The new Speedster...

[Jbb]

"The world's most powerful sport boat just became even more powerful With 430 thundering horsepower at your fingertips you will be in the elite group of high performance cruisers. The quiet whine of the intercooled superchargers will remind you that you are in the fastest accelerating jet boat ever built. 0 to 40 in 4 seconds, a time to plane speed that is too fast to measure. These are the hallmarks of the Speedster 200, a legacy is being written and you have the chance to be one of the authors. There is no compromise in any part of this speed demon either, the electronic gauge package, inlet clearance system, AM/FM CD radio, adjustable swivel and forward/back seats, and the best storage arrangement ever designed! Available in either bright red or medium blue the color coordinated interior will always look fresh and undated."
all that ....and a 59 mph top end... :220v:

Bombardier sandbagged the impellers to hold back the stock speed, and holeshot.
The Impellers are under rated, a little on the flat pitched side with some progression. Though performance is awesome.
Aftermarket impellers have a radical progressive pitch that will raise the top speed and holeshot significantly that will set your dick straight.

I bought a 95 model brand new back then...only 85 hp per side....and it was a thrill ride....very fun boat for smooth water!

[Trailer Park Casanova]

The new engines have instant response, no spool up time, planes below wakespeed, boat leaps outta the water like a rocketship.
Goes to Catalina easily, and is a lot of fun in the ocean.
Does 520 degree full speed spins, gets way way airborn jumping over swells,
Boat is a blast.
Has a very smooth, comfortable ride. Handling is supurb, hooks the water perfectly turns easily within it's length where ya want it to.
Incredable, unbelievable acceleration just touching the gas.
It's not for a milktoast family or the meek.
When you come off idle you quickly realize you need to have a head for speed.
The supercharged/innercooled 4 stroke engines are nice sounding, anxious and want to run. And do they ever.
http://www.hotboatpics.com/pics/data/500/3812family_stuff_004-med.jpg
Ballast tank controls wake size superbly..
Has cool elect remote switch that fills and empties the tank quickly from the driver seat.
http://www.hotboatpics.com/pics/data/500/3812various_pix_021-med.jpg
Sound system is the best sounding, most reliable I ever had on any of my boats.
e negotiated the price to the low 30's OTD with a 4 year warranty, service, and all kinds of extras,, cover,, spare tire,, ect ect.
Easiest to own boat I've ever had.
We'll still be buying a new Tige' wakeboard boat, but use this for speed and ocean runs.
Much safer, and far more fun than a PWC.
http://www.hotboatpics.com/pics/data/500/3812Pix_of_Ross-med.jpg
Perfect Pass Speed control precisely controls the engines and 12 different settings - one for each rider. Awesome,precision speed. Ya just press the wakeboarders number, and the control takes over.
Even corrects for when the skier/wakerboarder get airborn, river current speed, turns,, it is perfect.
Made in Canada, so if you don't like them ,, take it up with Brown, leave me outta it.

[Not So Fast]

Just another friggin PWC to clog up the water :crossx: NSF

[707dog]

all that hp and it doesnt go any where..hell my family mover has less hp and it goes the same speed..i do know that those lil boats can do some bad azz 360's on top of the water and also throw the drunk azz'z outa the boat when you yank the wheel really hard to the left(sorry tim) but that s@#t was stupid funny...lmao.nobody was hurt during that stunt...lmao

[HocusPocus]

i don't own one but i was given a ride recently and it was a blast, it would literally jump outta the water and turn on a dime. it must not have been stock because it hit 70 in seconds! although a fun ride i would never buy one, i believe the price was around $40k and i would rather put that into a real boat. the quality wasn't very good either, the various hatches and panels all seemed to vibrate and im sure wouldn't hold up very well to the beating they take. the upholstery was very thin and the one i was in already had a couple tears.

That's surprising....the one I bought had excellent fit and finish....I paid 12k for it new.....and beat the snot out of it....and it still ran and looked like new...

Sea Doo's keep getting bigger and bigger.

kind of surprised me also, i have always owned sea doo pwc's of some kind and currently own an 06 gtx. i just don't feel the overall quality of the speedster compared to the price was worth it. there is a New 2007 Dana Boat (http://***boat.com/forums/showthread.php?t=130952) for sale in the spam section for $41k, i would buy something like that before a speedster.

I'm sure this sea doo boat is great for some but,,,, "unbelieveable acceleration?", "leaps like a rocketship?", "Incredible?", "nice sounding?"

That is a mini yuppie boat...cant wait to see all the idiots in their 59mph speedsters, doing donuts in the middle of the lake...good times.

So let me see If I get this right..... :)
People who buy this boat are yuppies in a mini boat,.......and they're idiots because?
...that is the boat that best suits their needs and budget...?
...because it goes 59 mph...?
....they can do donuts in the middle of the lake...?
Or.....its not a one off custom....Hot Boat?... :p
I had one for 3 years .....I liked it at the boat show and bought it.....fit in my garage ...easy to tow.....cheap insurance ....taught my kids to drive a boat in it....dependable.....everyone had a blast in it...in calmer water....
now....I did plenty of donuts in it......in the middle of numerous lakes ....after looking around for traffic....no one called me an idiot,or a yuppie.... :p
It started,and ran flawlessly for 3 years ....and I towed quite a few ...er.....hot boats back to the dock with it.....they didnt call me an idiot or a yuppie either.....
kinda rash generalization ...dont ya think?....but I accept the fact that you are entitled to your opinion...

It's a purpose built vessel , doesn't have to look like a DCB :p . Lot of people drive Mercedes smart cars ,and I bet they don't give a rats ass what other people think of it :argue: :rollside:

[ECeptor]

I had a friend who had a speedster. Was a great ski boat because of the holeshot and was fun in much the same way a jetski can be fun.
BUT, it absolutely beat you to death in the wind blown chop we have here. It also wasn't big enough to take a group with you and have a floating party on.
They are good boats for what they are, but I'd never give up my big block powered 24'er for one.

is that the new 07 Evolution from Froggy? :rollside: :rollside: :rollside:
sorry....had too! :p

[Froggystyle]

"The world's most powerful sport boat just became even more powerful With 430 thundering horsepower at your fingertips you will be in the elite group of high performance cruisers.
We have that beat by double...
The quiet whine of the intercooled superchargers will remind you that you are in the fastest accelerating jet boat ever built. 0 to 40 in 4 seconds, a time to plane speed that is too fast to measure.
I bet we have both of those figures beat with a 27'er.
I bet it is a blast to drive though. Any time you have that much holeshot, you are going to sacrifice top speed. We are trying to sacrifice holeshot right now for speed, to get a balance of the two.
I don't think it is horrible looking. No more so than any other wakeboard boat out there.

[eliminatedsprinter]

Looks like a fun ride.
Aside from the storage space, I'm still waiting to see what it does that my little V6 Erude XP150 driven 86 Eliminator Sprint won't do. :) Besides use a lot more gas. ;)

Well Put.
There is no need to insult those who drive what is clearly a fun ride. :)

Funny, I almost did myself.
Our industry would do well to look at the refinement, engineering and durability of these types of boats. If you gave me that or a DCB to have on a desert island as my only form of transportation... I will take the SeaDoo. I would actually take a Bayliner also.
That is one reason I have never taken offense to the SeaDoo comments. I think that refinement, system building and cost management has been a large part of the mentality of building a lot of these craft. They perform well, are reasonably priced and last a long time. There are a lot of proprietary parts to them because nobody made anything that would work as well as what they designed, and they are overall built to be easily serviced by dealerships around the world.
Looks like they swiped my swoopy moulding though... ;)

[spectras only]

It's just goofy looking. :messedup:
So is the Smart car . Do you guys getting those yet in the us ? I like the look of a Dodge Viper , yet a hundred or so nerds at work thinks it's a fugly car :rolleyes: . Go figure :) !

[riverracerx]

I like it!
I have grown up with everything on the water. Flatbottoms, jet skis, blown alcohol hydros, boogie boards. If it floats it is fun (to me). I don't understand why people bag on watercraft? I do agree there are bad apples that spoil the bunch and give jet skis a bad wrap. But they are fun and when in the right hands are very cool and exciting to ride/drive.
An increase in price does not always mean an increase in "coolness". 30-40K for twin 4 stroke supercharged motors is pretty nice, in my opinion.
And 0-40mph in 4 secs is lightning fast, for a boat. My full 5mm stroked, injected Blaster did 0-50 in 3 secs and it would rip your arms out of your sockets, with only a top speed of 54mph.
I would buy one, if I was in the market!
