Seadoo Spark Trixx vs Gti 130 vs Rxt 230 (Which jetski to get?) 

Glad it was helpful! Good luck on your future purchase

Appreciate the kind words!!

Glad to help!

Glad I could help!!

Appreciate it. Glad it was helpful! You gonna pick one up soon? summer is coming fast haha

Yeah I just caved in and ordered the front storage bin so I'm going to install it when it comes in. The trixx definitely gets people's attention especially with how easily it comes out of the water.

Thank you dude

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks dude!

Thank you so much, that 100th like looks good!! That sucks that you got to wait for the trailer because of covid. I feel your pain though, my dry dock for the marina is on back order still because the factory had closed down because of covid. I recommend a nice wet suit so you can ride in the water even when it's cold because this thing is a blast.

Glad I could help

What do you recommend for a beginner?

Can you pull a tube behind a Trix tho?

Matthew Kern I was gonna ask the same thing

Matthew Kern probably doesn’t go that fast with a tube tbh

yes, most states require a 3up legally though because you need a spotter on there as well. But it definitely can tow watersports no problem

Good choice! Yeah I can't lie, I wish I had the 2020 and would of loved to upgrade for the speakers on the gti.

just buy a JBL charge or flip 4 model, they fit nicely on the ski handle bars with a Velcro strap. Much cheaper alternative with great sound, waterproof and Bluetooth :)

Any time! Thank you

No problem!

Right on! The old XP'S look like a great pwc. Unfortunately, I'm pretty far away from the great lakes

Glad I can help, hope you're having a blast this summer.

Thank you dude. You can actually tow rather efficiently on all three if the spark is a 3up variant. The gti is capable of towing water sports very well.

Shred Shack great video. Do you know what the towing capability like on the 3 up trixx? Does it have the ability to pull a skier with a driver and spotter?

@@ShredShack what’s a 3 up variant?

He did mention it has the ability to tow something.

I was looking at the Trixx 2 up vs 3up and was wondering if the 3 up takes the sportiness out of it because I would want to be able to bring friends but if the extra length and weight takes out the fun then I would probably get the 2up so since you have both does it take away the sportiness?

@@sixfootpool4624 to be honest, I went into the purchase of the Trixx originally for just one "off the wall" fun machine to go with my RXT-X, and ended up using my Trixx so much, that I needed another one for my friends to use cause I tended to use it over my rxt-x... which isn't as maneuverable as the trixx is... so less fun for others that just want to have a good time. I went with the 2Up first, cause I felt it was the most sporty of the two. When I searched for a second one, because of the scarcity of Seadoos last year, I couldn't buy another 2UP and found a great deal on a 3UP with only 10 hours on it.... so I scooped it up. There is literally no difference between the two when it comes to anything but boarding. The 3UP is easier to board. If I had to do it over again, I'd get two 3UPs. :) Hope this helps! I've never been more excited for the summer... and it's cause of my Trixxs.

Thanks dude!

Sooo don’t flip it?

@Race Card I know that’s why I put a question mark obviously ur gonna flip a ski

@@knuclebros3335 I just flipped mine with my phone in the center console and it had some moister in it. Just put it in a ziplock bag and then into the center console and it’s water proof

Mines fine. If I wanna okay I take stuff out. Difficult concept I understand

Let's not forget the longer and more stable 3up; he has the 2up which is quite a bit smaller.,

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you, thank you. The trailer width is 96 inches wheel to wheel at widest point, one of the more narrow trailers for larger jet skis. There is a slight overhang on each side, maybe 1 to 2 inches on each side. If you get two sparks, they do make narrower trailers cause there smaller and lighter.

Love see some maintenance vids.

@@timshull59 Thank you dude, I appreciate the support. That's one aspect that I have to get better at and learn myself. Paying to winterize cost a ton last season.

@@ShredShack I didn't even winterize mine last year, i didn't know about the anti freeze throughout flush port?.. I live in western Oregon so only dips below freezing a little at night.Nothing like what you get... I will this next year for sure!

Glad it was helpful!

Great choice. I was slightly disappointed that the gti got completely redone the year after I got mine lol 😂. I think it’s great to have the option of both the trixx and gti

Thanks dude, not the best scenery up here but gotta make due haha

Oh no! Hopefully they get some in stock soon so you can pick one up, there a blast

Thanks dude

Shred Shack Hey quick question do you have any suggestions for a hoist? I just got a 2009 gti 130 and i’m looking for hoists. Any brands that stick out to you? There is a craft lander at a marina near me, but not sure if it’s any good.

@@boltgaming7510 Not entirely sure, sorry. I don't have a hoist, never really needed one. What are you trying to do with the hoist?

Shred Shack I’m planning to put the ski into a lake so I need a hoist for the dock at the house.

@@boltgaming7510 Oh gotcha, I trailer mine for now, but it's going to be on a dry dock at a marina soon.

The rxpx is a great machine for what it is. I didn't mention it, but the rxt 230 has also been recalled twice but it's been running fine since it has been fixed. The trixx is a great machine, but just know it is a different style of riding than the rxpx. You won't be dissapointed either way once you get on the water, hopefully soon!

Should've bought a Yamaha

yea the storage on the spark is just not good. It all depends on your riding style as far as gti vs spark

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks ✌️

This was at lake zoar which is in Oxford/Southbury area

I can't disagree with that haha

I ride almost exclusively in the ocean. I enjoy it, but it can be uncomfortable at times trying to keep up with the larger pwcs that cut through the waves easier. I love my trixx though

Can't go wrong with that choice if it suits you, it's a comfortable and fast pwc

Yeah we have the same seadoo covers with zippers but I'm not a huge fan of trailering with the cover on

Again, I am new to this, will you recommend the gti or spark? Thank you!

To your first question, generally rolling over the jet ski doesn't cause damage. I have rolled it twice upside with no issues so far. I prefer my spark trixx over my gti but it depends, the trixx is a rougher ride, smaller gas tank, smaller machine, less stable, but more playful. They do the same speed so it is basically it is a choice whether you want comfort and stability in the gti or sacrifice some of that for the playfulness of the trixx.

Shred Shack thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I appreciate the support dude. The trixx is a 2 up. If you have any other questions, just let me know.

You should try the the fast lane off-road channel for reviews too

@@MarlonAndGabriela I second this. They put out good information, especially early on in regards to pwc reviews.

Shred Shack 100%. By the way. I’m out at Lake Powell currently. Ever heard of it? Rented a seadoo just like yours (GTi) and man that thing has some power.

@@MarlonAndGabriela Not to familiar with it but the name of the lake sounds familiar. Yea the Gti is fun man, it's great to just get out there on the water.

All 3 of them have close to a 100 hours and no issues so far aside from preventative issues like not tightening the battery. All three are running well.

You won't be disappointed if you get one. The Gti also has a plastic hull and I've had no issues with either cracking so far. But if you beat on the hull or jump it a lot long enough, there's definitely a chance it can crack but I've seen them take a lot of abuse and survive as well. The spark can ride in chop, but your body will definitely feel it, it won't be smooth like a larger jet ski.

Shred Shack thank you the prompt and very in depth reply my man. I will be getting the spark for sure thanks to you. Going to put about $5k down then just pay it off in under a year. If you don’t mind me asking did you pay cash for the spark trixx if not what’s your payment? Thanks again and enjoy those toys!

Marlon Antone I had bought a 2up trailer with it but the trixx was about 7700 out the door and I pay 225 a month for 36 months.

Shred Shack you’re a life saver bro I appreciate the info be safe out there with this covid19 stuff

Jay Cantrell Thank you. I have not tried towing with the trixx cause mine is a 2 up and towing laws require 3 up where I’m from. It’s definitely capable with a 3 up, plenty of speed and acceleration.

I see people tow with 2/3 ups all day

@@Long_Island_Justin people do a lot of illegal things :) especially on small lakes. I have pulled with small skis, the spark can certainly do it, just wont go too fast but most tubes top speed is rated around 20-25 mph anyways.

I have a spark 3 up and it tows great.

@@gbaran7991 All sparks are the same hull so it should be fine with all trims. Plus even with the 60hp tune, the motor will have enough power to tow. Most tow tubes are limited to 20 mph top speed. We have a guy with a regular 2 up and the 90 hp model, tows a 2 person tube all day long and ski doesnt even seem to struggle pulling it.

I also spent some days on candlewood, good spot. Wasn't able to demo, just watched some videos and then bought them

I would lean towards the Rxt-x if it is good condition. You will probably have to rebuild the supercharger, but it is going to be a much faster machine

@@ShredShack looks great not a scratch on it. rebuild super charter at 100hrs right? or your saying sooner?

@@tylermoore6440 check the manual for that particular model, it could be 100 or 200 hours, but it's also recommended to be done after 2 years

Ltwcii-x triton trailer, I love the trailer much better than the single karavan I had prior. I’m glad the video was helpful

For the same price, that is a heck of a deal. You're going to love that Gtx 230

@@ShredShack Lucky we bought last year. Might get a second one next year.

@@ShredShack And yeah, we are enjoying the heck out of it. Great ski.

It is definitely a fun pwc and you'll enjoy it and so will your bank account

@@ShredShack I'm a big guy 6'1 300lbs so hopefully I'll like it getting two of them ahahaha

Truu that. I didn't really get into accessories because you can add stuff to all models but the trixx can be customized a lot.

You could pull a tuber or skier but I’m not sure about wake boards. Hope this helps!

you can wakeboard behind it, but some states require 3ups to tow because they require a spotter

If you got Facebook, I recommend joining Seadoo spark riders group. There's a fair bit of Canadian riders that may know of some deals around you. For where I'm from, prices on new jet skis are rather consistent, just sometimes they run promotions where you get an extended warranty or a rebate visa card. I got a $250.00 rebate card from BRP and a 3 year warranty when I bought mine in February.

Shred Shack alright thanks for the input

I bought one last year. You won't be disappointed! I also got the 3 year warranty as a deal.

We actually made a video doing a wheelie on the rxt but it required 3 people lol. You can definitely get air but you’re going to need a decent wake or wave. You can still do slides and whips as well. Just not as nimble and light as the trixx

Shred Shack okay thank you

Yea I was debating on putting the storage bin on, but at the moment I don't want to drill any holes into the trixx and I've read some stories about the bin coming out when riding from other people. It would defintely add a bunch of storage if I added it though.

Shred Shack we have storage bins on both of our sparks no problems

Thank you

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to try it out. I'm still afraid of keeping it in there without a watertight box or bag though because we do tend to flip over the jet ski at times.

Shred Shack Yeah. I would keep mine in my zippered pocket but i feel like it would be safer in another jet ski. I also don't like how it's not waterproof. I feel like it really should be at least waterproof and a little bit more spacious. Thanks for not attacking me in the comments like other youtubers would have done 😂

@@VectorEcho21 of course bro, you were providing information I didn't try yet so I appreciate it. And yeah I leave my keys and phone in the other jet ski we bring out, much easier for me.

Shred Shack I just rode it today around 6:30 pm. I was trying to stand it up but i could only do that for about 5 seconds then it would come back down. Any tips?

Vector Echo you have the trixx right? Put the trim all the way up and it should come right up. Then just be easy on the throttle and balance

I prefer my spark trixx over the gti because it does the water wheelies and jumps out of the water easier. If you're going to be mostly boat riding, I'd probably opt for the spark trixx since the gti feels like a boat

Are you buying from a dealer? My dealer set up the bunks for me so I’m not completely sure on spacing set up

Shred Shack no not buying from a dealer . But have the same hull as 230
