SX/SXi/SXi Pro WHat's the difference?

[Wolf Child]

Between an SXI and and SXI Pro?

They look the same to me.

Bottom of the hull and the ride plate are different I think. I know you can use the same ride plate on an SXR and a PRO.

i think it has 8hp extra or some thing of that nature plus hull is slightly different

 

[brett]

i know the pro has molded in sponsons on the rear

 

[rizk828]

sx single carb. sxi dual carb.sxi pro xtra hp and hull

pro has sponson's. Longer ride plate, smoother ride.

 

[63chevyll]

pro fiberglass hull, smc top deck

 

[SuperJETT]

SX - single Keihin carb 63hp
SXi - dual carbs (Keihin in 95, Mikuni 96+), 75hp 'big pin' engine
SXi Pro - same dual carb engine 75hp, better bottom deck
SXR - new hull, bigger engine, etc.

SO it looks like my '96 SXi is the most desirable year for a "non -Pro" ski. cool.

The fiber glass bottom would be nice though. but arent the pros heavier?

 

[tor*p*do]

the small pin SX has the best bottom end (for a Kawi)
those cylinders are now getting desirable

The Pro's have a different intake tract too. The regular SXI has a higher top speed.

really? so 12 more ponies is not a good thing?

It was all topend. My 550 mod would out accelerate my '95 SXi and was dead even on top at 49mph. I did eventually get the SXi up ~55mph with an 11/19 impeller, but bottom/mid weren't there.

ok.. that makes some sence. you think that shaving the head and lightend fly wheel would make the difference or is it all in port timing??
