In this video - taken Summer 2022/23 - I do an everyday honest review of my new SEA-DOO RXP and compare it against my SEA-DOO RXT (both triple black). I talk candidly about the differences between the two skis, and share the riding experiences when breaking in the RXP, right from its first ride from dealership. Two great skis, that are very different.
I hope you enjoy my content and thanks for tuning in!
Hello everyone and welcome to my channel. Join me as I share my love for PWC's and nature. You will see content around me exploring the ocean/lakes/coasts of New Zealand (and hopefully abroad one day), combining the fun of a jet ski and the experience in nature - into hopefully something interesting via cinematography, photography. I might even throw in some reviews, stories. I am starting off as a newbie to all this, so you will see my knowledge and content improve over time. Join and learn with me!

Further RXP update. Had my first longish distance ride, probably a tanks worth. Riding in a tour group of 40 plus skis. Can absolutely confirm the RXP hull tracks so much better, with no handlebar management required. Straight over or through chop. I much prefer the hull over the ST3 at this point

@livinginwake Год назад

Been another 3 months riding the RXP. Have done a few long rides and filmed a lot off it. Love it. Just putting together a quick review video of the RXP now. Will release that soon

@livinginwake Год назад

Since filming, I have put another couple hours on the RXP. More confident in turns, bit faster. By no means am I a pro. But this ski gets better and better, the more I use it

@donaldwest9103 Год назад

Just found your channel. Like the video very much, particularly the drone shots. I have the GTX 230/2021 with the ST3 hull. Your observations were spot on. I have added the Riva Sponsons and Top Loader Intake Gate. They have helped immensely with the handling in rough water, and chop. Between that and many hours of riding I can almost always anticipate any adjustments I may have to make. Good luck with your new craft and to many wonderful days on the water. I'll have to go back and watch your previous posts. Greetings from Rhode Island/USA!

@livinginwake Год назад

Thanks Donald. Some of my other posts have a lot more/better drone footage. Might want to check out the launch control review video I’ve done too. Gtx 230 is a great ski. Is it the charcoal/tan brown one? I’ve heard the sponsons make a difference and I agree you learn to predict it. Certainly get used to it, but noticeable when you jump on another hull. Thanks for tuning in, Rhode Island must have some good rides nearby!

Since all new toys are allways great when they are new how do you personaly like the rxpx vs rxtx after having the new one now for while? Would you go back to the TX or are you happy with the PX? Im having a hard time to choose between both :)

@livinginwake Год назад

I’ve just come out of the break in. Had a rough spell of weather, but put a few hours on there now. I much prefer the RXP. Such a fun ski. Tracks better, turns better. Are you riding solo or having someone on back?

@user-ti1yt5hv9y Год назад

@@livinginwake thanks for your quick response,i would ride most of the time solo but here and there i would like to take a friend with me.Did you had achance to drive with a second person yet? I would mostly drive on a lake and a view times on the ocean.

@livinginwake Год назад

@@user-ti1yt5hv9y I’ve only ridden with passenger very briefly. It’s definitely not as stable for second person, getting on ski and at low speeds, the RXT is great for that. Was fine once up on plane. If you’re planning on riding 2up frequently, I’d go for the RXT. Bit more of a stable all rounder

@livinginwake Год назад

Thanks Mike :) yes it did, jet pilot have a few of them that come with it standard. Quite handy and saves a chest mount or similar

@IMiss_The90s Год назад

I mostly ride single. Rarely a 2nd. Never a 3rd. I like to play and have fun. I need speed. Lots of chop in this area and ocean waters. I'm taller as well (6'5) so if that plays into your answer to this question. Which would be best for me? They both look like winners to be honest.

@livinginwake Год назад

Probably one of the differences I like more on the RXT is the seating position. I’m not as tall as you, but 6’3, sit deeper on the RXT and seemed to be a bit more comfy

@barryschwingel8563 11 месяцев назад

High-class video! Would you say the P has a faster hole shot as compared to the T? Thanks

@livinginwake 11 месяцев назад

Thanks mate, I’d say the RXT felt a little faster off the line, maybe because of the flatter hull. But to be honest I’ve only been riding the RXP for about 8 months now, so I might just be used to it. I’ve got a good film coming up that will help decide

@barryschwingel8563 11 месяцев назад

@@livinginwake looking forward to video. I'm trying to decide what 325 to get next year. I currently have a 300 gtx and 230 gtr. I'm just trying to figure out what 325 would be the fastest in a drag race. I was assuming the P because it weighs less.

@JoshDK- 7 месяцев назад

For comfort level on a bad lower back is there a big difference between the rxp to the rxt? Muscle fatigue ect is there a difference between the 2 on a long ride day?

@livinginwake 7 месяцев назад

I have a bit of builders back, few discs play up from time to time. Feel your pain, and I have been conscious of comfort in that regard. I have done a couple of 200km plus rides on both. Rxt definitely soaks the bumps more, but I felt less on the lower back the next day on the RXP if I’m honest. Didn’t seem to slap up and down as much on that hull

@JoshDK- 7 месяцев назад

@@livinginwake good to know, thanks for your input, I’m on a Yamaha GP1800r at the moment and it’s killing me! It’s such a nimble and responsive ride but boy do you feel ever bump right to your bones!

@livinginwake 7 месяцев назад

@@JoshDK- no problem. I’ve only had one Yamaha before, vx deluxe. I found that to be much more harsh in chop, but tracked really well. In terms of the RXP in chop, I’d be probably going against the grain there. Most I read and hear says the rxt is more comfy. Guess it’s subjective

@Lego9215 Год назад

So I’ve owned from the original 2004 rxp to the new 2017 rxp x 300. Then upgraded to the 2019 rxt x 300 at the time the new rxp hadn’t come out but seadoo ha completely redesigned the haul and added speakers and that has been best ski I’ve owned launching out of the water takes heavy waves like butter and we also have the 2020 gtx limited 300. Now should I trade my rxt x 300 for the new apex 300 rxp since? But does the new 2023 rxp launch out of the water like the rxt

@livinginwake Год назад

Awesome! What was the original like? Mine have both been stock, aside from oil catch can. Didn’t notice much different between the two on take off to be honest. I haven’t had the Apex, but nearly pulled trigger on one. Aside from colours and the steering, not much different. Someone else that owns/rides the Apex could pitch in, but I’d say it probably doesn’t go any faster, just the steering dampening you’d notice

@JP-fx4ki Год назад

I have been saving for 4 years. Scared to pull the trigger on RXTX. Im in Florida, so the Fish Pro speaks to me, very loudly lol. With their locking system, can I add all of the features such as the cooler and rod holders but still have the power if I went with a RXTX? I just know if I get a Fish pro the 170hp wont be enough for me and Ill regret it. lol

@livinginwake Год назад

I know a couple of people that got the rxt and use for fishing. Have the cooler and attachments, same hull so stability still there when stopped. I haven’t had a fishpro, but if I remember correctly all fishpro models have a pre attached fish finder/nav unit, and other rod holder attachments, that the RXT doesn’t have. The trophy model has that swivel seat too. Depends on your preference. If it’s primarily fishing you’re doing, probably go fishpro. 170hp still gives a kick. If you are only doing say 20% of your riding fishing, id go RXT and kit it to fish when you need it. Nobody ever said I want less horsepower 🤷

@JP-fx4ki Год назад

@@livinginwake thanks for the reply and info! I imagine the rxt and rxp chug gas with ease that’s kind of another hang up for longer trips. Going to be my first one so trying to weigh all my options and see what would suit my wants best. Thank you for the video!

@@JP-fx4ki thanks for the feedback! Don’t discount the 300’s for fuel. If you chuck them in Eco and stay out of boost for long trips, not much difference to the 170 in my humble opinion

What are your goggles, how good are they and where do you get them

@livinginwake Год назад

They are made by SPY. Made for the snow, but work really well on the water. Comes with a low light reflective lens too. I find as long as you keep the smudges off the lens, they work well. Plus I feel like a jet pilot 😂

@@brettdahood1160 yeah I understand. To be fair I haven’t had a passenger for long periods on the back of the RXP, but the RXT was super stable and comfy for two. I’d say the RXT wins in that regard.
