2022 Sea-Doo RXT-X300 and RXP-X300 get triple black treatment, price rises

Sea-Doo’s performance flagship models will be available in black or yellow for 2022, RXT-X300 gains the option of a colour widescreen dash with Bluetooth connectivity. But the changes come at a cost.

The 2022 Sea-Doo RXT-X300 and RXP-X300 supercharged high-performance models both gain the option of a triple-black colour scheme for next year.

While yellow carries over from the 2021 model year and into 2022, purple has been replaced after just 12 months.

Sea-Doo hero colours customarily run for two years, but the love-it-or-hate-it purple has been replaced by triple black, which has also been popular with the top-of-the-range Yamaha FX SVHO models over the past two years.

Both the 2022 Sea-Doo RXT-X300 and 2022 Sea-Doo RXP-X300 will also be available with the colour widescreen dash with Bluetooth connectivity (pictured below) that debuted on the 2021 Sea-Doo GTX 300 Limited last year.

Australian deliveries of the 2022 Sea-Doo range are due to commence later this year, pending any delays due to shipping or seasonal quarantine hold ups.

Prices have risen sharply. The 2022 Sea-Doo RXP-X300 has increased in price from $24,799 to $27,409 excluding trailer and registration.

The flagship 2022 Sea-Doo RXT-X300 has increased in price from $26,599 to $29,209 excluding trailer and registration, meaning it will be more than $30,000 by the time it is towed off the showroom floor.

The entry model in the Sea-Doo supercharged performance range – the 2022 Sea-Doo GTR 230 – has increased in price from $18,799 to $20,409 excluding trailer and registration.

Demand for personal watercraft has increased in the wake of international travel restrictions caused by the coronavirus crisis.

Gripped by stock shortages, production output across Sea-Doo, Yamaha and Kawasaki has struggled to meet the surge in demand throughout the pandemic, which has seen prices rise and discounts evaporate.
