The Most DETAILED Review The 2024 Sea-Doo RXT-X 325: The Watercraft Journal, Ep. 137

No, the 325-horsepower 1630 ACE is not just a hopped up tune or a snazzy new supercharger. Rotax went bonkers and basically made a Stage 3 race-ready engine for the masses...and slapped it inside of its flagship RXT-X. Everything from the ECU to the carbon seal retainer is redesigned or rethought. We go over all of it HERE:

Just picked up a 2024 rxpx. Wow!! Did 5.6 hrs yesterday and she is ripping hard! The turning on this machine is incredible! The rough water stability is nothing like anything i have been on. You can be in rough water and turn at 60mph with confidence. After 3 hrs time it would hit 70 on speedo in under 5 seconds. Still only reving to 78-8 krpm but it was 90 degrees out.

I've heard a lot of people complain about the carbon seals in the shaft thru hull leaking. I wonder if that's been addressed.

The Watercraft Journal gives the single best detailed reviews out there. I live for your reviews. Just wish you would stand by them as they age...But great details though!

Mf Kevin. Now I need to upgrade my perfectly fine 2010 RXT-260X. Got an extra $20k I can borrow at 0% by chance?

Seriously - love this!

I've had my rxtx 300fpr 3 years fire red ! Unreal I get looks consistent when at the lakes! Sea doo color way is the reason I bought mine

[XF_Chaos]

Fantastic review as always, fantastic work on Sea-Doo's part, plus that intro scene with Kevin looking down into the storage bin killed me 😆

[JimmyMusignac]

As always you do Kevin Shaw, excellent review, thanks.

[RicSimpson]

you got me picking it up in the morning. Appreciate the review, thank you

[BenMoyes]

That sucks no idf.. it has saved me a few times already

[FatStrat]

Great review! And a fair assessment of the ST3 hull. First few rides in rough water or boat wakes will definitely tickle your ribs. Once you're used to it, not a problem for just hot rodding around.

Great review Kevin, just a couple small errors, you said the new rockers are cast, Rotax says they are forged, and you said 0-60 in the mid fours when it's reportedly 3.4.

I am kind of surprised that they didn't put the steering damper on this given the known problems with this hull and bow hunting. I would think it would make an even bigger difference on the RXT than it does on the RXP.

Thanks for the great review! Hope to get my hands on this beast one day

[gilberjj]

Great review. I like the positivity!
That thing looks like fun.

[midwestskiriders]

Thank you very much for this review. I'm really looking forward to 2024.

Really enjoyed the intro as well as the Overview!👍

[Gooddog]

Great show Kevin. I live in SW Florida looking forward to owning one here.

[Flybynight_]

Do you still need to install a "catch can: ?

First, did Kevin really just beach that brand new SeaDoo on those rocks to get some video?
Second, I may have a bit of (HP) envy, but here’s the question. 325HP+ New technology= New problems. Where is the weak link? Kevin explains very well ALL the areas that SeaDoo has improved the engine, but only time will tell ( many hours at high RPM ) where the weak link lies. It isn’t a matter of IF there is one, but when it get’s discovered. Then, is it an easy fix, or an expensive one.

Appreciate the review that is critical of certain aspects
