1995 GTX newbie questions

80 HP on the 95 I believe. the same motor as on the 95 spx.
 >> Stay informed about: 1995 GTX newbie questions 

Could be... but I know the 94 was 70hp, and the 95 still had a 650 in it.
*shrug* the boat didn't change much except for the mirrors, and gas tank
size...
I had a whole lotta fun on my 94GTX though! and it's still alive and well
in Motown! (sold it to a friend)

I know the 95 XP had 85 hp ..

at any rate, all TAME by today's standards ! it's funny, what we thought
was BIG then, is laughable now ..

times a changin!

I have 2 of them.

85 HP. Not much you can do to the motor to gain more speed. 45 to 50 is
tops. I installed better impellors and intake grates with a scoop. I
gained 5 mph that way alone.

You may want to get your carbs cleaned and check all your hoses. Some of
them break apart as they get old. Change the pump oil. You can bet it has
not been changed in quite some time, and probably has some water in it.
That will kill the bearings and cost you big time.

It is worth it to have the ski checked by a good Seadoo mechanic if it has
been sitting for a while. You dont want to get stuck out somewhere with no
help.

Both of my skis run great and I have had no problems.

Hmm.. Well according to what I can find, he's right.

80 hp 650 engine.

the 85 hp was the 720 in the XP in 95 , and in the GTI in 96..

at least that's what the ref sez!..

According to the book I have, the 95 GTX has a 657 at 85HP. Then it goes
into a big safety speech.

I will check it again, cause I could be wrong.
