On flat water they are pretty close. The RX is a little faster on top end. In the chop it isn't close. The RX has a big advantage. The RX-DI will beat the 1200r in the chop.

I just pulled a RXDI and XPL today in the chop.. but it even gets better, I had a passenger on also. Was running right around 65 mph with 2 up on the GPR with a ppk and solas 13/19.
I want some of what Frewman is smoking!

first of all, sloww is talking about a 99 gp12 not a 1200R, and while the rx might be a little faster than the older gp I would still tke it over a doo. The 1200R is the clear winner over the rx, unless the R rider just cant ride.

That's funny because I've always walked GPR's in the chop. Not even close. The RX hull is far Superior to the GPR hull and light years ahead of the older GP hull. Sloww, my 02 RX-DI GPS's at 62mph all day long with a top GPS of 63mph. That's pretty much what a GPR does, so you can see the difference. Out of the hole you should be close to the RX but the GPR would be way behind both the RX and the GP because it's a fat pig out of the hole.
i went up against and RX and an XPL wen i had a GP. It was bone stock. the conditions were a little choppy. i pulled away from the RX and stayed with the XP until i started porpoising and e just ran away from me.

That's the problem with the older gp hull. When they start to porpoise it's all over. At least they are more fun to ride then the couch they came out with in 2000.

Frew,, check out the RXX.. same hull as the RXDI and in really rough water 2' to 3' chop it is an absolute joke . Is chop to you 1' high. These GPRs your running against must have those flat water Riva plates on if your passing them in chop.
BTW, today with Raider we were running 64.9 mph up current with a passenger on board. My GPR yanks the RX PP1 out of the hole and on top. Again just ask Yvonne about her RX PP1 from your beloved seadoo board.
You must have been to Amsterdamm recently to purchase some good weed. Hey, its all what you think anyway so keep kicking those GPR's.

That's where you are wrong. The RXX and the RX-DI have totally different hulls. The RX-DI actually handles better then the RXX in the chop. At least that's what the guys on .net say. I even have a buddy on this board with a GPR has stayed even with me. He has everything on his ski except the factory pipes. The simple answer is the porpoising and the fact that the GPR cannot hook up well. He was ****** . His does GPS at 68mph on flat water, but that doesn't matter when it comes to rough water. I'm just posting the facts that I have seen.
The RX hull is a joke, the RXX's hull is identical but has a different pump and handling package. Both are very hard to fix when a GP can be made fairly good in the chop. I never lost in front of an RX with a single piped GP and the only time i raced an RXX it was with a triple and I wasted him pretty bad. 11

Nothing can come close to an RX DI. Thats why they dominate all the races. Offer him some money to lose to you so you are not embarrased in front of your friends and family.
All joking aside it should be pretty close go for it. What year is your GP? If it is a 98 or 99 you should be getting 60-61 mph when your tank is around 1/4 full. If it is a 97 59mph will be your best unless you change the reduction nozzle.
(I see its a 99).
You should put a R&D intake grate and Riva limited ride plate on it. That will help with handling.
I think rider skill will make a big difference in this one. How many hours have you ridden and how aggressive do you ride?

Race him stock to stock. Don't be ashamed to lose. That's what I love about the Yamaha guys. Just let me put on a 13/19 or an intake grate or a pump plug kit. BAAWWWWAAAHHH!!!! All I had to do with my RX-DI is stick it in the water and go! And it's still faster then all these Yami's. Why do you guys need all this junk all over your ski's to win?? Why not try to race an RX-DI 100% stock to stock???

Last time I checked this wasn't a stock Sea Doo forum. I bet when you were modding your 800 you were posting about beating every Sea Doo ever made. Check your private messages, reality is trying to get a hold of you.

I'm talking about my stock RX-DI. I don't need impellers or plug kits or trim tabs or etc ect ect.... It's always, "well if I had my 13/19 and my rev limiter raised and my pro-tec power valve controller then I would have beat you". Please! The bottom line is the RX-DI is faster then the GPR in stock form. Anyone can mod both of them. The other thing that makes me crack up is I can go three times as long as the GPR and I can go backwards on top of it. he he he!!! RTub that salt in the wound a little more. Ouch!!
You guys are nuts!!! I dont care if it's a gpr, if you are stock you are losing to the rxdi. You bounce, your valves close, you hit like a brick. If you get on the glass you will probably eeck out the rx, but how often are you on glass? The porposing hurts the gpr, fix that with plate mods or xl noz. and your speed drops. The 99gp will probably run faster in the chop since it doesnt have the valves, just keep it from porposing. Sounds like the two ski's are rated same top speed.
Well Frewman, when we tell you a GP800 is slower than a 1200 (which you still aren't able to swallow), that's what you do, you start talking about your new impeller, F/As and other mods then you say "the 800 beats the 1200". 11

You are forgetting the problem you had with your RXDI when you purchased it and told everyone no this forum how you were going to sell it asap..
Hows your memory doing?
Also that RXX hull is identical to the RXX as 11 mentioned. Why do you allways have incorrect info?
I never had a problem with my ski??? Anyways, the RXX isn't the same hull as the RX-DI. When I find the information I will post it so you can look stupid again. You don't remember the recall on the RXX's for the hulls cracking and leaking because they were built thin??? It's not the same hull. This is funny trying to communicate with the galactically stupid.
