You Can Own James Bushell’s Insane Turbo Sea-Doo RXP


We’ve been posting quite a bit of racing coverage this week, and while we’d like to take a much needed breather from the fast-paced world of PWC competition, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention how you (yes, you!) can own the one of the fastest machines to have scorched the water.

Ten-time World Champion James Bushell of 158 Performance is selling his wicked Sea-Doo Centre-built turbocharged Sea-Doo RXP-X.

Handcrafted for the 2013 IJSBA World Finals, Bushell later took the very same custom runabout to Dubai to compete, wherein the Lincolnshire, England native proved his 500-horsepower machine was clearly capable of 90 miles-per-hour, with staggering acceleration of 0-to-80mph in two seconds.

Details pertaining to the build are still kept under lock and key, so to learn the true in’s and out’s, you’ll have to contact Bushell directly. For those interested in dramatically stepping up their game, the #158 Sea-Doo does come in custom livery, including this detailed wrap and paint scheme.

The savvy onlooking will note the hood and cowling from a GTI/GTR, as Bushell notes the GTI models have a lower center of gravity over the RXP-X.

Clearly a new billet steering neck and sponsons, Jettrim seat and mats and large diameter Skat-Trak pump and impeller are only a few of the long list of goods included. This wicked ski can be yours for £14,999 (or $25,500), which is really affordable when you consider the cost of a new RXP-X, the parts and labor invested to build, tune and test the new powertrain, and the custom components designed specifically for it.
