review by Isken K.
Hello everyone,
My wife purchased 2005 RXT Supercharged Sea Doo on May, 2005,
after 12 hours of use (July, 2005) the ceramic washers in the
super charger turned into powder. Dealer (Coleman Power Sports
in Virginia) tried to blame my wife for the failure.
She was told that she caused sea water to go into Supercharger
and she had to pay for the repair cost of "$1,800.00" (funny,
she never saw the engine, seats were never moved).
I had to fight with the dealer, it took took about 2 months
explaining to the service department that water should not go
into the intake system and if it did, problem would be Sea Doo's
bad design and it should be covered under warranty. They finally
repaired the ski free.
Last year the low battery light started flashing and killing
the battery. I'm afraid to go to dealers, we have only four
Sea Doo dealers around Washington DC area and they all seem
useless.
Ski is amazing, dealer(s) service is horrible, specially if
the boat is registered under female name!
Regards,
Isken K.

The 2005 Seadoo RXT Supercharged is by far the fastest and most
stable of the 3 seat muscle craft. It is amazing how fast you
get to 70 mph.
I have only 2 complaints:
1) The decals used could be of a higher quality.
2) It seems like you need deeper water than most
PWC. It tends to suck debris up into the impeller more often
than the yamaha and kawasaki's I have had.
Overall the most fun pwc on the water!!

I am having the same problem with the RXT. I already had the
impeller replaced, no difference, same problem. Sounds to me
like Sea-Doo has some explaining to do. I have already missed
half the season.
If anyone has the solution, let us know!!!

Just traded in a Yamaha XT Cruiser for the Sea-Doo RXT and have
a few comments. Incredible power on the RXT but not so happy
with maneuverability under 45mph. The Yamaha will hold crisp
and true on the tightest of turns where the RXT slips and slides,
one purposely has to 'slip' it into a tight turn or 360.
Also, in a 2' chop the Yamaha XT has great ergonomice for a
stand-up full speed run that will knock your socks off. The
Sea-Doo RXT is uncomfortable in a similar situation and is just
not suited for a 'stand-up' high speed run. It's nose heavy,
the handle bar can not be raised and is raked a little aft and
not comfortable for any aggressive riding.
Overall I am still undecided and am considering trying the Sea-Doo
RXP. Not sure, however, if it will be any different.
I am not at all unhappy with straightline performance but frankly
I feel that if Yamaha could replicate that kind of power in
their HO Cruiser's, they'd have an incredible machine. Vice-versa
for the RXT.

It would be nice if Seadoo would step up to the plate and fix
the problems with there supercharged 215 models. I find it upsetting
that 4 other riders that I know, all have the same problems
with the fiber washers on the supercharger. My unit only had
30 hours on it and my other friends had less. Maybe I was lucky!
