I am a true speed junkie?? I currently have a 160HP turbocharged Honda 2 seater and a 185 HP supercharged SeaDoo 3 seater. This is the new one I have a deposit on.

Do at the Lake House sometime in the next few months. Going to smoke everyone else on the lake this summer.

215HP Supercharged & Intercooled 2 seater

04 Seadoo RXP 215HP

I've yet to be beat on my modded, 70+ mph Kawasaki Ultra 150.

Most people get scared when they ride it .....

I also have a modded Kawasaki Ultra 150, it kicks my *** on a regular basis.
Do you think this RXP would be a more civilized speed machine?

I miss my Yamaha Wave Blaster. It's in Canada.
I think its still one of the best handling ski's ever made. It was too hard for people to ride though. Nowhere near as fast as todays models though.

John...

I'm confident the RXP will be more civilized than the Ultra....but more fun?? Doubt it, but will probably never find out. During the summer of 1999 my two brand new Sea Doos blew 3 engines in total, and with that my Sea Doo ownership history came to an end. I bought my first Ultra out of frustration while both the Sea Poos were down in the shop.....and I've never looked back!

My Ultra really turned the corner after the addition of a Shreadmaster Ride Plate and Aggressor Sponsons.....the ride quality improved and handling became much more predictable. I'd look into these mods if you don't already have them.....

Has your Ultra ever tossed you off at high speeds? Before my handling mods I got launched off sideways at 55 mph....WOW!!

Yes I have both those options and have been kicked off numerous times at very high speeds, have the scars to prove it too. Problem with the Agressor sponsons is holding on in high speed turns, it just wants to throw you off the side. Funny thing is I got into waverunners after some serious injuries on dirt bikes thinking that as you are on water you can't get hurt - WRONG.
