It wasn’t too long ago when The Watercraft Journal took the RIVA Racing Stage III kit-equipped ’18 Sea-Doo RXT-X 300 to task. The day provided allowed us plenty of time to flog the machine that very clearly was exceeding the factory spec of 300-horsepower, as well as far surpassing the machine’s 68mph maximum speed – as we regularly ticked the clock at 83 miles per hour. In our assessment, the Stage III kit was what one needed to turn the already riveting RXT-X into a doomsday device.
But of course, the heavily-modified Sea-Doo was far more than most folks would want. It simply was a monster. And, considering the added $3,600 required over the cost of the near-$16,000 MSRP of the Sea-Doo itself, and you were looking down the barrel of almost $20,000. That alone would deter quite a few folks, be them speed demons or not. So what if we told you that such an equipped Sea-Doo could be yours for nearly $5,000 off? You’d think we were crazy or the vehicle itself was in question. Well, prepare to be surprised:
Such an equipped ’18 Sea-Doo recently went up for sale on the Greenhulk.net Facebook group. The seller, listing the ski for $15,900, wrote: “For sale: 2018 RXT-X 300 Stage III RIVA complete kit!
