RXP's came with a 215.

Not True, there are 155 RXPs also and they are identical except for the SC and IC and the decals that say 215. Just look the back of the motor just left of center and you will see a large 1 foot diameter sc with two large 3" hoses attached, one comes out of center, one comes out the side and goes to the throttle body.

If you can take a pic of the motor, we can tell you in 2 seconds exactly what it is.

Holy cow! I never saw or read about that. When were they made?

I think the 155 RXPs were only for a couple years around 07 and 08, as I recall they were the red with the big RXP decal that was even on the outside of the footwell, maybe yellow ones too, can't remember. I wish Seadoo would have given it a different name, RXP should have been reserved for high performance imo.

ok photos uploaded matey hope you can tell me what it is

yep, no sc there. you have a 155 RXP.

also, another easy way to tell is that the throttle body is in the front instead of the rear.

you still have a nice machine, and very reliable. how much did you pay for it? if you don't mind me asking. just curious what the market is like in New Zealand.

To add to this, some of the engine internals and some electronics are different too
