I agree with everything Sikiguy stated.
The Utopia with twin Rotax is one of the most maneuverable boats. You will have a learning curve but once you learn its low speed capabilities you will be shocked at how well you can control it around the docks.
Keep it simple and get the 310hp...
Personally, I think your looking at the wrong boat. Off-shore, salt water, chop, swells.....Doesnt spell Seadoo sport boat to me.
You must remember, conditions can and will change on you at some point or another and the Challenger design is not considered exceptionally seaworthy in poor...
Jim is 100% correct. Look over the boat extremely carefully so you know what your buying. I have owned three Seadoos and two of them had thousands in warranty claims done. Many of them were a huge battle with BRP.
Both my Utopia 205 and Challenger 180 had many gelcoat issues. I was having a...
There is no comparison between the Seadoo cover and the Poppy cover. The Poppy cover is three times the quality!!! If that wasn't good enough Terri from Poppy provides unmatched service and support. If Terri ran BRP I would buy another Seadoo in a heartbeat!

Yep.....The C180 swim deck on mine flex'd quite a bit...I wasn't surprised mine developed gelcoat cracks. Very frustrating and now Seadoo apparently is not repairing these if your out of the initial 1 year warranty. Even under the BEST warranty extensions they are now denying these...
Jim,
File a complaint with your BBB. In addition why not try small claims court?
This confirms my opinion of BRP and not only will I never purchase anything BRP again, I will discourage anyone else who asks my opinion. There are quality issues with these boats and BRP now is resisting to...
It getting more and more difficult to recommend BRP products when they make owners stuggle to get defects repaired even when your under warranty.
I'm officially on a boycotte of BRP until our member boats get fixed!

I think your fine. Feel fortunate BRP put in a "fail-safe" and alerts you and puts the boat in limp-mode. If not for that feature you could have cooked your boat.
