The title of this article undersells the absolute dynasty that the Sea-Doo RXP-X holds over the Pro Open IJSBA World Championship. In its sixth year in a row, the RXP-X has swept the title from any other contender. Moreover, the RXP-X has almost dominated the Pro GP class for the past six years, making it the runabout of choice for the world’s fastest, most aggressive racers bar none.

Hungary’s György Kasza and Waleen Alsharshani of Qatar brought the heat to the Pro Open and Pro GP classes, respectively. In Pro Open, Kasza was not the only Sea-Doo racer, but was joined by both Mohammed Burbayea of Kuwait and Jun Ikoma Funabashi of Japan, who also piloted RXP-X’s through the finish line ahead of a field of the world’s most impressive runabout contenders.

Here’s the press release issued earlier today:
The Sea-Doo X-TEAM continued the domination of world finals watercraft racing, claiming 11 championships*, nearly double that of the closest competing brand. György Kasza of Hungary continued to build the Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft dynasty with his repeat win in the premier Pro Open class bringing the total in that class to six years running. Kasza was joined on the podium by RXP-X mounted racers Mohammed Burbayea of Kuwait and Jun Ikoma Funabashi of Japan for a Pro Open clean sweep for the Sea-Doo X-TEAM.

Also adding to the dynasty is the sixth consecutive PRO GP championship win with Waleen Alsharshani of Qatar, taking the top spot on his Sea-Doo RXP-X followed by fellow X-TEAM riders, James Bushell of the UK and Erminio Iantosca of the US filling out the podium. The event, attended by the top riders in the world, proved the dynasty of performance dominance lives with the Sea-Doo 300-HP watercraft models. The 2017 Sea-Doo RXP-X 300 and RXT-X 300 come equipped with a new ROTAX 1630 ACE engine, that together with the new Ergolock system, allows riders to enjoy more performance, confidence and greater control to push limits even further.
