i was reading over wikipedia trying to figure out what ski i have and i ran across this.
The 1997 XP was a marked departure from the previous models. An all new hull specific to the XP was developed which brought a "lean in" style of riding to the craft. Further enhancing this was Sea-Doo's "Direct Action Suspension," a raised seat that was mounted on a pivot and had a shock absorber at the opposite end. The 110HP 782cc engine was carried over, as was the predominantly yellow with black accents color scheme.3 The 1997 boat was over 90 lbs heavier than the 1996 boat, which resulted in slower acceleraion from the previous year although realizing a top speed gain by about 1 mph. Nonetheless, the riding experience was enough for the XP to win WaterCraft World's Watercraft of the Year award in 1997.4
For 1998, the power to weight issue was solved by the new XP Limited model. This craft was powered by a 951cc (called a Type 947 )engine with reed valves on the intake and R.A.V.E. valves on the exhaust. The new engine produced 130HP and pushed the 1998 XP to 60 mph. Graphically, the lower hull, cowling, and handle pole cover were now black, and the hood and cowling pod were metallic gray.
their is no mention in the wikipedia about their being a limited for the 1997 model year. but the 1998 says the lower hull,cowling,and handle pole are metalic silver i have the cowling thats grey
i thought my title said 1997 but i may have over looked it and just assumed.
hear are some pics maybe someone can pick out what i have and direct me in the right direction.
hear is a few pics of the ski i own
if their is any other pics i need to help determine let me know.
