RXX ?
Being an extreme NEWB could you all tell me about the RXX. I was at North Texas Yahama yesterday and the salesman says come check this out. I guess they got one on consignment. He new nothing about it yet as they just got it but he tells me that it was a limited release and you had to have a racing certificate or something like that to even buy one. My first question is what was the lever on the left throttle for? It looks like a break lever and I know it isn't but that is the best way to describe it.

The RXX was SeaDoo's factory race ski only made in model year 2001, basically a boat that was all motor and stripped of unneeded items...Running twin pipes, a SKAT pump, and a few other toys...With simple enhancements, it was a true 70mph boat...
When new you had to be a racer, or a race team, to obtain one....But now they are just trying to dump them...
Only 300 were made, and they are FUN! If you can find one mint, or even in a crate, pick it up...They require a little more maintenance than a typical 2-stroke, but worth the time if you are a basic tuner...
The lever on the left is actually the manual trim...Last edited by Danny; 06-15-2007 at 09:53 AM.

I would argue that if you are a noob, and know little about the inner workings, avoid this ski at all costs. It is a tuners ski and is very high maintenance (much like my wife)
get a 4-tec and live happily ever after.

they are a fun ski... i recently picked one up... it had 0 hours on it, now has 10.7... in the process of changing the exaust gaskets though, they were bad after sittin for 6 years in the showroom. i gpsd it at 68.2 with a full tank of gas. it is very quick out of the hole and is a very light, fun ski on the water... here are some pics, how many hours are on the ski you found?

You know I didn't look at the hours, sorry. I just bought two new skis and was just looking at it out of curiousity. I pulled the seat and it was very clean and all the pipes were anodized blue.
So the clutch like lever on the handle bars is trim?
