U.S.A. - On the heels of releasing its intercooled 215 hp supercharged two-passenger RXP, Sea-Doo plopped the engine into the new RXT for 2005. The three-passenger RXT exudes the same power and speed as its RXP brother. The RXT is based on the GTX hull and comes in two different color options - red and green. The two-passenger RXP, meanwhile, returns with minimal changes. It also will be available with red or green color options.
In addition to the RXT, Sea-Doo's new 3D, which was released last spring, gets a two new experiences for model year 2005. Besides the vert, moto and kart modes, the 3D also gets a knee mode and a Shoq that locks in the handlebars for the vert experience. The Shoq is a three-position adjustable strut and incorporates a damper that Sea-Doo officials said will help smooth the ride. Sea-Doo will also offer a base 3D PWC. It's basically a bare bones 3D and comes standard with the vert mode only. Other modes can be added, for an additional cost.
Across Sea-Doo's PWC lineup, all foot mats have been changed, and feature a new soft foam rubber.
Other returning Sea-Doo PWC include the GTX, GTX Limited, GTX Supercharged, GTI, GTI LE, GTI RFI and the newly named Wake edition. New color and other options adorn many of these PWC.
