Miami To Exumas

[1948Isaac]

You know I love the Seadoos. @ScarabMike can provide some insight on the new ones since he has one. The upgraded supercharger hopefully will be a big improvement since it supposed to be maintenance free. That's a big upgrade IMO. If it was me, I personally would purchase the 2016 RXT-X 300. The hull is great for ocean riding and you can ride 3 up. If your wanting to run buoys then I would imagine the RXP-X would perform better, but I'm not sure amateurs like us would tell a major difference between the 2. Only having 2 seats on the RXP-X would be a deal killer for me, but again I don't have a boat. I can't speak for the 2016s but previous model RXP-X didn't ride as good through chop (based on reviews I read) as the RXT-X would. They just handled a bit better. Both are super nice however.

I am 95 % inclining towards the 2016 rxt x

I am 95 % in clinging towards the 2016 rxt x

I think you'll love either choice.

Only @1948Isaac...hahaha... 5 to 7 footers and you can't go faster then 28. I imagine most would be well under that speed.

Also after a while (5 damn hrs ride back) for some reason I was really tired of going up and down, so the same day i.got home I end up ordering the tabs... hopefully they will help a bit

Like you said , I read the rxtx does very good in rough water which we have 90%of the time here in the Gulf of Mexico and having the third seat is a plus for me , because my daughter and JJ love to ride with me .

Was it bigger then the day everyone said lets ride around Staniels Cay and we went out the channel and everyone else didn't follow? I don't know trim tabs would have helped much that day I remember being vertical most of that time lol.

That's a good days ride in decent conditions. Definitely a good ride in 5 to 7s.

LOL I know , Definitively nothing compare to that. In this photo @robert843 probably was thinking: ( WTF is this guy thinking, )

And i thought every one was smiling, maybe screaming ????? who knows. Me and @robert843 were trying to jump waves a bit higher but when we look back everyone else stayed on the other side. I guess no one wanted to join the party......LOL LOL LOL

That must have been the first wave. By the 3rd or 4th I thought I heard Trudy saying something but I couldn't tell if she was cussing or praying

That was fun for sure.

I have video footage of us going out that day somewhere if I didn't delete it but it was worthless as all you could see was the bow of the boat lol. I thought the wtf thing well before we went out when @Andy S said lets ride around the island I already had looked at the the weather and knew what the conditions were I think I even looked at you when they came across the radio and said that and told you that was probably not a good idea. @swatski this was the day I decided I was going to buy a 15+ boat if you would have been there it would not have been a question as to which boat you were going to buy lol. @1948Isaac isaac was rolling into very heavy seas at about 35mph were where catching several feet of air every few seconds and the boat handled like a champ! It was bad enough that after I few minutes I turned around and no one was behind us everyone else didn't even follow us out. on @Andy S boat the woman were all telling him no way lol and he didn't have much of a choice to not follow or have a possible mutiny on his hands.

Wow...that's ridiculous. I guess your flag pole wouldn't fit the yachts down there . That or the 10 people that lived there were honest.

That must have been the second pass out the channel when we were just playing I promise faces didn't look like that the first pass out the channel at 35 mph lol.
