Hmmmm, let me guess....those are Sea-Doo GTI-SE 155's. Lol, I have the exact one, down to the same color. Only 1 though. Mine's an '09 that I bought new last June. Had a blast with it. I downsized....I used to tow a Crownline 225 bowrider with the GX.

Holy cow! That sounds like my story! Had a Sea Ray 205 Sport and just wasn't getting the use out of it I wanted as it was always a PITA to take it out. And yup! 09 155s brand new so you know I got a killer deal in 2011. I don't know I will ever go back to a boat.

Hey, have you skied or wakeboarded behind it yet? Supposedly it will do it.

A 22' Sea Pro center console, but I don't have any pics of it behind the truck.

It stays in the water at my parents' house, so it's only behind the truck 2x a year for about 10 minutes each time.

We've pulled skiers, wakeboarders and actually 2 kneeboarders at the same time. It pops them out of the water without a prob and is easy on the gas consumption. I saw 61 on the speedo wide-open this past summer. I want to verify it with a GPS.

I'll have to go write down all the info. I know they are 20's. I straight traded them with the OE chrome wheels. I think 20s or even 22s on the GX look really good. I just had to be honest with myself that I was't going to be going off road with this. I'll get the info and edit for you in a bit.


Good to know on the towing! That's awesome. I held on to all the wakeboards, waterskis, tubes, and kneeboard. I just have to get through that first tank of gas before I pull anyone!

Oh, nice boat!! Looks like someone likes to fish "juuust a little!!"

Not the best picture, but you get the idea. The GX does a great job as a tow vehicle. My boat weighs right at 5,000 lbs.

Okay, that thing is huge, makes the GX look like a toy but what I really noticed is the fact that your driveway has GOT to be enourmous when there is still a ton of space left on it. That's what, a 26ft boat?

It's not as crazy as it looks due to the slope of the driveway. It is only 22', about the same size as CSSNMS' Sailfish above.

Well, now I have no need to post a pic. I have the exact same boat in white. My GX is even the same color.

This is our Coast 21 LRBS guest house. I've towed it it back and forth to the dealer several times but haven't really had it on a long trip yet. I can't find a mirror set up that is wide enough to feel comfortable with in terms of rear visability. I tried the strap ons...too short; modified some truck slip ons but they didn't get out far enough to see around the 8 foot wide trailer either. I can't bring myself to put regular truck mirrors on with braces on the doors yet. Any ideas would be appreciated. ACHMUUUNDGH....thinking about trading the GX in on a new Ford F150 supercrew or Raptor.
I'm preparing to duck!
