Sea-Doo Gtx Rfi 5887

 This unit has 44 hours. Includes COM FAB INC Trailer Model PWT 1000.

 GTX RFI

 This is the model that started it all and it returns for 1999 with only a few minor changes. Like the GSX RFI, its electronic fuel injection uses a new chip that improves high altitude performance and cleans up the bottom end, and the safe mode has been made less drastic.

Otherwise, everything else is the same as it was last year. The craft will again be powered by the same two cylinder 782cc RAVE engine with electronic fuel injection, essentially the same engine as the GSX RFI.

Power is transferred to the water through the Bombardier Formula Jet Pump, essentially the same pump found throughout most of the Sea-Doo lineup, with a stainless steel impeller pitched at 16/24 degrees. It includes a forward/neutral/reverse system that is activated by a lever located on the left side of the console, allowing you to use it in tandem with the throttle, a big bonus when towing skiers.

The hull and deck are identical to last year. The 123 x 46.9 inch, full-V multi-chine hull is made with fiberglass and features hooked sponsons on either side of the hull. The GTX RFI looks like last year’s version, including the unique “Champagne and Ice White” color scheme and the fake mahogany finish on the glove box.

The two-part seat is angled in the driver area and offers well-positioned handholds for the passenger. The craft also features tilt steering (it moves from 30.5 inches to 33 inches).

Standard features include analog speedometer and tachometer and an LCD multi-function gauge that includes fuel and oil gauge, hour meter, low fuel, oil, voltage and overheat warnings, compass, trip meter and clock, air and water temperature, average and peak speed and various maintenance information. The gauges are recessed in the hood, in front of the handlebars. The craft also features dual mirrors and a true tow rope hook.

Like all of Sea-Doo’s models, the GTX RFI features Sea-Doo’s Digital Electronic Security System, which uses a lanyard fitted with a computer chip encoded with a specific code for your boat.

There’s plenty of on-board storage — 26 gallons in all — including a standard compartment in the bow with two twist-off watertight containers, a storage cooler underneath the back part of the seat and the smaller glove box on the console. The fuel tank holds 15 gallons, with three gallons in reserve. (The reserve comes on automatically because of the RFI.) The oil reservoir is 1.6 gallons.
