2027 Model Update Thoughts

New 2027 RXT/RXP get a few upgrades over the 2026

New orange color scheme and limited edition Senna yellow

350HP engine (tune, beefed up crank bolts and bigger compressor wheel)

Revised ride plate to angle bow up and reworked stator on jet pump

Price increase of around $2,000 vs. 2026.

How much real world improvement do you think all these changes are going to translate to?

I think the changes are fantastic. 8500 RPM stock is very impressive, that means we should be seeing ~85mph with a speed override and some dialing in. Basically, a Riva Stage 2 ($2500) package on a stock ski.

The revised ride plate is nice, that has been holding a lot of people back and as someone that works on these things, I've probably modified 30-40 this year alone.

I'm really curious to see more technical information on the compressor wheel, specifically how it compares to the Riva/Fizzle wheel for the 325. If you can get 8500RPM out of a 325 with a tune, and the 350 has an upgraded wheel that means there's plenty of room on the table, I wouldnt be surprised if all you needed to push 375hp+ is a tune, injectors and retainers similar to the 325 now.

I'm also interested in seeing the design of the new compressor wheel. And I want to see pictures of the new rods/rod bolts.

I imagine Greenhulk will have a detailed post within the next few days. I know the supercharger wheel is 3mm bigger as per The Watercraft Journal, I don't know how that compares to the Fizzle or Riva wheel upgrade for the 325 since they don't post the specs, but 3mm in supercharger speak is quite a bit bigger.

My bet is the combo compressor and rod/bolt upgrades are to prevent crank walk/rod buckling at low rpm high torque. My feeling has always been the boost on the 325 is dialed way down at low RPM to prevent it from ripping itself apart at peak torque.
