Excellent video! I currently run between the 13/16 and a 13/18 solas for closed course racing. The 13/16 does have cavitation out of the hole a lot more but does better in the mid range pull buoy to buoy on tight courses but in rough water you don’t get the hard pull and are always to close to the limiter, the 13/18 is an all around good choice as it doesn’t have as much cavitation has a better top speed and you can leave it wide open in rough water and it stays pulling hard. I have not tried the 4 blade or the pump wedge on mine but you now have me interested. For any one wondering for comparison, I have a 2017 full limited class built motor with Riva intake grate 17lb charger wheel and with a 13/16 see speeds of 81mph at 8,950 rpm and with the 13/18 I see 83-84 mph at 8,700 rpm. The13/16 is a lot more snappy in the right conditions however i feel it is only for a unique condition and it is not as good all around like the 13/18. As far as quality from solas I have used and repitched 5 impellers and have had no issues so far. Hope this helps, thanks again for the awesome content!
I’ve been saying for a year and a half now that the 21+ RXPX impeller is a very good impeller for stage 1 tunes. With just an air intake, RXPX impeller, flame arrestor delete. and Riva 8500 RPM tune (targeting 8300-8400 rpm) I was able to hit 82mph GPS verified and saw 83 on the dash in April 2022.
Any experience with a race finished rxtx impeller by impros? I'm hearing it's close if not better than the 21+ rxpx impeller. Would be cheaper for me too (22 rxtx)
@@Mike-Rxtxteresting. I'm running my 19 rxtx OEM worked by impros and ribs about 80 with Riva stage 2 and love it in all conditions especially in the rough water, it stays hooked but was thinking to try the 21+rxp impeller even have it in hand to see if I can get some more speed out of my ski but not at the risk of losing the hook up. Where did you hear that from?
@gus13letter someone posted their personal experience, but they never mentioned if they had tweaked the 21+ impeller pitch for best results vs impros perfecting the pitch. If you end up doing the switch to do a comparison please let me know the results!
Hey what did you repeat your factory impeller too? I got a 2018 GTX limited. I'm probably going to do some modifications during the winter probably trying to get it to 80 mi per hr
Ernesto next time test this same two props the aftermarket solas 13/18 three blades vs the oem stock 4 blades RXP-X 2021 prop with the draggi to see with which one the RXT 300 accelerated quicker. What about testing the same ski with a aftermarket waterbox vs the oem stock one? This also should be a very interesting test 👍😉. The stock configuration exhaust vs the aftermarket single rear exhaust vs the new rear dual exhaust should be also a very interesting test. Thanks for the excellent videos.
The 1318 Solas definitely gets to TopSpeed faster than the stock 21 4blade as far as doing more test My biggest problem is time I have to work and pay bills that’s why we need to grow the channel so I can dedicate more time.
@@calasworld I was the first person to bring to our island of PR a 4 stroke personal watercraft. It was a Kawasaki STX-15 this was back in 2004 and also put a deposit and buy the first Sea Doo supercharged RXT 215 hp that arrived to our island with with a external intercooler this was back in 2005. In that time I owned both skis. The top speed of the stock RXT was only 64 mph in our local heat soak and high humidity tropical weather in salt water, then durring the breaking period after only a few hours of use it was completely modified with a Riva racing aftermarket Intercooler, a Riva flashed computer, a Riva high flow air intake, Riva racing valve retainer’s and installed a high psi aftermarket rude supercharged and a solas prop made by Impros. With this mods I break the 70 mph back in the day and my ski was the fastest all around our island. I never moded the Kawasaki because at that time there were none aftermarket high performance parts available for him. I also used to wrench in them before but I am retired from the hobby now.
The 21+ stocker definitely seemed the best. Although the solas 13/18 got the same top end it seemed like it took longer to rev out and the lower rpms kinda showed that. If you get the traction with the 13/16 it would probably shoot out the water but might have to think about valve train for the top end. What type of intake grate? Presume stock since your basing a lot from stock. Do the stock grates have a scoop in them like the AMs ones? Idk what SD has done with the stockers. I know Yamaha started to install a scoop style grate on the gp18rs I think in 19. Then I guess the question is if a scoop grate is installed and your getting that speed is the mounting area beefed up enough so the bolts don’t rip out like the 17/18 gp18rs? Can get yourself down a big rabbit hole very easily, lol. Great stuff, hardest working man at the boat ramp that day. Hope you get to ride with the gang.
Good info here! I have been in the market for a prop for my RXP. Also look forward to the video on HP tuners! I have been using HPT for over a year now. So far I’m at 81mph with a tune and intake only (with seat on and me on it at 210lbs). HPT works!
So with HPT you can reflash the oem ECU and copy that map to an other ski as well within extra charge ? Don you need license as well like on maptuner ?
@@Watercraftspecialist yes you can reflash the oem ecm. You have to buy credits from HPT for every new vin. But when you get the credits for that vin you can make changes and reflash as many times as you want. Which from what I hear it’s way easier than the maptuner process. And data logging with HPT is awesome!
I’m so overthinking this impeller selection, so I’m reaching out to the incredible Calas community for some direction.. I really enjoy my ‘19Rxtx platform since new and tuning on it is my therapy.. I think I’m ready for impeller/pump tuning and looking for a impeller to start with. Riva 135 wheel and injectors, retainers, fizzle, thruhull exhaust, Riva intake, mapX tuned(8800 agr).. I have data logging ready and at 8400 it’s showing 82mph.. This is with the stock pump and impeller. I have solas 14vane pump and lucky13 tuning cone ready to go in, but I’m struggling with what impeller to start with.. Dean pitched a 13/20 for my Fx and it made a huge difference.. I also have springs/retainers and cam waiting to go in and I know that the whole combo will be dependent on the impeller setup.. target rpm is 8800-8900.. would pitching a 21 up RXP or solas be a better start?.
I have a 2020 seadoo gtr 230 I changed the wear ring into stainless steel and now I want to change the impeller what the best size I have done jp performance rear intake and intercooler hoses with bov riva rear exhaust catch can and riva delete was thinking about getting riva tuner but it telling me to change my wear ring and impeller to smaller size I rather ask a Professional
Nice video bro! I have the solas 13/16 four blade and that thing rips. I also have the Pump Wedge installed. When I finish tuning I will give you a call to see if I can go over there and hang out, you could also try mine on your ski to see if it gets any gains
What rpm are you turning up top?.. I’m leaning towards the same 13/16 for 8800-9000 and tuning out the cavitation with a l13 pump cone.. I’ve got a 135 and cam, and I’m mainly after the launch and midrange…
Hey Calas I have a 2008 RXT-X 255 with 4 inch intake, free flow exhaust, catch can. What prop would give me best top speed and not lose too much acceleration. Also do you sell them
Is there any cons of adding a pump wedge to your ski? I have an rxtx 300 2022 and the most speed i’ve gone is 80mph but according to my tune i should be doing 82mph so maybe i need a pump wedge to get that extra mile or two. Im just wondering if theres any cons of having a wedge, as in turning, etc.

Hey bro, with these kinds of tests, you should use Dragy to know exactly which props accelerate faster than the other in a short time. Also, the level of the fuel should be the same.
215 s3 hull with stage 2 here, looking for better holeshot was considering 14/19? will that lower or increase my rpm? it's cavitating + rpm limit under 4k rpm. would this be a good upgrade? Thanks Ernesto great results on some 300 props here

Feel your pain whether here change like this too 😂😂😂 defiantly interesting to see all those differences as it's hard but no one really explain how the pitch and the prop with same engine can make the difference on speed they all talk about rpmobut you can have more rpms and go slower or less and go faster but you never go faster at same rpms 🤔🤔 weird hey😂
Ok so let’s be honest the factory 4 blade RXPX impeller is way better just because everyone in the pwc world knows that solas has a issue with there impeller blades breaking and wrecking a pump and more when it does this. I wonder what this impeller would do on the 16-20 rxpx300 because it seems that it’s hard to get that ski in the high 70’s as a stage 1
See my post in this section, when I had my stage 2, I was only seeing 75-77 this was also with the Riva Intake Grate, the RXT hulls as well as the new RXP hulls are a little faster but ours still out turn them every day of the week on a buoy course.
@@calasworld I wonder if tweaking the pitch of the RXPX impeller could improve on the midrange. Anyway great video I’m going to try and find a 21+ RXPX impeller for my 16 rxpx300 stage 1 to see the changes currently I’m at 75 at 8040 rpm
Absolutley love these kind of videos! I am just a bit confused. I feel like every channel is pushing the solas 13/18 prop even though the results are showing rxpx 21+ is best one. Am I missing something? I have a 22 rxtx and am on fence about switching to SS wear ring + new impeller which is why I am so curious
Really feels like you're fighting the urge to say "We"ll see what happens!" Love this content! Thank you!
