They both have pros and cons - it depends on exactly what kind of riding you want to do with them and where.SBT Tech Support is here to help with your problems.

Re: 05 gp 1300 vs. 05 RXP

Re: 05 gp 1300 vs. 05 RXP
It's very true. If you are looking for a jumper, neither is going to be great, but the GP will be worlds above the RXP. The RXP is a smooth drag racer, that's about it.SBT Tech Support is here to help with your problems.

Re: 05 gp 1300 vs. 05 RXP
Are their any significant problems with the GP? I dont plan on any huge mods, maybe intake, intake grate, impeller, thats about it. I'm new to the sport, so i want something that is better than the average rec ski, but something that is reliable. How is that Ultra 150?

Re: 05 gp 1300 vs. 05 RXP
The GP has a little concern about cranks, but it is very little compared to the s/c problems on the Sea-Doos. Overall the GP is much mroe reliable. Th Ultra is bullet-proof as far as the engine goes. They need to have the pump bearings replaced every couple years, that's it. Again though, a completely different ski. I think you really need to go ride them to make up your mind - you are comparing apples oranges and banannas.SBT Tech Support is here to help with your problems.

Re: 05 gp 1300 vs. 05 RXP
It doesn't matter what I would choose, I'm not you. I don't like the ride or size of the RXP, and I don't fit on the Ultra (I'm 6'2, it's made for much shorter people). The GP isn't exactly my cup of tea either for other reasons...that's why I'm never selling my '97 GP1200 - perfect for ME in all regards.SBT Tech Support is here to help with your problems.

Re: 05 gp 1300 vs. 05 RXP
The point is not that failures can happen - it's the downtime. I can't count the number of posts from people this summer that go like this: Yeah I bought a new RXP, it was real fast on the lake for a couple weeks, and then it's been in the shop all season.
What's the point of buying something if you can't use it?SBT Tech Support is here to help with your problems.
