Seadoo GTX and SPX questions . . .

Investigating a '96 GTX and '97 SPX:

Does either have an hour meter? I've ridden a '98 GTX and know that year
does. If no hour meter, guess it just comes back to how they run, sound and
look to tell engine wear.

Is the speedo dying a common problem on the GTX? Easy to fix? This GTX's
does not work.

Any words of wisdom on these years for the 789 cc Bombardier engines?


Thanks!

The hours on both of these boats can be read by a dealer using special
equipment. The engine hours are stored in the system electronics (MPEM).

Besides being horribly inaccurate, the speedos die on a regular basis. The
first thing to check is to make sure the "paddlewheel" is still intact on
the back of the boat.. located to the side of the jet pump exit on the "ride
plate".

The "800" engines are robust and excellent performers. Probably one of the
finest and most reliable engines ever made by Bombardier/Rotax/SeaDoo.
