Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Sea-Doo GTX 230 2027 vs Sea-Doo RXT-X 350 2027: Same Brand, Different Boat
The spec sheets list the Sea-Doo GTX 230 2027 as st3 hull and the Sea-Doo RXT-X 350 2027 as st3 hull, so check how each hull rides in the conditions you use before you decide.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 350 hp, the Sea-Doo RXT-X 350 2027 has a 120-hp advantage over the Sea-Doo GTX 230 2027's 230-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 19 gal and 19 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 3 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Sea-Doo RXT-X 350 2027 and its 350-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Sea-Doo GTX 230 2027 with its 230-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
