So I am trying to gain an understanding of how each model was represented by Seadoo and ultimately how that changed over the years.
This is a good starting point: http://www.seadoosource.com/seadoomodelreference.html
But, I want to know a bit more info
For example:
The XP has always been their "Factory Race Ski" and in 97 it entered into a new hull design, it was less preferred by the racers? And they kept making the 800 powered X4 hull under the designation SPX until 99. Why was this? Was there such a demand for the X4 hull at that time or did they simply want to continue using the old tooling and molds they had on hand? What were Seadoo factory racers running in 97,98,99?
So if the X4 hull design seen on the XP and later SPX were the racing craft of the day where were the other 2 seat designs positioned?
XP 92-96 (Factory Racing Ski?) - One seater?
GSX 96-99 The actual 2 seat ski
HX?
Let me know what you think Seadoo was trying to do back then in your opinion, and what was the racing scene thinking in the same era?
