It comes with a removable rear seat cowling, which, when fitted, improves a single rider’s seating position. The seating position is comfortable and enables you to control the ski at all speeds. The buttons to change the readouts are simple to get at with one hand, so you can still hold on securely when underway. Sit on the RXP and the console, with its 16-function info centre (digital) and an analog speedometer and tachometer are at your fingertips. As far as colour goes the RXP’s topsides are either metallic apple green, or yellow. The RXP is a little more than 3m in length and 1.2m wide and, combined with her semivee fibreglass reinforced hull, is very stable at rest ‘ the rider can easily stand on one side of the RXP and it won’t tilt overly ‘ and extremely manoeuvrable at speed. Simply fit a standard garden hose to the flush attachment, start the motor and you’re finished in a matter of minutes. It is also easy to clean out the engine once you have finished for the day. But, as with all PWCs, it is easiest to steer when you maintain some forward movement. The RXP also comes standard with the Off Power Assisted Steering, which helps control the vessel without power to the jet. Reverse is achieved by lowering a cover over the jet nozzle, which changes the direction of the water, forcing it backwards to create forward thrust. The direct-drive transmission gives only forward and neutral. So much so in fact, that if you aren’t holding on tight when you hit the tit, you will probably be thrown off the back. Regardless of your preferred choice of fuel, this PWC has blinding acceleration. She takes regular unleaded fuel, but can be filled with premium blend, which will enhance her performance even more. Being a four-stroke, this is a relatively quiet beast, which belies the 215 horses this PWC has pushing its little more than 350kg dry weight. The RXP is a two-seater PWC powered by a supercharged four-stroke, three-cylinder Rotax, SOHC, intercooled engine. Its RXP model is a product that will appeal to those who love the exhilaration that comes from riding a PWC at speed. SeaDoo is at the forefront of these changes and is one of the most forward-thinking companies in the market. They certainly make a mockery of Premier Bob Carr’s misinformed ban on all PWCs on Sydney Harbour. Most are now more efficient and quieter than many modern outboard engines. Today, new PWCs have vastly improved sound dampening systems and extremely low emission levels. The personal watercraft industry, and the sport as a whole, has always had its detractors, but it has come a very long way to improve its image.
