We all know personal watercraft speedometers lie, often to the tune of 5 mph. Idling back to the beach a few laps later, I check my peak speed on the watercraft's multi-function information center. In fact, midway through the turn, I get back on the throttle all the way and exit the corner with tired arms. Who said greed is good? A couple more seconds turns into a few more seconds, and now the buoy is too large and too close for comfort, so I drop the trim, back off the throttle a tad and pitch the RX DI into the corner, fully expecting to spin. I should be setting up for a sweeping 180-degree turn but I need a couple more seconds to get the most out of this speed run. ![]() By special dispensation, I've been given the opportunity to ride the Sea-Doo RX DI on the Friday before the event, and now I, a middle-aged missile, am rocketing toward the northernmost buoy. ![]() Two buoys, one at each end of Long Beach Marine Stadium in Southern California, define the riding area for one stop in an endless summer of Sea-Doo Demo Days weekends. Sea-Doo's RX DI holds an exceptionally pure line in corners and delivers strong and smooth acceleration.
