xp 800 vs gp1200

My Cousin and I riding in Longboat key Florida on christmas break. Me riding the 1996 seadoo xp and him riding the 1997 yamaha gp1200. Post a comment on who you think is faster. The sea doo xp 800 has primer kit, vortex flame arrestors and tracker sponsons. The Gp 1200 has been bored .8 over and a solas X prop.

Both of these skies are good skies. As long as they are taken care of they will remain reliable.. I've literally have had almost no real problems with my xp, besides owner error.

I live in Ky. I can show you if you want! Just Saying, Where do you live? it would be fun to meet up somewhere's as I had other non-believers as well....... There's NO WAY a 96 XP can stay close to my RXT 215! Have Boat will travel..... Only thing done to the RXT Was a Supercharger Rebuild. Not being Sarcastic at all man, it would be fun!

@raedon40 You are very wrong a 96 xp can beat an rxt with the rights mods. Almost a 15 year old ski standing its ground with new 7-10k skies is pretty good.

bullshit you guys dont know shit. The seadoo xp is a piece of shit. I had a waveraider 1100 triple and it had a bad fuse and it was cutting out and i still smoked a 1996 seadoo xp.

[cucchiara3000]

@JWARDRIPJR It doesn't matter the xp was faster. I never had a problem with my xp. I'm happy with it even after all the limited mods I've put on it since this video.

[icehawks87]

not to boost your ego anymore but yes the xp was a littlle quicker, the old gp1200s diddnt have a good power to weight ratio, dont even bother with racing a gp1300r, ull get wooped, i have won, it was awsome till i threw a crank beargin....yamaha sucks, sea doo all the way, im getting my 2009 RXP-X tomarrow!!!!

[cucchiara3000]

@icehawks87 to tell you the truth this video was to just fuck with my cousin.I'm well aware that my xp is faster. I'm also well aware that a 1300 will beat me. But my ski has been modded a lot since this video. So a stock 1300 I can hang with. Ps have fun with the X

Raedon40...no 215 will do 75 bone stock!!! Trust me...i know! U r turning 65 at best! I whoop up on 215's all the time. Even the RXP-X wont do 75mph unless it modded! Get a gps and stop reading the speedo. And oh yeah, i'm beating 215's with a '96XP!

[raedon40]

I have a pair of 96 XP's, Both have been VERY RELIABLE WITH NO PROBLEMS! I also got an 05 RXT Seadoo 215 Supercharged, that will do 75mph Bone Stock!

96 xp and 97 spx best skis ever made they turned them into boats after that more horse power boat hulls bombardeir should sell these again

@JWARDRIPJR LISTIN BUDDY YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YAMAPOO THEY SUCK I HAD ON AND IT BLEW UP AND I LOST TO A XP YAMPOOS SUCK!

[JungleListSoldier]

@icehawks87 You don't know what you're talking about. The 97-99 GP1200 weighed 525lbs and has 135hp. The 2000 GP1200r weighs 675lbs and only has 20 hp more. Stock the old GP has better power to weight ratio then the newer GPR watercraft. Having ridden both an old GP1200 and a GPR you can really feel that extra 150 pounds. But the advantage is the GPRs stays hooked up much better.

@icehawks87 How does it feel that yamaha and kawi are at the top in reliability? Check boats.net, or Iboats.com, or ask anyone at greenhulk. Seadoo is right at the bottom. It's what put polaris and tigershark out of the game. Im not dissing pon seadoo either. They are fun, fast, and nice looking machines. They just end up in the shop alot. As for the 97 GP1200, The 97's had hull issues. The xp is faster than the 97. 98 they changed to 5 degree nozzle and a better hull and were the fastest out.

that gp1200 isnt running right or something
