I've already been through the 1995 pretty good. Tanks emptied/cleaned, checked compression, replaced plugs, trimmed wires, checked charging system, replaced battery, fuel gauge fixed, cleaned out hull really well, rebuilt carbs (including replacing needles and filters), set idle/low speed to...

oops, I put a 10A on mine to get it charged up quickly. Everything still works though, did I get lucky?

We purchased two Poppy covers for our GTX's and the initial quality and fit is very nice. I do feel that the material is a bit thin, so we'll see how they hold up under the dock.

I agree, I'm just trying to see if this is a ski I should love or patch up and pass on in favor of a better ski...I mean I have a '95 and a '96 GTX and I like the '96 MUCH better....I'd be more willing to work on it.

My 95 was so bad I paid a dealership to do it after I pulled my work bench across the garage and broke a 2x4 trying to get enough leverage on it.

What a great thread, I'm glad to see a lot of 96-97 GTX's on here. I'll for sure have support if I have issues down the line. I'm really glad mine was in great shape and I haven't had to do quite so much to it though. You've put a LOT of work into these!

Great thread! Turned out really nice. It's amazing what a ton of elbow grease will do. Also, being that I'm from Texas - I noticed your TEXMILE license plate! Did you have a cool car those were on?

That's what I'm thinking. I'd like a '96 GSX, but the lack of reverse kinda bugs me... I think I'm looking to off this '95 GTX for a '97 GTX...

Why's that? Is the 657x a good motor?

My 1996 GTX's wear ring was basically missing. It sat and basically blew the ring out the back the first time it was on the water. Once I replaced it (easy job, unlike my 1995) it ran great.

Nice to see you fixing up a 1996 GTX, I love mine...Good luck!

Opened up this thread a couple of years ago: http://www.seadooforum.com/showthread.php?71617-New-guy-trying-to-get-SeaDoo-s-ready-for-the-water-95-amp-96-GTX-s/page2 With some help from the forums, I got both of my GTX's running pretty well. My 1996 GTX has been a rock and a great ski...

Came back 2 years later to see it done.... C'Mon, finish her up!

I had the dealer replace the wear ring and install my anti-rattle cone. $350 later it was all done and it ran great on the water. So both GTX's are 99% perfect, but neither fuel gauge works. Since my reserve works, I'm not all that worried about it, I'll get around to it eventually.

I use the SeaDoo 2-stroke oil. I'll try and take a video this weekend of mine, I'm headed to the lake!
