New horsepower benchmark, Sea-Doo RXP-X 325 pushes BRP’s musclecraft line

With the 2024 Sea-Doo RXP-X 325, BRP adds a 325 hp supercharged Rotax engine to its flagship two-seat performance watercraft, targeting riders who want closed-course handling and triple-digit km/h speeds straight from the showroom.

BRP’s 2024 Sea-Doo RXP-X 325 is positioned as a flagship “musclecraft” personal watercraft for riders who care less about cruising comfort and more about acceleration out of the hole and precision in the turns. The closed-course-inspired two-seater pairs a new 325 hp supercharged Rotax 1630 ACE engine with Sea-Doo’s race-focused T3-R hull and adjustable ergonomics, giving BRP one of the most powerful stock PWC packages currently offered by a major manufacturer.

Flagship performance focus: engine, hull and ergonomics

At the center of the RXP-X 325 is Sea-Doo’s latest 1.6-liter three-cylinder Rotax 1630 ACE engine, tuned to deliver a claimed 325 hp using a revised supercharger, larger intercooler and updated engine calibration compared with the previous 300 hp version, while still running on premium pump gas according to the manufacturer’s official product page. BRP quotes a top speed of around 67 mph (governed) and emphasizes quicker 0-50 mph acceleration versus its 300 hp predecessors, supported by a redesigned intake grate and jet pump meant to keep the pump hooked up in aggressive maneuvers. The engine is paired with iBR (Intelligent Brake and Reverse) for quick deceleration and dockside control, plus selectable ride modes including Sport and ECO for different riding styles.

The hull design is equally central to the RXP-X 325’s flagship role: the compact T3-R fiberglass hull uses a deep-V with a pronounced keel and outside chines to carve tight turns, and the rider sits low and forward to keep the center of gravity down for race-style cornering stability. Sea-Doo carries over its Ergolock-R system with an adjustable narrow racing seat, knee pads and a tapered handlebar that can be set to the rider’s preference, designed to let the rider brace against the craft and reduce upper-body fatigue in rough water, as detailed in BRP’s global 2024 performance line announcement on its newsroom release. The craft’s overall length is about 130.6 inches with a 49.2-inch beam and a listed dry weight just over 780 pounds, keeping it relatively compact for its power class and aimed squarely at single riders or two-person runs rather than family touring.

Beyond outright speed, BRP adds several everyday usability features to keep the RXP-X 325 viable as a top-of-the-line consumer product, not just a race homologation hull. Storage volume is listed at roughly 40.5 gallons through a front compartment and small glovebox, enough for safety gear and light day-trip essentials, while fuel capacity is about 18.5 gallons, which Sea-Doo pairs with its ECO mode to extend range for less aggressive riding. The standard layout includes a reboarding step, a low-profile rear platform, and a 4.5-inch digital display showing speed, engine vitals and mode selection; unlike some larger Sea-Doo models, the RXP-X 325 does without the full-color 7.8-inch display and premium audio by default to keep weight and rider distraction down, although Sea-Doo’s accessory catalog offers add-on solutions for owners who want more tech on board.

For the U.S. market, Sea-Doo lists the 2024 RXP-X 325 with a starting MSRP in the mid-$18,000 range before freight and prep, depending on dealer and configuration, and offers color options such as Fiery Red and Catalyst Gray that visually align it with the rest of the performance lineup according to pricing sheets from major U.S. powersports retailers referenced in reporting by the specialist outlet Boats.com. BRP positions the craft above its GTR-X 300 and alongside high-output rivals like Yamaha’s GP SVHO and Kawasaki’s Jet Ski Ultra 310 series, leaning on its combination of 325 hp, aggressive hull geometry and ergonomic lock-in to appeal to experienced riders and club racers looking for a turn-key performance platform. The model is distributed through BRP’s Sea-Doo dealer network across North America and other regions, subject to local homologation and licensing rules.

Within BRP’s broader Sea-Doo brand, the RXP-X 325 sits as a halo performance product that helps define the company’s image in personal watercraft, even if volume comes more from recreational and touring models. It showcases BRP’s strategy of incrementally raising engine output and refining handling to keep existing enthusiasts in the ecosystem while offering a clear step-up product for customers trading in older 215-300 hp craft. Shares of BRP Inc. (CA05577W2004) traded on the NASDAQ at around $68 in recent sessions in June 2026, reflecting investor attention to its powersports portfolio that spans Sea-Doo watercraft, Ski-Doo and Lynx snowmobiles, Can-Am off-road vehicles and roadsters.
