Hi everybody, and thanks for this forum.
New to jet skis, but kind of familiar with engines, big and small.
So we just got a 2008 SeaDoo GTI 130 SE, about 200 hrs. After a plug change and fresh gas it seems to be running great. Tops out at about 52 mph.
Decided that our family of four needed another (smh) so I got a 2003 SD GTX supercharged with about 140 hrs.
Took them both out in the water yesterday together and did some comparisons. My buddy is about 20 lbs heavier than me, and the GTI had half a tank. We did some “off the line” comparisons and the GTI seemed to always beat the supercharged GTX. GTX top end was maybe a little faster, but I’m still checking that out.
I was expecting the GTX to blow the GTI out of the water, no??? Is the GTX that much heavier that it won’t be much quicker?
Thoughts? No codes on either, and I think I hear a whistle of the SC.
