- The Seadoo GSX Limited 951cc has been on my bucket list of classic jetskis to find, since the very beginning. I have seen so many come up over the years, but always falling short of the checklist of things I look for, one being super low hours.
As far as classic Seadoos go, it doesn’t get much better than this. This ski has 37 hours from new, it is pristine cosmetic condition, with it all being completely OEM, no aftermarket mods, all the original paperwork, including the original purchase receipt.
Watch along as I get my hands on a Seadoo that I have been chasing for over 3 years...this marks the 7th ski to add to the collection, and for all the carb fans, you finally got your wish, I have a 951cc with a carb not the Di!

I’ve been watching Seadoo videos on TH-cam for a few years now. You just came across my feed this morning. Excellent video. Great production quality. I recently started my channel, and have realized that the video and editing takes more work than fixing the ski does 😂. Keep up the great work. You gained two new subs today. ~Josh Nine Finger Wrenching
Aww thanks man, great feedback means alot, as like you know theres alot that goes into making these...even the smallest of details can be tricky like getting permission to film on these days... I have just checked out your channel and also subscribed...love the carb videos... I could do with you living closer to me 😂 Thanks for watching and supporting dude.
As an American I love your videos. I never knew vintage Jet Skis were a thing. I have 2 1996 GTXs that my father purchased new. So now I definitely appreciate them more.
Thank you I really appreciate that means a lot 🙏 love that you have had gtx’s in the family that long so cool man 😍
Dam!! Looks brand new!! Got to give that guy credit for keeping it so nice
Thanks man, I know right…he did a very good job at keeping it so tidy and in good running order. Nothing better than finding and meeting these great classic owners 👌 thanks for watching
Swap out the oil tank for a 96 or 97 model GTX oil tank as they are seamless and wont leak oil. That ski is mint, wish I still had mine!
This made me chuckle as this is one of the first things I did... The only thing about the seamless as whilst they sit onto the fuel tank there not quite as good a fit as the seamed ones... Worth it though vs oil leaks. Thanks for watching and appreciating this classic✌
1750 wow! A ski in that condition in Michigan would be 4000 plus
Uk market is different than you guys, I was very happy with what we got it for...crazy what different people think...some people say we paid too much...its mad. Thanks for watching 🙌
We just got one yesterday same model and year with a trailer. A guy paid us to remove it and it has done less than 10 hours. He bought it in 1999, rode it twice and never had time to use it again. It’s an absolute beauty, it has no damage and looks like brand new.
Nice man, really great find there 🙏👌👌 I love hearing the story’s when the owner has not used it much but kept it stored away 🔥 thanks for watching
I don't think some people understand what this channel is about. The way I see it Joe is collecting old school jet skis and keeping them running. I don't think in any one of his videos Joe has said that any of the skis are the best and you should buy the clue is in the channel name classic jetskis . Keep up the good work Joe 👍
Thanks Andy appreciate the support and appreciation for what I'm trying to do... Its exactly that, my mission is to keep 'All classics alive' I love all of my skis collected thus far for different reasons and I'm receptive to learning the good and bad about them all. Thanks for watching ✌✌
Beautiful ski, can’t beat the old two strokes for power to weight and outright fun for what you pay
I know right! This is one of my main arguments or buying old vs new... for as little as £1000 you can get out on the water and have so much fun! Thanks for watching and appreciation for this classic 👌👌
What an awesome find I would do anything to have one in that good of shape, but we have had two just like this one since new. I have videos of them running on my channel.
Cheers dude, I'm pretty buzzing with this find...just checked out your gsxl videos...love it... Please make more videos on it dude
@@classicjetskis Thanks , Will do
Just stumbled on your channel, love seeing these older Seadoo's
I just bought my wife a 2000 seadoo GS 720cc in amazing shape, I'd say a 7 outta 10 condition, I was amazed when I went to pick it up how clean it was!! And I got a awesome deal!!
Anyway love the content!!
Thanks man, really appreciate that 💪 Great find...is the 2000 the yellow or red/burgundy one? Sounds pretty clean, hope she enjoys it mate. Thanks for watching and supporting ✌
It's the white and burgundy one, tops out at around 50mph, not bad for a 2000 GS in my opinion
Nice man... thats good 50mph... the 951 99 ltd I have does 63 which is mega still to this day... Enjoy man
Gotcha beat, my 99 SeaDoo xp has 26 hours 😂
Nice man, love to hear this as means there are more clean low hours out there... You may have me beat but I have 10 clean classics, 7 of which are all below 50 hours so I think I win 😉 Thanks for watching dude 💪💪 Make sure you re-commission and ride that XP to keep it going.
holy cow its a beautiful treasure of a find!
Really appreciate that dude...she really is stunning...now since ceramic coated and the shine is to die for!
Nice channel. I appreciate the 90s Sea Doo love. One of my first restorations was a 99 GSX Limited with 150 hard hours on it. Was a fun flip. Since then a 99 XPL, 98 GTXL, 96 XP787 and just this weekend i finally picked up the one i always wanted since i was a teen. The 98 GSXL with the red on red hull in incredible shape for only $800! Absolute steal. Im big on keeping it original but man a 98 GSXL with all the purple switched to black is probably the sexiest looking SeaDoo they would have ever made. Sometimes the factory gets it wrong lol.
Anyways, I appreciate what u do and dont pay no mind to the talentless trolls with no mechanical skills whatsoever whos buddy said this or that about Sea Doos being junk lol… so pathetic 🤦🏼♂️. Keep doing ur thing.
Thanks dude really appreciate the love and support! Dude what a list you have had and worked on... the 99 XPL is a great ski and a lot of people argue is the sweet spot for the 4th gen XP... also lucky boy the XP 96, those hulls are so loved in the community. The question is how do you ever let them go... that's gunna be my problem eventually I'm running out of room fast... I'm thinking of switching to putting all skis on showroom dollys and then keep 1 or 2 good trailers to switch as and when I want to ride each...
The 98 GSXL is also as much as it pains me to say as I bought this 99 GSXL is also my fav colours, I actually love the red and purple combo...however I do like the decals more on the 99...either way when they are as clean as this one I just couldn't say no... 37 original hours is dream stuff (for me at least).
I would love to see some of your restores dude.
Also thanks for the backing and supporting, the junk comment is mad to me but luckily I've got a good bunch of subs that get my passion and what I'm trying to do, thanks for stopping by & watching 🙌🙌👍👍
The 951 is def not the most friendly motor, when compared to the 717 or 787. Massive power in the hole tho, and tons of fun especially jumping waves. I'll probably keep my 96 SPX forever, just can't really imagine selling it. Bought it for 1500us and have put about 800 into it, restoring to original MPEM drive shaft oem impeller and carbon seal. Oh and rebuilt the pump with new seals and bearings since I had it off. Love the x4 its ridiculously fun to throw around. Cheers
@@user-ej1bq4bq2w Soooo you got me thinking...now have a x4 717 1995.... can't wait to get out on it and experience the x4 hull. ✌✌
@@classicjetskis Sounds like an XP. Here in the states the Xp 800 is widely considered to be the best ski ever produced. My 96 spx is the same everything as 95 xp 717, just different graphics and colors. I chose the 717 because I didn't want to worry about rave valves, and can run tcw3 oil instead of the more expensive amsoil or interceptor.
Plus I'm 150lbs so can get up to abt 54 mph on the spx, and I'm cool with that. Cheers
@@user-ej1bq4bq2w Yep your bang on dude...Its the 1995 xp 717, which is still the x4 hull but with the rear pump extension. The 1995 xp800 was launched later in 1995 i believe so Seadoo could race it, I think they had manufacture and produce it to race it, so they released the xp800 late in 95 hence why they are so rare... anyway I wanted the OG 717 as its the first using the X4 hull so in my book its the OG 3rd gen xp model.... The 1996 SPX yes its essentially the 1995 xp 717 but came packaged in the blue/green colour...I remember it so well as it was in that 'Speed out of control' cruise ship movie... actually really love the colour of the 1996 spx but for me I think if your talking spx's you have to go for the later 1997 to 1999 as they had the 800 and were essentially the xp800 1996...In 1997 the xp switched to the 4th gen spring seat design... I want a 1999 spx as it has the hump seat like the OG 1995 xp800. I actually prefer the 1996 xp800 to the 1995 xp800 as it has the mirror pods...
Wow very nice video and clean ski
Thanks dude, glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 👍👍
Wow ! If Siri is correct you got that ski for about 2000 USD!?! Crazy good deal mate
aha yeh man your correct £1750 which is just over $2000, it was listed for just over £2000 however there was an oil leak, needed a new battery, new key, cover repaired so managed to get a bit off (well I say me, the old man did 😂😂) I have since sorted the issues so really happy with the ski, its so clean!
Now we have 2 of the same skis, 1991 XP and 1999 GSXL. I think I may have you beat with the CLEANEST GSXL though :) and only 34 hours. Should have it going this week or next. I had a Gray Ghost (1997.5 GSXL) back around 1999-2003, it was the best ski. I would still love to get the XP graphics redone like you did.
That's epic dude! I now have a x4 717 1995 aswell... Fire me a pic of your GSXL on Insta dude, would love to see it...34 hours is sweet as! The Gray ghost are iconic, I have literally never seen one come up... the thing is though, is it really technically speaking a better performance machine than the 1999? I feels its more the rarity factor...
Nice
✌✌ Thanks
It's a torpedo that Sea-Doo I used to have one of those... 66 mph!
Its mega... It goes like a rocket... interesting also comparing this 951carb vs 951Di... should make a video on the comparison
@@classicjetskis I Heard that the orbital direct injection it's a crap and has a ton of problems. That's the reason of Rotax didn't use it anymore. If I can make a wish I would like to see a LRV Sea-Doo on the channel. I saw only one in my life
@@aeromastersargentina6579 the pick up on a 951di honestly is better…more responsive….mines also starts on the button everytime a lot easier than the carb and rides all day fuel wise…that being said i love the 951 carb in the GSXL also…honestly dude until you have rode a di your missing out 🙏 man I’m not sure about the LRV I’m not convinced on that design…
@@classicjetskis but LRV it's a strange thing just test it and the 3D? Dou you like?
There is a immaculate STXR for sale in the UK right now. Go get it
Really fire me the link dude… I’ll check it out… thanks for watching 🙏
I love mine, but its not as clean as this one... I've done my fair share of gel coat polishing and other stuff to make it look better. I even see you've even got GC-Extreme commenting!
The oil in the bottom you may want to check the oil tank. They are notorious for cracking at the midline seam and leak from there. So they will hold 1/2 a tank but leak out anymore than that. Hardly any baconing on the mats either.
Edit: Nevermind, you talked about the tank crack at the end of the video. Did I miss it or how many hours are on it?
Have you used ceramic wax, it's a game changer, use that and then a high buff microfiber...that will make the shine pop!,Thanks for watching though dude, I'm really pleased with this find...yes it did have a few things to sort...and so funny but you're spot on with the oil tank, it was exactly that...where the tank joins it was leaking, I took the tank out, cleared out the joining channel and rebonded it...which stopped the leak...no more oil in the bottom...The fuel gauge had been glued stopping it turning, I replaced that, battery was replaced and we are now rocking and rolling! Yes the mats are perfect apart from the back...(the back are the easiest to bond back down as you have more access under them)... ride video coming soon dude.
@@classicjetskis are you going to show the work on the tank in an episode? If not what did you use to reseal? I thought about just buying a replacement. I have used ceramic wax, but still need to remove some oxidation on the bottom side that wasn’t covered. Sun is pretty unforgiving here in Texas.
@@mattdogg02 Yes I will most likely make a video talking about all the tasks done, however I didn't capture much footage of that task but for sure can explain what I did, I also however want to give it a couple of rides to ensure the fix doesn't give in before showing you guys...I will keep you posted, but its not the end of the world if it needs a new tank there easy to change and the new ones are ethanol resistant. Sounds like you need to cut and mop to remove the ox, thanks for the support all the way from Texas dude!!
Are these still the x4 hull with the 787?
No dude this gsx Ltd has the 951 in it and doesn’t have the x4 hull, it’s slightly more stable than the x4. Thanks for watching dude 🙏
Why are those fire extinguishers banned?
I believe it is something to do with plastic valves, there was a recall on all old years... from what Seadoo dealers told me... the thing is though for me I love finding examples with the original extinguishers as the rarity factor is so high now... most original extinguishers are either lost or recalled... I never use them, they sit in storage and now carry industry standard safe ones on the skis I ride vs originals... this GSX had the original though from 1999... I have seen original extinguishers be sold for £250 alone on ebay as they are collector pieces now. Thanks for watching dude
I'm not sure if they were part of the Kidde recall, however, I think I have 3 of them sitting in my garage. I had to replace them all this past summer, because the USCG changed the rules when it comes to extinguishers. The new ones have date stamps on the bottom, they now expire 12 years from that date. Any extinguisher that does not have a date is considered expired. Im in the middle of trying to resurrect a 97 GSX which also came with the origional when I picked it up.
Sorry for slow reply dude, that was what I have been told by all UK dealers about the 90s extinguishers... I think to be fair as with anything ancillary part that can easily be changes, thats that old, it just makes good sense to replace to modern spec... I think keeping the old extinguishers in storage as a time piece is more powerful than using it anyway as once its used its used. Its the same sort of thing as, I have original XPS branding spray/oil from the 90s that I will never use/likely degraded but just cool as hell to have the original. Good luck with the GSX restore and yeh I would put the original extinguishers to one side and run a modern spec one. Thanks again for watching ✌
I can buy one in austria… but not a ltd… it is a ctd for 1000 euro….
Would be my first. What do u say ?
Hi buddy, ok so the limited is obviously the most desirable in the line up, and the 951 is obviously the most powerful…but the hull design ergonomics etc are all the same. If it’s your first ski and you have no experience of riding a limited, it will still be a blast, just keep in mind all your checks, to ensure it’s in good shape. Thanks for watching and supporting 👍
it is new practically
It honestly is... took along time to find but was worth the wait... Thanks for watching dude ✌
9
Assuming this was your guess for how many I have? 😂its 8 currently... Thanks for watching ✌
Absolute rubbish about leaving a trickle charger on.
It's widely accepted that you should not charge whilst connected to the ski, its even outlined in the original Seadoo's owner manual... just because you may get away with it a handful of times, doesn't make it ok... There is a reason after all there are skis like this example in my video still going strong, its the small details of maintaining these skis that stand the test of time... I do appreciate you watching but a shame your comment is both negative and factually incorrect.
@@classicjetskis you’re so wrong it’s comical, todays modern “smart” trickle chargers do no harm long term. The company I work for does extensive testing on subjects like this. Yes the older chargers do fluctuate voltage and amps which can cause damage, but not today’s modern smart chargers #McLaren
@@Skizm_admin you're now changing the goal posts my friend... when you read a owners manual from 1999 its not accounting for 2023 smart chargers... your first comment said ' trickle charger' NOT 'smart charger', which if you are experienced in this field as you say #mclaren 😂 will know historically trickle chargers in the past, as you have even admitted yourself, can fluctuate voltage, as such could hypothetically damage the electrical systems on these old skis... Lets just say someone watching this video has an older trickle charger... I say 'yeh its fine to charge connected to the ski' and then damage occurs... this would not be great advise... in any case your whole argument is likely predicated on the basis of laziness to take 5 mins to disconnect the battery, remove it from the ski... which again if you're experienced, would also know for general safety reasons, its far safer to charge the battery out of the hull... Dude the reality is modern smart chargers are NOT the same as older trickle chargers... you're just skewing your original point to look more accurate... now that's so wrong its comical.. thanks for the view 😉
@@classicjetskis Now you’re full of so many contradictions it’s funny 😂😂😂
@@Skizm_admin such a shame I thought you may have had a solid response, but I guess I did completely destroy your argument…. There were no contradictions at all, all of my responses were clear and factual. Blake when you’re out there in the real world buying these skis, I have 8 fully operational, that I ride and maintain and are all still going decades later, plus putting out videos showcasing them for the world to see, not just being a classic keyboard Warrior… then your comments might hold more weight. The one good thing to come out of your incorrect comments is people can learn from your lack of knowledge buddy, so thanks again for stopping by 👍
