forgot to mention the sea doo i have is a 155 GTX

you're giving up 25 HP & a bigger ski but getting a 4 yr newer ski...the choice is yours.

Given the condition of the ski's are equal, my choice would be to keep the GTX. Unless you are in the business of flipping ski's you're trading up for a slower ski.

I agree with Lou.

No way I'd give up your GTX for a GTI

 

[kicker]

GTX is 102 lbs heavier, that will pretty much chew threw the extra 25 HP.
Power to weight
GTX 5.46 lbs per pony
GTI 5.71 lbs per pony
So its about 1/4 per HP, which is like the difference between a full tank of gas and a half tank of gas.

I am not a 4tec guy so not all that familiar with how these skis are fitted, I know the GTX is a higher end model but it is 5 years older. I am willing to bet that the 2011 GTI has more bells and whistles like IBR, then the 2007 GTX.

In summery to me the fun factor will be about the same, GTI is 5 years new, GTI is probably better equipped, along with the trailer. All that for an extra $500..................I am going 2011 GTI all day long if my assumption are correct.

Just my opinion.

Where's the urgency in this thread?

Now...if he had a line on a killer deal for a low hr 255 in pristine condition...maybe...nah...no brainer then.

nvm

GTI all day. Very similar top end and acceleration. The IBR is worth it, no more messing with reverse levers. I control, throttle by wire is very snappy in sport mode. GPS speedo, better hull, etc. the list goes on and on.

I'm guessing most here haven't ridden one judging by their responses.
