Look what followed us home.....

We are proud owners of a new 2016 RXP-X 300. All I can say is WOW, this thing is amazing. We still did not sell our old 2 strokes yet, but couldn't pass up this deal - $13,381 out the door, 2 free sea doo jackets, oem cover, dock lines and a safety kit. Had it on the water on Sunday and even during break-in and 3/4 throttle, this thing is a rocket. Now to wait a year so I can add exhaust and a tuner

 

[silverrules]

Congrats. I've been looking at the deals too. Enjoy.

Question. Did $13.3K include trailer as well?

 

[pwgsx]

No, picked that up on CL for a couple hundred.

 

[hfgreg]

Wow! That price came down quick. Great deal. Once you finish break in you will truly see what a beast it is.

 

[pwgsx]

Yea I couldnt believe the price, it was actually a CL ad as well from a dealer 2 hrs away. It was the last one they had so we put $200 deposit down and made the trip. No added fees or anything, my wife and I were impressed. We had been looking at a 2015 rxpx260 with 8 hours on it with trailer but the o.t.d. price was $12.9k.

Make sure you check all those hose clamps.

 

[pwgsx]

I have not done that but plan to tonight.

 

[d staley]

By the way congrats on the new ski they are pretty nice.

 

[pwgsx]

Thanks man!!

 

[jhjesse]

Great looking ski. Congrats!

welcome to the 4 stroke madness! nice machine and great deal!
i too went from a gsx to a 4 stroke and my aging body is thanking me. even though mine is only a gti 130, it still feels like it has the power of the gsx and still have a blast carving and doing spin outs., yet it plows through chop much nicer where the gsx beat the heck out of me.

You will LOVE owning a 4-tec. Super easy to own.

Confirm with the dealer that the Head Bolt TSB has been completed. There is a single head bolt that is an issue and must be replaced on the 300's.

 

[Hawk388]

Man, you got one hell of a great deal! When she hits five hours, you're really gonna see the beast unleashed!

 

[pwgsx]

All checked and good to go

He ran my Vin and said my ski came out after the TSB and is not affected, I did check the clamps though and all seemed nice and tight and correct.

 

[Coastiejoe]

Very good,,,

Don't forget to check the VTS trim bolts and the Bucket (brake) bolts. EVERYTHING needs to be checked. And after your first 10 hours, I would check your spark-plug torque. I had an issue with mine being loose. 17ft/lbs is the torque.

Quick update: Ski is running great BUT I noticed this once in the first hour of riding, I let off the gas and the ski was almost stopped when I turned the steering to the right and it rev'd high and then back down. I didnt think much of it because it was just a quick burst of throttle......FF to last night ( 3 hrs on ski now) when I took the ski out, I was riding at 3/4 throttle when I let off and let the ski coast to a stop. I happened to turn the bars right and the engine idle increased the more I turned right, the more straight I made the bars it would decrease. I was able to keep this going making a circle above idle speed without touching the gas. Putting the bars straight it went back to idle. I wasnt able to make it happen again. What the hell???

 

[Ankeneyou]

That should be the OTAS. Off throttle assisted steering. It automatically increases engine speed to help steer when at idle.

 

[Bren989]

Yes, that is the OTAS. I can go 5mph without hitting the gas by just turning the handle bars back and forth. I consider it a cheat for the no wake speed cruise control setting some skis come with

 

[pwgsx]

Any way to turn that off? Strange bc I was idling waiting for the trailer and turning it left and right it didnt increase at all. Its like it has a mind of its own.

 

[Bren989]

I would talk to the dealer. I'm sure there is a way to deactivate it by pulling the fuse or something but I don't know of it

 

[Prime Target]

You'll get used to the OTAS. I wouldn't eliminate it. It's a safety feature that keeps thrust when you let off the throttle and turn. Congrats on the great deal. Wait until the computer opens after break in. It's a savage. A SCOM will get you to 75 mph. Tune, Solas R prop and Cold air intake will get you to 80. Also, don't trust those cheap azz clamps on the coolant line. They WILL fail. Get 2 wider, better quality clamps. I replaced mine before it ever saw water. No problems at 30 hours.
