If there’s one thing you can count on as race season starts to crack wide open, it’s this: the performance world doesn’t sit still. And just as the buzz builds from early-season showdowns like the East Coast Watercross Winter Series and Pro Watercross’ Round 1 in Orange, Texas, rolling straight into a major kickoff weekend with IHRA St. Pete Season Opener, the aftermarket is hitting the throttle right alongside it.
Yesterday, RIVA Racing dropped word of a fresh round of performance upgrades aimed squarely at the already potent 2024-and-newer Sea-Doo 325 horsepower platforms—and these aren’t mild tweaks.
Turning Up the Boost on 325 Powerplants
Leading the charge are new supercharger upgrade options built around RIVA’s “XX-Charger” platform:
Both are designed to extract more from the factory 325hp setup—pushing harder on airflow, boost efficiency, and ultimately, power delivery. For riders already flirting with the upper edge of stock performance, this is where things start to get serious.
Stage 3 Kits Step Into the Spotlight
Alongside the charger upgrades, RIVA also released Stage 3 Performance Kits tailored for:
If you’ve been around the performance scene for more than five minutes, you already know what that “Stage 3” label implies—this is well beyond bolt-on curiosity. These kits are typically engineered as complete performance ecosystems, where airflow, fueling, and boost all work together to transform how the ski behaves on the water.
Right On Time for a Season Gaining Momentum
The timing here isn’t accidental. As race calendars start filling up and riders shift from winter tinkering to full-send weekends, products like these land right at the time of year when “maybe I’ll leave it stock” quietly turns into “how far can I push this thing?”
More To Come
We’ll be reaching out to RIVA Motorsports and the crew at RIVA Racing to dig deeper into what these upgrades really mean—how they change the power curve, what kind of gains riders can realistically expect, and where they fit into different riding styles, from closed-course aggression to straight-line speed.
For now, one thing’s clear: the 325 platform just got a whole lot more interesting.
And with the season ramping up fast, don’t expect things to slow down anytime soon.
