Urteil
A polished 2023 Sea-Doo GTX 130 that prioritizes stability, easy handling, and touring comfort over outright speed. Its naturally aspirated 130 hp engine and ST3 hull make it a capable all-rounder for relaxed day use, though the premium platform and limited top-end excitement keep value solid rather than standout.

The 2023 Sea-Doo GTX 130 uses Sea-Doo’s ST3 hull and a 1,630 cc Rotax 1630 ACE engine rated at 130 hp, a setup known for calm, confident behavior rather than aggressive performance. Its size and layout suit riders who want a stable personal watercraft for cruising, towing at moderate pace, and general leisure use.
On the water, the GTX 130 is generally regarded as smooth and easy to manage, with natural aspiration delivering linear throttle response instead of sharp turbo-like surge. Handling is one of its strengths: the hull is designed to track well and stay composed in chop, which makes it friendly for less experienced riders and reassuring for passengers.
Comfort is a major selling point. The GTX line emphasizes a supportive riding position, generous front storage, and a touring-oriented deck layout, although this specific listing is for two guests and no cabin arrangement applies to this type of craft. For day trips, the available storage is useful, but fuel capacity and outright range are more middle-of-the-road than long-distance focused.
Value is best judged against the GTX family itself: the 130 hp version offers the core premium Sea-Doo experience without the cost and complexity of the more powerful supercharged models. It is a sensible choice for buyers who prioritize stability, comfort, and usability, but it is not the most exciting or least expensive way into the segment.
