One might hesitate to describe a personal watercraft as an embodiment of luxury, performance, and technology. But, on taking a closer look at the '2023 Sea Doo Personal Watercraft Touring Series GTX 230 2022', such apprehension evaporates. Breaking through the traditional bounds of personal watercraft design and performance, Sea Doo has set a new bar with this device, and See Dealer Cost is proud to present this review.
Just one glance is enough to fall captive to the captivating allure of the 2023 Sea Doo GTX 230. With Ergolock 2-piece seat system, wide-angle mirrors, handgrip with palm rests, and a large swim platform, the first impression screams unaffected comfort and functionality. And who could possibly miss the splash of the bold Sea-Doo logo on the footwell carpets and swim platform carpet?
Yet, it is not merely beauty for beauty’s sake. The watercraft's engine specifications make it a beast even amid turbulent seas. With a 230 horsepower 1630 ACE engine, supercharged with an external intercooler, long rides won't leave you yearning for more power. What surprised us was the Closed-Loop Cooling System (CLCS) and the Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) System. Sophisticated indeed! The craft also accommodates fuel type of 87 octane, adequate to keep the beast tamed yet agile.
Did we mention capacity? A generous fuel capacity of 18.5 US gal and a total storage capacity of 26.1 US gal make it the perfect companion for those long, adventurous journeys into the unknown. Add to that a rider capacity of three and a weight capacity of 600 lb, and you have a personal watercraft that can easily allow for a family ride.
Smart features like a 7.6" wide digital display with essential telemetry such as Speedometer, RPM, Clock, Fuel Consumption, and Sport Mode enhance the control and luxury of the ride. A key dimension that sets this Sea Doo apart is the ST3 Hull made of durable Fiberglass. Measuring a robust 135.9” in length, 49.4" in width, and 44.8" in height, it is a fantastic piece of architecture and design.
With a price point of 14399 (MSRP) and 12815 (invoice), the GTX 230 may seem a bit steep for some. But considering the features and offerings, it is worth every penny.
In conclusion, the 2023 Sea Doo Personal Watercraft Touring Series GTX 230, presented by See Dealer Cost, is much more than just a watercraft - it's an undeniable combination of performance, versatility, and luxury. Every ride begs for another, and it really does add a whole new dimension to personal watercraft.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
