The 2026 Sea-Doo GTI is a highly versatile and stable Recreation PWC, designed to be the perfect all-rounder for family fun, tow sports, and extended cruising.
The GTI utilizes the proprietary GTI® Hull, constructed with Polytec™ material. This durable, lightweight material offers predictable, confident handling and is more scratch-resistant than traditional fiberglass, boosting both performance and peace of mind. The vessel’s design maximizes space, featuring the largest platform in its category, which enhances stability and serves as a large lounge area.
Engine, Performance, and Fuel
The GTI is powered by the Rotax 1630 ACE™ naturally aspirated engine, available in two primary configurations:
- Rotax 1630 ACE™ – 130 HP: Offers smooth, crisp acceleration and great fuel economy, making it ideal for cruising and general watersports.
- Rotax 1630 ACE™ – 170 HP (GTI SE): The most powerful naturally-aspirated Rotax engine, delivering high output power for adrenaline-packed rides and enhanced towing capability.
Both engines run on standard 87 octane gasoline and feature the Closed-Loop Cooling System (CLCS), an industry-exclusive technology that prevents corrosive saltwater from reaching the engine block. Fuel capacity is a substantial 70 liters (18.5 US gal) for extended range.
Technology, Control, and Comfort
The GTI platform is loaded with features designed for ease of use and safety:
- iBR® (Intelligent Brake and Reverse): This system is recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard for improving safety, allowing riders to stop sooner and providing stable, easy control for low-speed maneuvering and docking.
- iDF™ (Intelligent Debris-Free Pump System): Standard on GTI SE models, this ingenious system clears clogs of weeds or debris from the intake with the simple push of a button.
- Storage and Accessories: The vessel provides an impressive 152.8 liters (40.3 gal) of total storage, including a large front bin and a watertight phone compartment. The integrated LinQ® system on the swim platform allows for quick accessory attachment (like coolers and fuel caddies).
