- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Year-after-year, Sea-Doo's Wake Pro 230 (and smaller Wake 155/170) has been one of the brand's best sellers - and for good cause! Besides being chocked full of features and creature comforts, the specialty-equipped Sea-Doos come with the LinQ Retractable Ski Pylon, a detachable Wake Board rack, folding swim step and much more! One key feature of course, is the Wake Pro's innovative SKI Mode that makes launching, controlling acceleration curves and capping off the top speed absolutely a breeze! Just set the RAMP rate, your top speed, and BAM! You're ready to roll! And The Watercraft Journal shows you how to do it HERE!

this might be the best and only video on this that i can find.
Damn you almost nailed those tubers off that boat!
Video didn't mention, DO NOT tow tube from Skipole, or show skipole in use, after setting it all up..
That is the very best.. I have been looking for information on how the ski mode works.. and you Sir... nailed it
Thanks bunches
Thank you! Share with a friend!
The Watercraft Journal .. I have.. group page share.. Jetskishop. Com.. breakfast club
Its all in your user manual 😅
@@ivgot1 brought the ski second hand.. it didn’t come with a user hand book.. so run on and be a hero in someone else’s story
Another great review, keep up the good work 👍
75gromit thank you! Please share this with your friends!
My home lake! I thought it looked familiar! great review
Gorgeous place to be!
I bought a new Wake 155 and love it!!!
Should of bought one sooner.
Craig Walker great! Did we happen to help influence your decision?
Great explanation of ski mode! Thanks!
3:24 daring young girls... you are right about that... you almost smacked them into that boat!
It was our camera boat and we were going FAR slower than it looks on film.
The Watercraft Journal 5mph can smack and crack your neck. Don’t try and downplay it. This is a terrible video and I wouldn’t take what you say with a grain of salt.
Love the test subject material. That was great.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Share with a friend!
If I understand the seadoo models correctly the wake pro is the same hull as the gtx but you get the additional pylon, tow settings and it comes in different colors. Am I right?
Yes that's seems like it to me anyways
3:24, you really pulled them that close to another boater?
It was our camera boat, and we were going much slower than it appears on film.
Noticed the same thing when I watched this video, what a lame excuse, it looked close as shit and fast enough to really hurt someone.... Daring teenagers is right with you yahoos pulling them...
Gordon, we can assure you everyone was very safe and nobody got hurt. We passed the boat at less than 7mph so we could get a good close-up shot with the gaff pole.
@@gordonguillot341 your one yahoo for saying that
Cool
Very
i thought they was going to hit that boat with the tube man that was close
The fisheye lens made it look worse/closer than it was.
i’ve tried to remove my ski pylon numerous times but i can never get it off. Do you have any tips for that?
The pylon is only removable on 2018-and-up Wake Pro models. The GTI-based Wake 155 is fixed until 2020.
The Watercraft Journal i have a 2019 wake pro but i still am not able to get it off
Christ, you took those tubers WAY too close to that boat!! 👎
Edit: Happened at 3:25
LOL. Yeah, it was a little close but it was slower than it looks on camera.
@@watercraftjournal That's how to get a ticket for reckless operation in NC, less than 100' and definitely a close call. www.ncwildlife.org/boating/laws-safety/personal-watercraft-law
On another note we were on L. James 2 Sunday's ago, on my GTX 230 and my buddy's GTX 300 ltd, both new this year. Beautiful clear lake in the mountains.
Ahh my baby
Nice!
Does Kawasaki have something equivalent?
wait, it's a 3-person ski, but you have two on the ski and two on the tube, 4 total? Illegal?
CALL THE POLICE! OMG!
So ... the retractable towing pole has a sticker right on top of it that says, do not use this for pulling tubes ... is this one of those labels that can be essentially ignored? I just don't want to pull a tube on it, and it snaps off or something like that and then I'm responsible for it ... how many times have you used the ski pole for a tube and have there been any negative effects? Since my 2020 wake pro 230 has another spot on the back, I used the lower tow area and couldn't keep the rope out of the water and was spraying the riders the whole time ... thanks again for this review, great work
No, definitely use the tow eye for tubes. Follow the OE instructions.
@@watercraftjournal 3:23 Tube Rope tied to Ski Pylon....
@@edwardgriffiths3284the kid’s weigh very little so I think it’s fine
Is wake pro an good alternative for gtr 230 ? You said something about premature wear-and-tear in some spots! Did you register them ?
Register what?
@@watercraftjournal did you register in pictures the wear-and-tear points ? It was something big or details ?
@@watercraftjournal can you tell us where those premature wear-n-tear spots were (as I'm looking at buying a low mile secondhand model)? Cheers
Hi cool video. Can you also flyboard with this jetski?
eroentjuh presumably. Flyboards require a lot of equipment to be installed.
Thank you for your answer
Can you tell something about the fuel consumption of the seadoo gtr and seadoo wake-pro? :)
We don't have the official fuel consumption numbers, sorry.
i have wake pro 230
How do you like it?
@@watercraftjournal best jet ski ever,my old one is gtx260 limited,but this one is 🤗🤗🤗
Meatball...you got lucky bud...bring the tube that close for a gopro shot. Smart
Or we know exactly what we're doing and you're commenting on footage that we intentionally published.
Do the 230 and rxt use the same amount of gas in eco mode?
All 230-rated Sea-Doos will fare the same mileage (RXT, GTX, Wake).
@@watercraftjournal sorry I ment vs the 300 rxt ? I have a gtx 230 2019 and thinking about trading it in for the rxt 300
You were dangerously close to other boats. Your rope was too long. I could go on. Not someone to teach proper towing technique. I towed pro ski teams forming pyramids, slalom skiers, wake boarders, and pro skiers jumping off ramps. Anybody knowing what they are doing does not need this feature.. programmed ramping of speed. It’s easy to throttle based on skier. And the same skier can need very different adjustments each time. This just makes bad skiers think their boat 🚣♂️ makes them a pro.
At no point did we claim to be teaching proper towing technique. We review jet skis here.
@@watercraftjournal either way he is right
@@carterdoyle680 He was right, but his point was silly. 90% of skiers and drivers have no intention of going pro, they just want to have a good time on the water a few times a year. If some simple technology makes that easier, why would anyone discourage it?
So for something called "ski mode" the best test you could muster up was to pull some tubers? come on man. It can't be that hard to find a waterskier or a wakeboarder to test out how well it holds a speed for them and how it feels.
Our subject couldn't stay up on a wakeskate for very long, so we filmed the kids on the raft instead.
Exactly, especially after showing how to fit it..😅
4:04 , you nearly catapulted your teenage rider into the shore.... bloody irresponsible
Max Flight we literally were trying to launch him, and we were incredibly far from shore. That’s the point of towing a raft. (You can also hear him yelling “Faster!”)
