I haven't ridden the RXP, I own and RXT, and I love it. I can get out and act like a complete fool on the water and I can't imagine it being any funner. In general, the smaller the PWC, the sharper you can turn them. The RXT cuts REALLY well, I just can't say enough good things about it.

Decision really depend on what you are looking for? I purchased the RXT for the size and ability to carry 3 people, compared to the RXP which you are limited to a 1 person machine which is classified as more of a racing watercraft. Both have same horsepower, only difference is size and weight. I am able to have close to 400lbs on my machine and still able to yank a skier out of the hole.

I own a 2005 RXT and my buddy has a 2005 RXP. Both machines are factory governed for 70mph. They both reach 70 with no problem. Although I find that my RXT reaches it a little faster and is a lot smoother ride. The RXP may turn a little sharper but I have no problem whipping mine around. We are both about the same weight and I find that when I am on his I wish I were back on mine. There is a slolam course set up on our lake and I have about 10seconds on him in the end. I find his machine easily picks up water in the turns and throws it in your face. By the time you can see again you are into the next turn. If you want to get wet, buy an RXP.

I am not badmouthing the RXP but the RXT is more stable and it stays in the water better than the RXP. Plus state law requires that to pull a tube or a waterskier you need to have a 3-person machine so you have room for everybody.

did you get your question answered from what i have been told the RXP does flip a lot unless you are a very experienced rider where the RXT does not. Other than that I don't know much just bought a used RXT 2005 taking it in the shop tomorrow it does not sound right???
