I'll play here. First run on the GTX after a ground up resto.
First test run of the new trailer and the 96 XP. 'Twas a good weekend.
Longest run on the GTX to date. 22 miles.

I really like the look w/o the extra chrome, did you do a write up anywhere on how/what you did ? (I've been looking for a green RXP on and off for the past year just haven't come across one for the right price) It's one of my favorite color schemes.

Here's what I did:
- Remove decals.
- Wet sand and polish.
- New black hoses on top of the hood, Rigid 1 7/8" replacement shop vac hose from Home Depot works great.
- Painted the chrome trim on the hood black.
- Painted the chrome side grills black.
- Painted the green trim pieces on the sides behind the rubber knee pads black.
- Replaced the silver knee pads with black from a different year RXP.
- Replaced the green rub rail inserts with black ones.
- Jettrim all black seat cover with black carbon fiber sides.
- Black Tip checker plate mats.
I also installed:
- 4" intake.
- ET127 wheel in the charger and 42lb injectors.
- RIVA rear exhaust.
- Prop repitch, 15/20 IIRC.
It would GPS at 74mph with a pull that would straighten your arms and put a smile on your face. We do a lot of ocean riding and it was not a fun ride when it got choppy that's the biggest reason I sold it and kept the 05 GTX.

Thanks very much... and ya, I've been told by several peeps to go with 08+ if I want to ride in the heavy chop. My two current ski's really suck in anything over 2' out in the open water, if I got an older RXP i'd have 3 ski's that suck in chop,
But.... the older ones can be quite reasonable although some updates would be needed. I should probably hold off and get a newer one when I stumble across the right deal.

ahh. ok.. I stand correctd then, maybe I was confused re: 08+ because they won't need the updated valves & such.
my ride buddy has the new hull 13' RXPX with some mods, we're dead even on the flats but he pulls away from me in the chop.

I just started into this obsession this year.
The first ski, pulled out of a snow bank in Feb.
Now
Then came the (first) GTX
Then fun with wakeboard and tubing
Um, these skis don't cut out too much of a boats wake! The tubes can fly! (two 12 year olds in it, stuck the landing!)
Then two more GTXs into the garage
One died
The start of the new project
This GTX is going black and white. New seat ordered on Black Friday Black, White and Silver, all carbon fiber look.
Cant wait to get started and looking forward to SPRING!

Thanks man. Can't wait to add finished pics of my 95. I feel bad for my 96, I think I rode it 3 or 4 times this season. Other than that it was my rental unit that I put people on when we went riding so I could take the HX. I love the boat and really want to get an inflatable water trampoline next summer, the kids will love that.
