Sea-Doo put a 325-horsepower supercharged Rotax engine in the 2026 RXP-X RS — the most powerful personal watercraft engine production has ever seen. And they paired it with a 10.25-inch touchscreen display, the largest dashboard of any production jet ski on the market. That combination is a statement.
Why the Numbers Matter
A 325 hp PWC hits differently than the 300 hp units that were already pushing limits. The RS designation means this is the race-spec version — lower, more aggressive stance, sharper handling geometry, optimized for performance riding. The touchscreen brings navigation, performance data, and connectivity to a platform that previously relied on basic instrument clusters.
How to Think About the Cost
A machine like this isn't cheap. If you're considering it, run the numbers honestly. Use a boat finance calculator to understand what monthly payments look like at current rates and with your intended down payment. PWC financing typically follows the same structures as boat financing generally — 3 to 7 year terms, rates that depend heavily on your credit and the lender.
If you're near the water this summer and want to demo one, boat dealers near me who carry Sea-Doo products should have these in stock — but call ahead, demand has been high.
The Taiga Angle
Worth mentioning: Taiga Motors also made news with their 2026 Orca electric jet ski that's capable of bidirectional charging — meaning it can actually power your home during an outage. The Orca and the RXP-X RS 325 represent the two poles of where personal watercraft is going: maximum internal combustion performance, and genuinely useful electric technology. Both are worth your attention.
