some polishing and waxing and it's good to go. It did had a service at a seadoo dealer about 8 running hours ago, so i'm already very exited
like a little kid a few days before christmas.

don't buy the bayliner mini jet!!!- I had one- 90 hp mercury. HUGE POS!
I think it was called a "Jazz" and it went from 0-40 in about 8 days
there is really no comparison between the seadoo lineup and the bayliner jazz. even they knew that and got out of mini jet boats. it was a strange few years back in the early 90's- traditional boat manufacturers saw a market in the smaller jet boats, but spent very little money making them any good. there were a few other makes & models out there too- but the fad lasted only a few years before BRP took the mini jet boats seriously and the rest got out of the business pretty quickly.
Finaly i had the time to do a testrun with my boat, and it was damn cold, because outside and also the water was only 60F, but anyway. Once back home i started the engine
to blow out any remaining water, and i saw this hose being sucked vacuum as i hit the throttle, and it looks to me as a hose from the closed cooling system, so does anyone know if this is normal?

Just so I understand....Are you saying the hose is squeezing in? That is part of the closed loop cooling
Scarab does make seadoo like boats, but yamaha is also great, so i'm sure you wil have alot of fun with it.
Yes, as soon i hit full throttle, i see the hose getting squeezed.

Have you checked your coolant level in the tank?
It looks like no one else checked it out, so did you already tried and see what's happening?

I just winterized my 2012 RXP-X 260, it is a different motor but I do see movement in the coolant hose when giving it quick bursts of the throttle. Not really sure if this helps you but thought I would pass it on.
