- We have had our new 2021 GTX 230 for about 1 1/2 months now and have traveled over 1000 km around Ontario so far in just under 40 HR we figured everyone would benefit from a quick review since the 2022 GTX will be coming out soon. #vitaminseadoo @vitaminseadoo #ineedsomevitaminseadoo @vitaminseadoo

A watercraft that doesn't like being outside in the sun, seems about right
you need to silicone spray the ski after every use and the finish stays very well preserved!
Thank you for your input! Any information is good information.
These machines are perfect for a fresh water indoor lake 😅
they can't do any better because there are assembled in mexico!
just ordered mine today, just seeing what everyone thinks about theirs! learned some good knowledge from this video to know how to take care of mine! thanks!
Excellent review! I bought 2 the end of July and absolutely love them! Did not have the issue with loose parts/plastic tho. I think that's a dealer prep responsibility. Haven't had the chance to use IDF though.
Great review. Have seen a few of your videos and recently subscribed. Curious to know which launch you use to head to Long Point?
We use the old cut launch as you can see in some of my videos not the old Cut livery by the chuckwagon the one on the left hand side ask for George
nice review, thanks for all the info
I got exactly the same GTX230 as yours, I'm picking up mine next week, just saw your IDF Failed video, got kind of nervous about it. lol
I'm gonna try to lunch it near Rondeau area
Just stay close to land for the first hour or so it’ll be OK don’t be nervous once my Got Fix it’s been flawless
Nice honest review! Definitely subscribing right now!
Quick question. on the hull. On the bottom portion of the hull, is the work Seadoo in orange a sticker or part of the hull? Seems silly but I like this ski and want to trade up my old 2012 to it... but I am not so partial to orange and would want to reduce as much as possible on the ski. Yamaha colors this season are just atrocious for my taste.
Thanks for the reply!
It is definitely a sticker. Enjoy your ride we love ours. I like the colors not a fan of the seat color though
If you were going to do it all over again would you buy a different brand or stay with seadoo?
I would stay with Sea-Doo.
Get the complaints particularly for money paid but it isn't going to look or stay in showroom floor condition after use cycles.
Great vid and in-depth discussions. Question, I owned a 2007 3 seater gtx 155 when they came out. Sold in 2011 and missing them ever since. And time to consider another toy, but now that they have the 170 gtx and 230… which would you recommend in terms of worth. Is the cost worth the 230 if your just hopping out along the Great Lakes here in ontario? Or do you think the 170 does the job overall whilst being considerate to my wallet when cruising around the lakes? Just wondering what people are saying as I was clearly happy with my 155 speed. And know hitting the water at fast speeds aren’t fun. So curious what people are thinking. Thanks in advance to posts…is the 230 a gas guzzler? And do those faster motors die quicker? At the moment I’m leaning towards the 170…?
170 is best choice for gas mileage, and reliability/durability. The supercharger will need to be rebuilt every 100hrs, so take that into consideration. It also puts more stress on the motor, so motor will wear out faster. I am looking at the gti 170 because of these reasons, and the speed difference isn't really worth it to me the 170 does over 60mph and that's plenty fast for me. I only have 1996 SPX x4, but it hits 53 mph with only me on it so the 170 would already be a step up.
I think it comes down to use case, if you want a cruiser get the 170, if you want a rocket ship get the 230. Cheers
I have nearly 500hrs on a 2018 FXHO, not a single hiccup, not a single issue.
The dealer here in Dubai they have only one fish pro 2021 new but I'm worried to buy it because of the IDF given the problems I'm reading about.
Do you think it's better to buy fish pro 2021 new from the dealer or just I will order fish pro 2022 ?
I wouldn’t be afraid to buy it the IDF issue I had was corrected quickly within four days your first ride or to make sure you ride with somebody since they have repaired it I have had no issue and I’m almost 40 hours now don’t wait for 2022 get your rides in now
@@ThePersonalWatercraftChannel Thanks.
Great review 🤝
On your trailer do you ever notice rattling when you go over pot holes?
Check frame welds for breakage, check u clamps and bolts, make sure they're tight. But most importantly... check your wheel hubs. Jack each side if the trailer up and wiggle the tire. Excessive slack is not good. It could indicate bearing wear. Also check to make sure the hubs are staying sealed and not letting water get in. That will ruin the bearings really fast.
Hey bro we got same ones my plastic is all tight . SeaDoo badd ass it's were ever you purchased at they did not tighten good they should always inspect good then why would you buy these Badd ass machines you should of bought a spark dude .... SeaDoo baby
We are purchasing 3 jet skis same time August 2022. We are leaning towards sea doo. Kawasaki has the 170- 4 cylinder, where as the others that size only 3 cylinders. Any info related to Sea Doo-Yamaha-Kawasaki comparisons would be helpful. And the trailer not sure if available for 3 Jet Skis. Or more trips with single trailer.
WELL DONE + informative !!!
What’s your take on the 2023 GTX 230 ??
Better stats for 2023 model ?
The 2023 models are identical to a 21 models in every way.
If the IDF repair fixes the problem then that must mean that the factory is not installing them properly. If it was the part it would keep occurring.
Yeah, I purchased my skill also at Lockhart Odyssey RXTX 300. Lindsey was my sales rep. If you have any issues, go straight to Brett, the owner of Lockhart Odyssey he used to race dirt bikes at gofer dunes. Put a catch can on it to catch all the blow by oil! A MUST NEED! Oil level should be at exact 💯 half way! Check after start and warm(oil)!
Well done good review !! Thanks for taking the time to do so, Be safe outhere
I didn’t mean the big cooler but yeah 899 is insane
I have an older GTX, and basically the same Garmin, but with side scan too. I took it off my boat before I sold the boat. Now I have to find a way to mount everything on the ski without drilling holes everywhere..
Order the bracket from BRP it fits nice
Great video !! Quick one.. do you think it's worth buying the knee pads to go on the jet ski since the GTX230 doesn't come with them ? I.e. so the knees are on soft cushioning versus hard plastic ? Or haven't you noticed anything bad with the plastic
My plastics is all messed up from suntan location so that what I did was buy the knee pads. I love them.
Thanks for the heads up about the plastic, I’ve already had a few problems with that
Thanks for watching my videos glad I could help.
great review! Re your comment on IDF sticks/stones etc - was at the beach here in NZ, as I was coming in on my GTR215 these young guys on a brand new Yamaha were trying to pull the sea biscuit rope out of the intake lol
Ouch!! That's a day ender for sure
how many miles do you travel with a full tank of gasoline?
About 130km
Good info bro
Great review! Merci beaucoup! :) I think you just made me decide which one to buy! ;)
Thats great!!
Is it worth it to go ahead and upgrade and get the 300
I personally don't think so. I'm good with 107km and don't ha e to burn more expensive fuel. T each there own tho
@@ThePersonalWatercraftChannel I'm going to take your advice sir. I was worried I might wished I would have gotten the bigger engine, but I think you're right.
108 mph or km
Km per hour lol
