Cruising my jet ski's vid...My 400hp Yamaha and my wife's 300hp Sea Doo...

[FivePointOmg]

Out cruising on the lake today with the GoPro on my head...Made a little vid. I'm on my heavily modified 2014 Yamaha FZR (1800cc supercharged/intercooled/18psi, etc etc) and she's on her 2016 Sea Doo RXT-X 300...Mine's near 400hp and does 86mph on my GPS and hers does about 72mph on GPS...Enjoy

I just want to let you know, let you know, let you know... that everyone would rather hear a 400 horsepower jet ski.

Your jetski has more HP than my car. I officially need a new car. :nonono:

Makes me miss my GTR215! Such fun toys, but BLOW through fuel, and kinda tough for long day outings.

Nice video, but OMG, that music! Made me want to punch my screen.

Awesome jet skis! How does it feel with 400hp? That's huge power.

300hp factory jetskis? Meh, not enough, need more.

Wouldn't a much larger bass boat with 400hp do 80+ as well? Just curious why a much smaller jet ski wouldn't go much faster.

Correct...Has to do with the pitch of the prop...Mine's setup mostly for holeshot and mid range...Try to pin the throttle from a stop on mine it wants to rip your arms out.(400hp + 830lb dry weight) I've ripped apart basically the fastest boats you can think of out of the hole except for full on drag boats. My prop takes me to almost even with my rpms...I run about 8750rpm and ski tops out as I said around 86 on my gps.

Learn something new every day! Thanks!

I added music more for YouTube views than anything I know it sucks lol...Go to my channel and watch a couple of my other ones with my speed runs you'll be happier.

Different style props and different pitches come into play but the primary reason a 400hp boat is much, much faster (not quicker) than a 400hp watercraft has to do with the fact that a jet pump is nowhere near as efficient as a prop...I think props are about a third more efficient, generally speaking...You've got a lot of added drag for the inlet, compressing it through a venture nozzle, etc...

Which ski did you prefer when they were stock? I'm contemplating the GP1800 or RXT 300 next spring.

Great video.

Awesome! I used to have a modded '04 RXP, miss it!

If you plan on keeping the ski stock then go with (my opinion) the better quality ski and get the RXT-X 300. If you want a ski that's easier to mod, but less comfy and less luxury stuff then go with the Yamaha for all out power/speed...

Usually is with all the ski/wake boats that go out...Yesterday was unusually flat as you can see in the vid...

Exactly right...I left out a few details. Less efficient and also the hull is setup for pure handling mostly which limits speed to an extent...but also increases the fun factor...
