2002 Sea Doo Pwc Gtx Di Test Details

    Personal watercraft manufacturers have faced many
challenges in recent years, making their machines quieter, more
efficient and safer.

    Bombardier, for one, has tried several different
routes to reduce emissions – Rotax Fuel Injection (RFI), Direct Fuel
Injection (based on Australian Orbital technology that is also used in
Mercury’s OptiMax engines) and now, four-stroke technology (see above
article).

    This year, as well as introducing one of the first
four-stroke-powered personal watercraft, Sea-Doo has kept its Direct
Injection engines. Since Bombardier also now owns the FICHT
direct-injection two-stroke technology used in Evinrude outboards
ourboard engines as well as Kawasaki and Polaris PWCs, it seems likely
that Sea-Doo will eventually instal FICHT-technology engines in its
watercraft.

    In the meantime, though, the three-seat
touring-style GTX DI features the new-style GTX hull and Sea-Doo’s
innovative and effective Off Power Assisted Steering (O.P.A.S.) along
with a strong argument for keeping DI technology – a newly designed
130-hp DI engine.

    Working closely with Orbital representatives,
Sea-Doo’s engineers rejigged the DI’s combustion chambers, reducing the
number of ports from six to five.  The changes help the engine
pump out more torque.

    While the hull and engine changes don’t make the
2002 GTX DI faster at top end than last year’s version (with the
old-style GTX hull), acceleration is greatly improved, as are mid-range
cruising speeds.

    While many (myself included) believed it would be
impossible to improve on the GTX hull – arguably the finest combination
of close-quarters handling and big-wave,  high-seas comfort – the
new GTX hull seems to have maintained the old one’s big-water
capabilities while providing sportier close-quarters handling.

    With the torque-laden punch of the DI engine and the
sporty performance of the new  GTX hull the Sea-Doo GTX DI,
available in blue or green colour schemes, is sure to be a top
watercraft contender.

SEADOO WATERCRAFT; LEAVE EVERYTHING ELSE BEHIND

SeaDoo accounted for nearly one of every two watercraft sold in 2005 and for good reason – Sea Doo has been the industry leader in product design, innovation and production. 

SeaDoo introduced the first sit-down watercraft in 1968, the first three-passenger watercraft in 1990, the first high-performance watercraft in 1991, the first Runabout National Champion and the first two-time winner of "Watercraft of the Year" in 1992, the first industry "Best Buy" in 1993, the first watercraft suspension in 1995, the first computerized theft deterrent system in 1996, the third Sea Doo "Watercraft of the Year" winner in 1997, the first mass-produced fuel-injected watercraft in 1998, the first manufacturer with significant sound reduction throughout our watercraft line in 1999, the first "Watercraft of the Century" winner, the first "Watercraft of the Year" winner for the new millennium, the first Marine manufacturer to win the "Designs of the Decade" medal from the IDSA in 2000. First watercraft to surpass 200 hp with the 2004 215 hp Sea Doo RXPTM. And in 2005 SeaDoo introduced the first 3 passenger muscle craft in the industry with the SeaDoo RXTTM. 

They say "live for the moment." At SeaDoo we know which moment that is. You hit the water. Your thumb greets the throttle. And you leave everything else behind. You take your water time seriously. So do we. With a Sea Doo watercraft, it's not just land you're leaving behind. It's your job. Your bills. Not to mention every other brand on the market. Because when it comes to performance, innovation, and quality - not to mention flat-out family fun - SeaDoo watercrafts continue to serve as the industry's high-water mark. You'll see it in the cutting-edge design of all our watercraft regardless of the segment. Nothing sets you apart faster out on the water. And you'll see it in our brilliantly conceived features, delivering the perfect balance of power, performance and fun to every type of rider. 

In 2009, SeaDoo watercraft give you more reasons than ever to Leave Everything Else Behind.
