Congratulation, I’m on the fence not sure if I should order Fish Pro Trophy or a Wake Pro 230
Well there are some plus' and minus' with both. The 230 has more HP but I did not see anything about fuel capacity. the fishpro has an 18 gallon tank. The depth finder is another $1K, the cooler is another $500, then any other accessories. I personally do not need the 230 HP engine, I am interested in fishing more than playing on the water. And the trophy now has that great seat for better visibility when fishing and some other features. hope this helps. Mine should be here sometime around December i think

I am new to Sea-Doo, but I am also about to put down a deposit. Curious, is it possible to work any discounts on these new models? I am getting the loaded Fish Pro Trophy w/TP IDF and Stereo. I understand these are not like buying cars, but curious if there is any room for negotiation when ordering one?
I do not think there is any room to negotiate. With the supply being so short and the demand being so high I think you can consider yourself lucky if you get to pay MSRP and not some ridiculous markup by the dealer. About the only way I think you might be able to save some money is purchase your own trailer, that is what I am looking at. Might save a few hundred that I won't have to finance.
Good luck

Well, I pulled the trigger today as well. Now I get to wait
what accessories do you feel are important? Sump pump? Extra battery kit?
The Trophy comes with a second battery already installed. I am planning to attach a solar panel to charge the batteries while I am out fishing. I want to have the Garmin and maybe the radio working while I am sitting and fishing.
I am also planning to get the cooler top extension, want a place to keep food when I am using the cooler as a live well.

I wanted the Fish pro for the extension but then I found that you now can have the GTX with the rear deck extension for an extra $500 since I am not fishing and I don't really need the Garmin $1000 and for the cooler I prefer a Cabela's at $250 than the Sea doo at $700, not to say that the Cabelas keep the ice for a week while I don't think the sea doo will.
also as far as Engine I had a GTR 230 and you only going quicker to speed but it is only 5MPH faster and use more gas.
so I ordered the GTX 170 with sound IDF and rear deck extension. now the half bad news is that I will only get it in May 2022.

Yes that is what I said about the battery, but this is to add a third battery? I like the idea about a solar panel!

I picked up some info at the dealership today, the Wake Pro 230 has a fuel capacity of 18.5 gallon tank, the Fishpro Scout 130 has a 15 gallon tank, the Fishpro Sport 170 and Fishpro Trophy 170 both have 18.5 gallon tanks. I'm leaning more toward the Wake Pro 230 with an added Garmin unit. I will be doing more wake boarding with my kids than Fishing so it makes since in my situation.
Do you own a 2018 or newer Sea Doo with the LinQ ski pylon attachment? I have contacted BRP inc. (Sea Doo) management and board members to approve an additional accessory and investment of adding a seat post and swivel seat to the ski pylon. Would you like to have this accessory and option of the ski pylon as a seat pedestal and swivel seat?
Also does anyone have the 2022 Sea Doo Fish Pro Trophy with the new swivel seat? Sea Doo must have understood that without a swivel seat, with the wave or current action spinning the ski around it could make it hard to cast for fish.
Great to have a swivel seat accessary even if not just for fishing and seems clear that they spent much time on R&D and money on remanufacturing the body shell and seat for the pedestal attachment points.
I haven’t been able to inspect the new Trophy swivel seat, so would be interested to get owners opinions, it looks like there is a key type attachment insert of the pedestal to the body shell of the ski, and a round fit of the pedestal to the seat. I have a question if these types of attachments might have some looseness or play in them? If there is not solid attachments to the pedestal and seat the motion of the water can make this looseness or play even more irritating or annoying? What do you think? Would you like to have the option of an accessory that uses the ski pylon as a swiveling seat pedestal on this Fish Pro Trophy so that 2 people could use this at the same time?

This is a great idea, having the swivel seat would be a great addition to the wake pro. Have you heard back from BRP?

I had some correspondences with BRP customer engagement specialists then was directed to one of their IP Engineers to further describe and explain this idea of adding and attaching a pedestal and swivel sear the ski pylon, but no response to say they want to add this accessory that would work on most all other Sed Doo PWC’s. Would be great if others sent requests to the BRP website asking that they would like them to offer this ski pylon seat accessory!!

As I don’t currently own a Ski, I’m wondering if something like this could be converted to fit into the LinQ ski pylon? Or even one with a back rest for days out on the water when your only intention is to go out fishing therefore installing it into possession prior to leaving the boat ramp.

I came up with an idea, and filed a patent # 63/210,644 that adapts and modifies the Sea Doo LinQ ski Pylon to provide a swiveling seat post and seat, and have sent requests to invest in the transfer of ownership and assignment of this patent to BRP Group Inc. but no agreement yet, believe it will take more consumers and dealers letting them know that they want this new accessory

Well if there is anything I can do for you just ask. Always willing to lend a helping hand when possible p.
Would appreciate using this Sea Doo contact link below to ask that BRP Inc offer this ski pylon pedestal swivel seat as another one of their accessories. Thanks ddudley

Hi ddudley
I have a seadoo 2020 fish pro with the ski pylon attachment. I would go faster than the seadoo can go to a dealership to buy an accessory to fit a seat pedestal swivel seat to the existing ski pylon. I hope in the near future seadoo make an accessory as i think that every seadoo fishpro owner would jump at the chance of adding it to their seadoo. I am a big thumbs up.

Please do i look forward to their response
Since Sea Doo has them included on the 2022 Trophy wouldn't they already have it patented?
