2022 Sea-Doo RXP-X 300 — Should You Buy One?

Typical asking price: $14,500–$18,500. There are 2 high-severity known issues you need to know before handing over a check.

Kestrel Take

The corner-carving muscle-ski — the RXP-X 300's narrow, aggressive hull and 300 supercharged horses make it the choice for riders who want maximum agility and adrenaline. As with any supercharged Sea-Doo, the supercharger rebuild history is the critical check, and these get ridden very hard. A documented, freshwater RXP-X 300 with a rebuilt supercharger and clean compression is a thrilling ski; skip the neglected ones.
