They said the 85 Apex ski's destined for Australia were already spoken for but get on the phone to dealers to check availability, well if they were already spoken for why should I call to check stock availability? makes no sense. I was down at the dealer yesterday (2 days after this video was released) and even they didn't know when and how many Apex ski's they can get. So it seems to me the claims made in this video aren't congruent with what the dealers know.
Thanks for your feedback. That information we published was based on interviews with Australia's biggest Sea-Doo dealers in Utah for the unveiling of the 2023 Sea-Doo line-up. Most Australian dealers we spoke with (over the phone while they were on the conference centre floor) said they had sold out, others said they had one or two unsold from their allocation. There is also the possibility some deals may fall over, which could open up availability. For now, we have been told only 85 Apex editions are coming to Australia. This could change if demand in Australia is sky high, and there is spare capacity if another country does not take all of their allocation.
2023 everything you need to know . WELL NOT EXACTLY. BRP deleted the depth finder on the gtx Ltd 300 . Nobody told me , pretty Greasy move and still a big secret . Thanks BRP
Released today. Here is a link to the story. Video live shortly. Sorry we couldn't flag the timing earlier,. Yamaha WaveRunner kept 2023 timing under wraps this year. watercraftzone.com.au/2023-yamaha-waverunner-prices-and-model-changes/
I’m very new in this world. Can anyone please advise me which one to buy? An rxt-x 300 or a gtx 300 limited ? I’m not a professional or anything jus buying it for the joy and it’s gone be used in the sea of Spain. Thanks a lot!!
rxt x is more like racing, performance. Light weight and hard handling. gtx is also fast, but not as rxt x, its heavier because it has suspension which provides soft riding
If you're riding in the ocean, the larger Sea-Doo ST3 platform is the way to go. If you're talking about the 2022/2023 models, you are choosing between two supercharged versions on the same ST3 platform. So they will ride the same, have the same 300hp motor, and have the exact same top deck and storage etc. The main differences (apart from colour and trim): the RXT-X has launch control and the Limited does not. Choose the colour combination you prefer. Hope this helps, apologies for the delayed reply.
I hear you, but Jet Ski has become a generic term over the past decade or so. We use Yamaha WaveRunner and Sea-Doo watercraft and Kawasaki Jet Ski when we have them together in one story. However, when terms such as "personal watercraft" are used in isolation, not everyone knows what that means. Even the TV news has picked up Jet Ski as a generic term. Thanks for sharing. Hope you understand where we're coming from.
We have nothing but respect for Kevin Shaw and what he has built-up with Watercraft Journal. We're just doing our bit in this part of the world. Thanks for watching.
WHAT!? 26 to 30k for a freaking seadoo that at most hold 3 people uncomfortably bahahahahahaha! No f@#$ing way are they worth that. You cam buy a boat for that and you and your family/friends can go explore in something that doesnt look like a Honda gullwing and a snow mobile had a baby lmao!! Absolutely not worth it. Oh a boat can't go in water like a pwc can? Well there are plenty of boat manufacturers that have jet drives in the boat line up.
Now that Yamaha WaveRunner and Kawasaki Jet Ski have released 2023 prices for Australia, it's worth noting all three mainstream personal watercraft brands now have models that eclipse $30,000. They're certainly getting up there in price, but they also have more tech than before.
Consumer determines the price, please use all this outrage and energy to study how costs are set in supply and demand principles so you don’t make a fool of yourself. These toys are not for everyone, when you’ll bring enough value to the market be compensated 30k a week, in 5 days you can get a ski. Not so expensive then, is it? I wouldn’t want broke folks with 300hp on the water around me. They broke for a reason.
Well some of us have “lazy “ teenagers ! When you trailer the boat home and it’s time to rinse it and pack away. A SeaDoo is so much easier than a boat ! The teenagers disappear… I can handle this on my own.
That argument comes up a lot (especially given the recent price rises), though Jet Skis are still handy when it comes to shallow water, low-speed manoeuvring, and storage of the craft when it is off the water.

If you want to ship it, I have one for sale that's in my showroom. I was allocated a few,.sold a few and have a few more.

@@cagsanozbek4210 I thought Sea Doo discontinued their suspension in 2016?
Why would you buy a Kawasaki or Yamaha ? Pray tell ?
It is not a flippin Jet Ski 😩 Sea Doo, manufactured by BRP - Not Kawasaki 😤

What is this channel? A wannabe knock off of The watercraft journal ? This is Kevin Shaw or is it ?
No, this is Watercraft Zone. We are based in Sydney Australia. Also, our accents are a little different.
Who this guy think he is Kevin? Lol! 😝

At that price point it better be able to drive on land as well

Inflation bud.
@@braveheart9658 nah that's just price gouging bud.
Just buy a boat.
