    The 21+ stocker definitely seemed the best. Although the solas 13/18 got the same top end it seemed like it took longer to rev out and the lower rpms kinda showed that. If you get the traction with the 13/16 it would probably shoot out the water but might have to think about valve train for the top end. What type of intake grate? Presume stock since your basing a lot from stock. Do the stock grates have a scoop in them like the AMs ones? Idk what SD has done with the stockers. I know Yamaha started to install a scoop style grate on the gp18rs I think in 19. Then I guess the question is if a scoop grate is installed and your getting that speed is the mounting area beefed up enough so the bolts don’t rip out like the 17/18 gp18rs? Can get yourself down a big rabbit hole very easily, lol. Great stuff, hardest working man at the boat ramp that day. Hope you get to ride with the gang.

    Ernesto next time test this same two props the aftermarket solas 13/18 three blades vs the oem stock 4 blades RXP-X 2021 prop with the draggi to see with which one the RXT 300 accelerated quicker. What about testing the same ski with a aftermarket waterbox vs the oem stock one? This also should be a very interesting test 👍😉. The stock configuration exhaust vs the aftermarket single rear exhaust vs the new rear dual exhaust should be also a very interesting test. Thanks for the excellent videos.

    @@calasworld I was the first person to bring to our island of PR a 4 stroke personal watercraft. It was a Kawasaki STX-15 this was back in 2004 and also put a deposit and buy the first Sea Doo supercharged RXT 215 hp that arrived to our island with with a external intercooler this was back in 2005. In that time I owned both skis. The top speed of the stock RXT was only 64 mph in our local heat soak and high humidity tropical weather in salt water, then durring the breaking period after only a few hours of use it was completely modified with a Riva racing aftermarket Intercooler, a Riva flashed computer, a Riva high flow air intake, Riva racing valve retainer’s and installed a high psi aftermarket rude supercharged and a solas prop made by Impros. With this mods I break the 70 mph back in the day and my ski was the fastest all around our island. I never moded the Kawasaki because at that time there were none aftermarket high performance parts available for him. I also used to wrench in them before but I am retired from the hobby now.

    I’ve been saying for a year and a half now that the 21+ RXPX impeller is a very good impeller for stage 1 tunes. With just an air intake, RXPX impeller, flame arrestor delete. and Riva 8500 RPM tune (targeting 8300-8400 rpm) I was able to hit 82mph GPS verified and saw 83 on the dash in April 2022.

    Excellent video! I currently run between the 13/16 and a 13/18 solas for closed course racing. The 13/16 does have cavitation out of the hole a lot more but does better in the mid range pull buoy to buoy on tight courses but in rough water you don’t get the hard pull and are always to close to the limiter, the 13/18 is an all around good choice as it doesn’t have as much cavitation has a better top speed and you can leave it wide open in rough water and it stays pulling hard. I have not tried the 4 blade or the pump wedge on mine but you now have me interested. For any one wondering for comparison, I have a 2017 full limited class built motor with Riva intake grate 17lb charger wheel and with a 13/16 see speeds of 81mph at 8,950 rpm and with the 13/18 I see 83-84 mph at 8,700 rpm. The13/16 is a lot more snappy in the right conditions however i feel it is only for a unique condition and it is not as good all around like the 13/18. As far as quality from solas I have used and repitched 5 impellers and have had no issues so far. Hope this helps, thanks again for the awesome content!

    I’m so overthinking this impeller selection, so I’m reaching out to the incredible Calas community for some direction.. I really enjoy my ‘19Rxtx platform since new and tuning on it is my therapy.. I think I’m ready for impeller/pump tuning and looking for a impeller to start with. Riva 135 wheel and injectors, retainers, fizzle, thruhull exhaust, Riva intake, mapX tuned(8800 agr).. I have data logging ready and at 8400 it’s showing 82mph.. This is with the stock pump and impeller. I have solas 14vane pump and lucky13 tuning cone ready to go in, but I’m struggling with what impeller to start with.. Dean pitched a 13/20 for my Fx and it made a huge difference.. I also have springs/retainers and cam waiting to go in and I know that the whole combo will be dependent on the impeller setup.. target rpm is 8800-8900.. would pitching a 21 up RXP or solas be a better start?.

    Absolutley love these kind of videos! I am just a bit confused. I feel like every channel is pushing the solas 13/18 prop even though the results are showing rxpx 21+ is best one. Am I missing something? I have a 22 rxtx and am on fence about switching to SS wear ring + new impeller which is why I am so curious
