2009 RXT 255 or 2008 GTX Limited 215

[Brent Hamm]

Looking at the above to seadoos and trying to choose which one would be better for us.

The 2009 has 45 hours, and the 2008 has 100 hours. Price for the 2009 is 500 bucks more. Will be used for towing 75% of the time.

Thanks!

Two totally different skis... I own one of each of them.

RXT-X, is basically a race car and it rides like a sports car. The older models don't have many goodies such as IBR but the newer does have them as an option. I would assume the 2015 does, but I do not know that.

GTX, is basically a Cadillac. The ride is simply fantastic, has a hump seat and is VERY comfortable. Normally has all the goodies such as IBR and VTS. Fly by wire, (no cables).

I LOVE my RXT-X 255 as I love the performance. But,,, the GTX is a fantastic family machine. For all of these reasons, I will own one of each for as long as I am able to walk/ride...
