Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 vs Yamaha FX Limited SVHO – Which Luxury Jet Ski Reigns Supreme?

Apr. 9 2025 News By Team Broward Motorsports

If you're shopping for a high-end personal watercraft with top-tier performance, cutting-edge tech, and plush comfort, the Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 and the Yamaha FX Limited SVHO are at the top of the game. These are the ultimate luxury Jet Skis, offering everything from industry-leading horsepower to smart displays and Bluetooth audio.

At Broward Motorsports Hollywood, your local Sea-Doo Jet Ski dealer and trusted Jet Ski dealer in South Florida, we proudly carry both models in stock and ready for the water.

Let’s break down how these two machines compare and help you decide which one fits your lifestyle.

Engine and Performance

The GTX Limited 325 features Sea-Doo’s newest powerplant: the Rotax 1630 ACE engine producing a class-leading 325 horsepower. It’s the most powerful engine ever offered on a Sea-Doo, delivering incredible acceleration and a smooth yet aggressive throttle response.

The Yamaha FX Limited SVHO is no slouch either. Powered by a 1.8L Super Vortex High Output (SVHO) engine, it delivers around 250+ horsepower and offers excellent reliability with a more gradual power curve—perfect for long-distance cruising or pulling a tube.

Both Jet Skis provide exhilarating top speeds, but the Sea-Doo has a slight edge in pure horsepower and acceleration.

Hull and Ride Quality

Sea-Doo’s ST3 hull is engineered for stability, easy boarding, and solid handling in rough waters. It offers a low center of gravity that gives riders confidence whether cruising the Intracoastal or tackling open water.

Yamaha’s FX platform is equally refined, with a wide stance that offers excellent balance and control. It’s designed for smooth performance in both calm and choppy conditions, with superior wave-cutting ability.

Technology and Features

The GTX Limited 325 is loaded with high-end features:

  • 7.8” full-color display

  • Premium Bluetooth Audio System

  • USB-equipped waterproof phone compartment

  • Factory-installed Garmin GPS and depth finder

  • Touring accessories included (dry bag, safety kit, cover)

The FX Limited SVHO brings its own premium tech:

  • 5” Connext touchscreen with security features

  • Bluetooth audio and GPS-ready mount

  • Accessory package (inflatable tube, tow rope, dry bag, and more)

Both are premium setups, but the Sea-Doo leans into integrated tech while Yamaha adds more physical accessories out of the box.

Storage and Touring Capabilities

If storage space matters, Yamaha has the advantage with a massive 44 gallons of total storage, the most in the industry. You’ll find ample room in the glove box, under-seat storage, and front compartments.

The Sea-Doo offers 26.1 gallons of storage and includes a clever front-access storage system, waterproof phone compartment, and LinQ compatibility for modular add-ons.

Comfort and Design

Both Jet Skis are built to handle all-day rides with ease. The GTX Limited 325 features Sea-Doo’s Ergolock seating, wide seating space, and a comfortable step platform that makes reboarding simple.

The FX Limited SVHO includes a three-person Cruiser Seat, angled footwells for ergonomic riding, and plenty of legroom.
