1995 seadoo gts stability?

[LiterateStylish]

Anyone own a 1995 seadoo GTS? How is the stability? I know it's a 3 seater but it's an older version, so wanted to make sure.

I own a 97, and at 200lbs i can pretty much stand on one side and not flip. they are really stable and reliable. a very good starter ski.

Thanks for your reply! I wonder if there is any difference between the 95 and 97.

the top half of the hull was changed visually, if i remember correctly the bottom half of the gts never changed as long as it was in production....

Oh ok that's great. Just 1 more question. What's the weight limit on yours? Can't find that anywhere.

i think its around 600lbs, can't remember the exact number for sure. i've had about 700 on it before and it did fine, it got really tippsy tho

Oh ok. We would have 450 on it tops. So it should be fine I would think.

Thanks for the info.

P-P-E is spot-on. I was surprised how little it tipped when climbing on from the side. I am 210# and it felt very stable even at speed!

I had a 92 GTS. That hull/body design is very stable. I never even came close to flipping it even when making sharp turns at high speed. No worries. The decal on mine said combined weight of people and cargo not to exceed 490 pounds.

yeah when they add the vents in the back and the 717 in there it went up a bit. i've had me (200lbs) my dad (330 lbs) and my ex girlfriend(130) on it plus fuel and everything was fine. it was really tippsy and took some time to get on plane but it did just fine.

My wife bought a 94 GTs last weekend. Nice boat, VERY stable, compared to my SPi.
