Canadian Designer Denys LaPointe’s new Sea-Doo GTI is built for new and experienced riders- offering a sleek, innovative design for incredible fun, stability, and agility in the recreation segment.
The new design was recently awarded with Good Design by The Chicago Athenaeum for 2020.
This 3-seater, the do-it-all machine is packed with value from front to back. With the introduction of the Polytec Gen 2 hull, the GTI is now more durable, lighter, and even more stable than previous models. Features were brought down from Sea-Doo’s high-end models such as a premium audio system, built-in LinQ accessibility with a large back deck, and Ergo Lock seating, giving the consumer even more value and options to extend their day out on the water.
The new Sea-Doo platform is practically a living room on the water, with more room to sprawl out and enjoy the ride. It is also widely accepted as the industry benchmark for stability and control, all at a great value.
The enhanced platform starts with a highly configurable deck, including a removable passenger seat that gives riders more space to enjoy themselves. There’s also a seamlessly integrated and high-quality Bluetooth sound system (optional on some models) so people can immerse themselves in their favorite tunes while living “The Sea-Doo Life.”
Storage is improved to allow riders to bring along whatever they need to maximize their favorite on-water activities. This includes a large increase in the size of the main compartment and glove box, as well as a watertight phone box. The new platform also features the ground-breaking LinQ attachment system- now available on all Sea-Doo models – which provides an easy-on, easy-off solution for accessories ranging from coolers to containers and ski pylons.
To ensure riders get to their favorite spot in time, several models with the new platform now offer a Rotax 1630 ACE-170 horsepower powerplant. The new engine provides improved acceleration from zero to 50 mph by more than 20% on select models, and its Advanced Combustion Efficiency delivers industry-leading fuel economy.
All Sea-Doo models with the new platform also feature the industry exclusive ErgoLock system, which allows riders to sit in the watercraft, not on it, for confidence-inspiring control. And the Intelligent Brake and Reverse system (iBR), now in its third generation, offers enhanced control in tight spaces and reduces stopping distance better than ever.
