Now we can move on to each of the categories and models one-by-one!

2022 PWC Categories

When it comes to the classification of personal watercrafts, the models are separated into several distinct categories.

What are these?

Rec-Lite
Recreation
Performance
Luxury
Stand-up
Tow Sports
Sport Fishing

To better understand the purpose of each class, and to compare them more easily, we will compare the current models from category-to-category.

Rec-Lite PWC category

When it comes to the Rec-Lite watercraft category, we are talking about cheapest sit-down PWCs on the market, but they also have the lowest maintenance costs as well.

What’s more, they are very reliable models, thanks to their lower performance engines and the lack of maintenance-requiring parts (like a supercharger).

They come with the smallest and most nimble of hulls among all of the new PWCs.

Their smaller dimensions and lighter weight could be a great advantage, while towing with your car, launching or just moving it around by hand. Just a quick comparison of the heaviest and the lightest sit-down PWCs on the market:– Sea-Doo Spark 2up with trailer: cca. 600-650 lbs.

– Kawasaki Ultra 310 LX with trailer: cca. 1250-1300 lbs.

Back to the Rec-Lite PWCs – currently you can find only Yamaha WaveRunner and Sea-Doo models in this category.

2022 Yamaha EX Line

Comparing the Rec-Lite 2022 WaveRunners with the 2021 model year, it’s clear that we can not see too many changes on the engines and hulls, except for the “compulsory” color changes of course, and some new and useful additions.

All of Yamaha’s Rec-Lite watercrafts also come with the same, 1049 cc, 3 cylinder, 4 stroke non-supercharged engine (with open-loop cooling). A really cool addition for the EX series is the new set of storage modules:

you can upgrade the EXs with a small bow storage of a 5.4-gallon dry bag for $75.99.
a hatch storage for $54.99 has a transparent window for storing your smartphone.
the new durable stern storage, which can be mounted without drilling, offers 4 gallons of extra capacity for $129.99.

Yamaha’s Rec-Lite models are available from $7,199 to $9,899 this year. If you want to learn more, don’t hesitate to find out all about the new models here:– 2022 Yamaha EX – 2022 Yamaha EX Sport – 2022 Yamaha EX Deluxe – 2022 Yamaha EX Limited

Sea-Doo Spark Series

When it comes to the Sea-Doo Spark Series, we are talking about an extremely popular model line, in which over 130,000 units have been sold since the Spark was first released.

What’s new in the 2022 Sea-Doo Spark and Spark TRIXX series?

Well, we’ve got a new set of colors as usual, and a great number of new accessories as well.

The Sparks are still powered with the 899 cc, 3 cylinder, 4 stroke, non-supercharged Rotax (closed-loop cooling) engines, offering 60 and 90 HP performance, depending on the model.

According to the chart above, it’s clear that the prices go from $5,699 to $8,499.

Recreation

When it comes to the Recreation category it’s safe to say that this is the most popular PWC category, and for good reason. Recreation models offer plenty of seat and storage capacity, and more stable hulls, so they are perfect even for beginners.

You can discover and compare the 2020 Recreation PWCs on the chart below:

Brand	Model	MSRP ($)

Are you interested in what’s new in 2020 from the each manufacturer?

2020 Kawasaki Recreation Jet Skis

The big news this year is that Kawasaki released its new 2020 Jet Ski Line in the Recreation category.

It’s the 2020 STX 160 series, which is an upgraded and completely redesigned version of the (still available) 17-year-old STX-15F Jet Ski.

What are the most significant changes on the new STX 160 models compared to the STX-15F?

The platform of the 2020 Kawasaki STX-160 has been completely redesigned and is made of fiber-reinforced plastic. The new larger rear platform can accommodate larger items like wakeboards or wakeskates and it’s also perfect for re-boarding.
The engine remained unchanged, it’s still the same non-supercharged version of Kawasaki’s 1,498 cc, 4-cylinder 4 stoke engine, which produces around 160 HP and has open loop cooling.
When it comes to storage, the full storage capacity increased to 35 gallons. This additional space is thanks to the the bow storage, which has been upgraded to 30.1 gallons. The glove box has been completely redesigned, which means it’s already perfect for smartphones.
Fuel capacity has been upgraded as well, from 16.4 gallons to 20.6 gallons.
Cruise Control as well as Smart Learning Operation Mode (maximum speed limiter), comes standard on the STX 160 Line. Cruise control is a great addition to set the ECO mode, which means you can reach the Jet Ski’s optimum fuel consumption.
LCD screen: All of the STX 160 models already come with a new large LCD dashboard, where you can check the speedometer, tachometer, and numerous other important indicators.

With the new Recreation Jet Skis, Kawasaki now offers four different models in this category:

2020 Sea-Doo Recreation Models

Sea-Doo’s Recreation watercrafts, known as the GTI line, underwent major changes this year.

On one hand, the models’ weights have been reduced from 790 lbs. to 739 lbs., thanks to the new Polytec hulls.

The biggest news from Sea-Doo for 2020, is that they canceled their 1494 cc Rotax engine. All of their models now come with the same 1630 cc displacement engine, except the Spark series and the GTI 90, as these models are still powered with the 899 cc engine.

This 1630 ACE Rotax engine produces 130/170 horsepower in naturally-aspirated (non-supercharged) version, while the supercharged version of this engine offers 230/300 horsepower, depending on the model. This means the 2020 Sea-Doo GTI SE 170 already powered with 170 horsepower!

You can discover the new Recreation Sea-Doo models here:

2020 WaveRunner Recreation Models

From Yamaha we can’t expect too many changes in this category, except for the new colors (and slightly higher prices). If you are looking for the 2020 WaveRunner Recreation models, you can find out all about them here:

2020 Sea-Doo GTI vs. Yamaha VX vs. Kawasaki STX 160

Let’s compare competing models side-by-side!

We can start again with the most affordable models in this category. For a fair comparison, we chose the GTI 130 HP model from Sea-Doo, as the GTI 90’s performance is in another league of course.

However, this means that the cheapest Sea-Doo in the Recreation category is the GTI 90 for $8,999. It’s good to know that this model is powered with the same 899 cc, 90 HP engine as the Spark series. And finally, it produces significantly lower performance than its competitors.

Based on the above, let’s compare the next 3 models by the numbers:

Specs	Kawasaki	Yamaha	Sea-Doo
Model	STX 160	VX	GTI 130

Luxury/Touring

Luxury and Touring PWCs (often classified together) offer the widest range of features and additions. They are usually powered by the same supercharged engines as the performance models.

However, their hulls are usually more stabe and comforatble, which promises a more convenient ride but a less sporty attitude, on the other hand.

Kawasaki	ULTRA 310LX	17 999

2020 Sea-Doo Touring models

Just like the GTI SE 170, the power source of the Sea-Doo GTX 155 has also been upgraded to the new 170 HP, 1630 cc Rotax engine.

The other great news for the new year is that all 2020 Touring Sea-Doo models are equipped with a larger, 18.5-gallon fuel tank.

It’s also good to know that the Sea-Doo GTX 230 is actually very much the same as the Sea-Doo GTX 170. The only difference is that the GTX 230 has a supercharged engine, which offers a higher top speed and much better acceleration.

You can discover and do comparisons on the entire Sea-Doo GTX Line here:

2020 WaveRunner Luxury Models

Yamaha also added new colors to its 2020 FX WaveRunner Line. Beyond that, there are no major changes on the hulls or engines of the FX Line for this year:

2020 Luxury Jet Skis from Kawasaki

Kawasaki’s also did not make too many changes on their Luxury Jet Ski models beyond the new color sets:

Performance PWC models

When it comes to performance models, these are the most powerful PWCs on the water. You can expect to get the highest top speeds and the greatest acceleration on these models.

On the other hand, they come with very high price tags and maintenance costs, due their high-performance, supercharged engines.

Brand	Model	MSRP ($)
Yamaha	GP1800R HO	12 299
Sea-Doo	GTR 230	12 399
Yamaha	GP1800R SVHO	14 399

Sea-Doo	RXT-X 300	16 199

2020 Performance Sea-Doos

Sea-Doo definitely made the biggest changes in this category for the 2020 model year. Both the GTR-X 230 and RXT 230 models have been eliminated!

The other news is that the GTR 230 got the new Polytech hull from the new GTI Line.

So finally, this means there are only three performance models currently in the Sea-Doo fleet:

2020 Performance WaveRunners

When it comes to Yamaha, at first glance it looks like we got a new model, namely the GP 1800R HO.

But unfortunately, it’s not a new model, it’s just a name change of the former VXR, as this model is being released under the name GP 1800R HO in the 2020 model year.

This model is the naturally-aspirated version of Yamaha’s flagship WaveRunner, the GP 1800R SVHO. Surprisingly, it’s the only performance PWC on the market that is powered by a naturally aspirated (non-supercharged) engine.

So finally, Yamaha offers these two performance WaveRunner models in 2020:

2020 Performance Jet Skis

Kawasaki can’t go wrong with their 310 HP Ultra series. These models again arrive without any major changes in the new year. New color sets? Yes of course. You can find out all about those here:

Tow Sport and Fishing

We also have to mention the changes made on Sea-Doo’s special Watercrafts, the 2020 Sea-Doo Fish Pro and the Wake Series.

The biggest news is that Sea-Doo replaced the 1494 cc engine on these models, so now all of them come with the same, 1630 cc ACE Rotax engine.

Beyond the upgraded engine, not very many changes have been made on the Fish Pro’s hull or features.

Unlike the Fish Pro, the 2020 Sea-Doo Wake 170 has been completely redesigned. This model now comes with the new Polytec GTI platform. The new hull offers more stability and a saddle with improved comfort.

The storage capacity has been increased from 30.7 to 42.5 gallons, and the fuel capacity has also been increased from 15.9 to 18.5 gallons. In addition to those superb changes and upgrades, there has unfortunately been a weight increase from 718 lbs to 747 lbs.

Speaking of the 2020 Wake Pro 230, it comes with similar colors as its smaller brother, but powered with the supercharged 230 HP engine version. This model also has the 18.5-gallon fuel tank, while the storage capacity remained the same, at only 26.1 gallons.

A sound package is available for both models as an option.

2020 Stand-Up PWC models

And don’t forget about the Stand-Up watercraft category. It seems that we can’t expect too many changes in terms of the available stand-up PWC models.

The 2020 Yamaha SuperJet and the new Kawasaki SX-R come with the same colors and specifications as in 2019.

It’s also good to know that Krash Industries will release their new model line sometime in the spring of 2020.

However, we haven’t any official information about the 2020 Krash PWC Lineup. Rumor has it that there won’t be any major changes in the specifications, but the models will get a new set of colors for the new year.

Once new 2020 Krash PWC models are released, we will immediately update our database with pictures of them all of course!

Until then, you can purchase the 2019 models at any Krash dealership in the U.S., as these models are still available nationwide!

Conclusion

After all the specs and information, is it possible to summarize in a couple of words what’s new on the PWC market in 2020? Let’s give it a try:– Kawasaki released the new 2020 STX 160 Family, which is a completely redesigned and upgraded version of the former STX-15F. The other models got only new color sets.

– Yamaha hasn’t made any major change in its WaveRunner fleet. But, we have new colors, some new features, and sligthly higher price tags in 2020.

– Sea-Doo has probably made the biggest changes in its new model line. Sadly, the performance GTR-X 230 and RXT 230 models are gone for this year.

On the other hand, the platform of the GTI Line has been completely redesigned and is now made of Polytech. Also, the new 2020 GTR 230 and the 2020 Wake 170 now come with this hull, and the increased 42.5-gallon fuel capacity. Numerous models are equipped with a larger 18.5-gallon fuel tank, and there were major changes on the engines as well.

The former 1494 cc Rotax engine was canceled, so currently you can find Sea-Doo engines with 2 displacement versions: the 899 cc Rotax engine either produces 60 or 90 HP, depending on the model. (Spark Line and GTI 90).

All of the other models are powered with a 1630 cc Rotax engine, what offers 130/170 HP, or even 230/300 HP with supercharger.
