraft of the century". This sporty number includes a lightweight body for superior handling and high speeds. Designed for one person, it has a 130 horsepower engine and weighs a light 272kg. It's 272cm long, 113cm wide and 91cm high.

So, whether you're looking for something to race around on solo, feeling the wind and sea spray hitting your face as you fly by everyone else on the harbour, or something that you can share those feelings of exhilaration with, then there may just be a Sea Doo to suit you.
