The 215 and 255 have superchargers that spin too high when the jet sucks air during a jump. Then the supercharger destroys itself and the motor. All of the non 155hp have blown motors at 150 hrs or less
People always say these boats are only good for flat water! LOL. This guy knows how to skipper a boat. He could teach the big boat skippers a thing or 2 about seamanship! BTW I have one of these. So much fun.
@@andrewsmovies correct and then Scarab took over and sells for 3x 4x times more now the almost same, true is that you can customize it, from 40-60k and up.
Seadoo 150 rules Naulover Inlet, who says you need a big boat costing 100's of thousands of dollars when all you need is the SeaDoo 150 and some good friends to have a great time.
As a licensed Master let me warn you to consult local waterway and state speed limits. For instance in NJ all lakes are speed limited to 35mph even though various waters seem to have what I call areas of understanding ha, ha, ha...
As a mechanic for PWC and jet boats it’s all fun and games until your Motor mounts break or the exhaust muffler slides back off the engine , both result in sinking in less than 30mins
I have an older twin engine version. Closest thing a boat can get to an F-16. The grab handles are not there for looks. Can turn harder than a Porsche. Selling them had to be as easy as a ten minute test drive, you smile, you buy it.
Just got one this summer. 96 720cc twin engine 2 stroke speedster. Been using it a lot. I've had so many people tell me already that they have been on so many different kinds of boats, but this is by far the most fun!!! Boat isnt 100% yet. still getting minor cavitation. Still trying to figure out what can be the cause. Replaced wear rings, impellers look like like new, carbon rings look good, Compression is 145 PSI. I Still don't know whats up. Well its at least 85%, good enough I guess. It gets on plane good enough.
The worst part, of Sea-Doo jet boat is, when it slams down after jumping the wake, your balls, get stuck in your throat, you know the beach balls, just keeping it clean boss 🤣🤣🤣
Seadoo stopped making jet boats in 2012 (I wonder why? I suspect that it was because they're notoriously unreliable and hard to work on). In 2012, I had a '96 Seadoo Speedster 150 (two 717 cc 2-stroke inboards, each w/ its own jet drive). In 2014, I had a, '06 Seadoo 14' Sportster 4-Tec supercharged). When they were up & running, they were a blast! But a very rough, pounding ride in a small chop. I eventually sold each one after I couldn't keep them running and couldn't find shops that were willing to work on them.
Seadoo's have a rotax bombardier engines. These are engines made in Austria by the best jet propulsion company in the world. If thats not good enough, I don't know that is. I've had mine since April. Have taken it out 12 times already. I wasn't getting any issues but I just do some preventative maintenance like recharge the batteries, and clean the spark plugs after a few times out. I had to replace the wear ring and get a new Dess key post but its a 1996 for god sakes. Both were very easy to do myself.
Jumps like that create cracks in the floor at the base of the seat and in the transom. Plus the super charger spins too high when inlet grate is out of the water, and gets destroyed and kills the motor at the same time. 3/4's of them have new motors before 150 hours. I have one with a 155 hp, a little underpowered for some perhaps but the motor should last 1,000 hours np.
Without meaning to appear as if I am defending them in offshore racing this is why you have a separate throttle man (operator) to pull back the throttles when the vessel leaps out of the water. Simmerally when jumping a vessel like this the skilled driver pulls back the throttle(s) to prevent unloaded runaway. I would love to find a #200 but they are scarce. Thanks for your comment.
I do not understand people who have technology and do not use it. If you go to Google Maps and look up the area there are only two inlets to the ocean. As far as the jet skis and jet boats they like the constricted inlet to wave jump like this video. As a "big Boat" driver I have no problem with this as long as they follow the rules of the road as the SeaDoo did.
Those boats are terrible for the ocean, they are meant for rivers. The button of the boat is flat, it does not cut the waves, so you will be jumping all the time unless the ocean is totally flat.
I own one of these and it's the most fun boat I've ever owned.
me2 completely agree. Corners like a sports car !
How is is maintenance wise? I really wanna get one currently have a bayliner.
easy @@FleetTech97
YEAHHH U ARE RIGHT 😎😎😎👍👍👍
I want one bad.
This will be hands down, the best little boat you could own that would actually be a great way to practice getting in and out of haulover
Super impressive to see a little speedster repeatedly conquer Haulover like a boss!
Right? Bad @ss
He might be driving a 15' sea-doo but definitely had 41' Apache balls!
Hahahahaha hilarious
My back aches just watching this, lol.
That guy is a boss.. I have one, crushing it in those waves is impressive
Such a sick lil boat i just got 1 cant wait to get it running planning on doing a full built motor with a supercharger

@@kevinmchale5660 The 155Hp does between 45 and 50 mph ,thats what I'm looking at , so much less maintenance

How much do they run? And how many people can you have in it? I've always liked the older ones. Didnt know they still made em
@@sevirz13 they can carry 4 but best with 3. They stopped making them around 2012.
@@andrewsmovies gotcha, appreciate it.
@@sevirz13 you can get the seadoo challenger it’s a little bit bigger for like people and it’s very similar

these boats are a blast. My coworker has one. They corner super well and are fast as hell.
People have no idea how much hilarious fun that is.
That looks like so much more fun that the giant yachts. Just don't forget your mouth piece.
Loved my speedster, amazing boats

I have a 2006 seadoo sportster and the boat is rike a roadster on the water, a blast to drive.

Those weren't life vests; they were back braces! Ouch.
I've done this on my seadoo 200 on the lake. Twin engine 310 HP. Its a blast and scary.
I had a Sportster from 2006 with 215 HP, i regret i sold it. What a beast.
How was the maintenance? Can you still get parts and places to work on them?

A 15 foot boat putting boats twice the size to shame. These boats are awesome!! And wearing life jackets!!!
They be some salty dogs!🎉

I have this boat for 7 years and a beautiful boat she is.. its for sale in the UK, OFFERS ARE WELCOME
Одного не пойму,почему эти катера перестали выпускать?

but it had to be worked on a lot.
I didn't have a place to take it ‼️®️™️

Superchargers rev too high when they get air during a jump, and it kills the super charger and the motor
It was the economy. The ones Yamaha drill make are even better!!
Courageous trio

Great fun but personally I never go out to sea with single engine craft. Current and past boats have always been twins.
I hear ya!
Sea is relative. He's like 200ft out in the "sea"
Fk . I got whiplash just watching FJB
I don’t understand why people go too this place, is there no other areas to launch from ?

Really great 👍
i guess NECK & BACK VERTEBRA are overrated....let's get some WHIPLASH they said....it'll be FINE,they said
I bet his chiropractor loves him…
Damn that lil thing was ripping.

More air then a rental car at the x games
Hit the thumbs up for kicking Haulover's butt !
Rental is French for beat on
Chiropractor special
Or a dental nightmare...
Clean one owner. 😅
"what a ripper"
Drive it like you stole it
Its a shame they stopped making these
Yes, and the 200 was even "hotter."
จะแอ็คกันไปทำไม?
why do you need to wear back braces to ride a boat?
Damn
gnar
😄
😂😂
Never buy a rental....
Hell no
Great way to lose your boat!
SEADON’T…..
I try to understand the fun to do this...I can' t maybe i' m too stupid.
