Sea-Doo Speedster 150 Jet Boats For Sale

The Sea-Doo Speedster 150 is a trailerable jet boat built for water sports and easy lake days, seating four across a driver's bucket and passenger seats with full digital instrumentation. Power comes from a Rotax engine mounted as a supercharged direct-drive jet, with no propeller shaft or outdrive. Two outputs were offered over the run: a 215-horsepower 1.5-liter supercharged and intercooled Rotax, and a 255-horsepower 1.5-liter supercharged intercooled version sharing the engine used in the RXP-X personal watercraft. Sea-Doo ended production of its boats in 2012, so anyone shopping a Sea-Doo Speedster 150 for sale today is buying out of a finite used pool.

Performance depends on which engine you find. The 255-horsepower 150 Speedster recorded a top speed of 58.3 mph at 8,000 rpm, reached 30 mph in 5.6 seconds, and got on plane in 2.3 seconds, tested with a 380-pound load and 15 gallons of fuel. Its most economical cruise was 35.1 mph at 6,000 rpm, burning 7.8 gallons per hour. The test impeller was a 6.25-inch-diameter variable-pitch four-blade stainless steel unit. A 215-horsepower 2008 example ran to 48 mph and settled into a comfortable cruise around 27 mph at 5,000 rpm. The hull turns sharply, and dockside maneuverability is precise.

The helm runs Sea-Doo's intelligent throttle control, a digital fly-by-wire system that handles forward, neutral and reverse without cables. Pushing a button engages eco mode, which lets the engine computer hold the most economical speed, while docking mode caps engine speed at roughly 3,800 rpm for low-stress handoffs at the ramp. A full-function digital gauge sits in the center of the dash, displaying rpm, fuel burn, a compass and an hour meter. The 2012 redesign brought MasterCraft-inspired gauges, a reworked sundeck and aft cover, and two color choices, orange and a light green.

Storage is worked into nearly every surface. A large locker in the cockpit sole swallows a wakeboard, skis and gear; a push-and-twist locker serves passengers; a deep helm locker holds tools and a first-aid kit; and a captain's tray with auxiliary input and a 12-volt outlet keeps a phone or music player at hand. Pulling a T-handle opens a fiberglass-lined aft storage compartment for safety equipment.

For water sports, the 150 Speedster carries a standard pop-up ski pylon positioned well forward in the hull for better control behind an aggressive rider. The broad swim platform is coated in non-skid, has two grab handles and a retractable reboarding ladder, and additional grab handles are fastened throughout the cockpit. An optional anodized tow tower folds down for trailering and storage. The strong hole shot and quick plane make it well suited to wakeboarding and skiing.

When evaluating a used Sea-Doo Speedster for sale, the supercharger is the item to check, since one 2008 boat with roughly 80 hours showed slightly rough running traced to it. A serviced 2008 example with 108 hours on the engine came with a galvanized trailer, ski pylon, ski locker and mooring cover, with cosmetic spider cracks in the yellow hood panels and tower mounts left from a removed tower. Hours, supercharger service history and whether the tower is still fitted are the main points to weigh.
