The Watercraft Journal brings you its review of Sea-Doo's top-of-the-line, fully-equipped 2022 GTX Limited 300. Is this runabout the answer to every hope and wish that one could want for a PWC? Or does it leave much left to be desired? We detail all of that as we explore North Carolina's Outer Banks and retrace the steps of some of pirating's most famous outlaws.

This is the best review i saw so far on youtube. honest. "These are the pros, but wait there is the cons". Almost nobody does that, looks like they are paid to show only the good stuff. Altho id still buy one GTX Limited with my eyes closed, i would know what to expect, thanks to you. Keep doing this, we all thank you.

@@efthimios GTX handles just fine. It’s designed for comfort and multiple riders, but it is packed with a real punch when needed. RXT and RXP are designed for racing and single rider (especially true for RXP). GTX and RXT/RXP have different hulls.

This is the best PWC review I have ever seen. You answered so many questions I had about this model. Thanks for covering the negatives in detail as well. A Riva Intake Grate seemed to help my RXP-X handle rough ocean conditions much better. Perhaps it will make a big difference on this model as well. Now I want to do this same ride on the Outer Banks!

Kevin do you think BRP is going to add the steering damper off the Apex to the GTX next year and if so how much of a difference to its rough water manners do you think it will make?
@watercraftjournal
@watercraftjournal Год назад
Very good, observant question. It is VERY possible that we see it in future versions - maybe not next year. We'll continue to see this hull in use until 2027, so the dampener is likely incoming.

Funny, when riding Kawasaki and Yamaha high-end models, I always hated coming back home, (Normally in the wind) riding them vs. Sea-Doo hands down. I'm not a fan of the rough splash going 50+ they gave. Funny, I wonder what they get paid to say what the manufactures pay them too...Clearly Kawasaki so far pays the most! 😆 🤣 😂.The only reason We bought another Sea--Doo. It's such a much better made machine. Especially if you ride salt! However, I do agree that color is nothing shy of dangerous! It's the only for sale at the dealer right now. All others are sold out. FYI.

We were south of you at Topsail and rode up to Swansboro. We seem to always see dolphins in large numbers around Topsail. We idled for 45 minutes with what seemed like 40 or more last year. I am imagining an Ultra with the cupholders and gull wing storage pods but with that great GTX front storage accessibility also. That would be near perfect storage I do appreciate Sea Doo actually listening to your gripes and working to improve the flaws where they can.

Would the experience be better with a RXT-X given the sponsons are more designed around performance handling and less for leisure? I had a 2023 GTX 300 LTD ordered but decided a few days ago to switch it to a RXT-X 300 Triple black series. Originally I did it because for the last 3 yrs, Sea doo has given crap for colour options on the gtx 300 ltd. Although the 2023 silver/blue looks okay, it reminds me too much of my 2019 GTI 130 SE colour pattern. RXT-X doesn't come with the depth finder which is the only real missing feature, and since i'm getting the Garmin 72 sv fishfinder/gps I didn't need the depth finder anyways.
@watercraftjournal
@watercraftjournal Год назад
No. The factory sponsons on the RXT-X are equally useless. This channel has exhausted the topic of the ST3 hulls' problems, and explored all of the ways to fix it.
@mikemayoral7356
@mikemayoral7356 Год назад
Thanks for the reply. Yes I have seen lately the change in opinion around the ST3 hull. I say change in opinion because it seems to greatly differ from your 2020 GTX 300 LTD review calling the ST3 hull "innovative", "awesome top end water craft that has the performance to match its...", "ST3 hull revolutionized the design of PWC's...". Two years ago, you seemed very positive around the design of the GTX 300 LTD's ST3 hull. Curiously, what changed?

You made a very valid point about the Green color being hard to see.. Essentially making it Difficult for anybody to find you at sea. Something to consider. I am a former "swift water" rescue specialist. Never did any big open sea rescues, but I can attest that finding craft in water isn't always the easiest task. The colors these days look beautiful and subdued... But offer limited visibility . I'll personally take yellow, red, Kawi green and orange any day. Yellow being my favorite. And that ST3 hull... I'll personally never buy anything with it. A RU-vidr (amateur first time jet ski owner) just did a trip to Catalina Island on a Explorer Pro and boy did it beat him up! Lol. He was whooped.

Yes, I am certain. You have to be disconnected from power to use the BRP Audio without engaging the app. So you'll be wearing down your battery while listening to music - and that is of course, only if the music is directly downloaded to your phone or you have a solid signal to access your iCloud music catalog. Thankfully, BRP agrees with my review and has already taken huge leaps in improving the integration interface. Expect major advancements for PWC/phone integration in the coming years as it is perfected on the Ski-Doo models first.
