Thanks to Kevin Seeber at Kingsland Marine we have some pictures of the new 2009 SeaDoo Sport Boats Line-Up!  Here is a quote from Kevin, he is attending the SeaDoo convention in Dallas.

I will send pics of the 150 Speedster tomorrow as it isn't here. It will be available in 155, 215, and 255 HP configurations and looks like the 2006 model with black hull and either red or yellow top. The 180 Challenger is available in red or blue hull in either thr regular or SE editions. The 230 Challenger is available in either dark red or a light beige in the regular, SE, or SP model whch has the same colors as the WAKE without a lot of the Wake options. The maximum horsepower is 510, the SP is either 310 or 430, the regular is 310 only, the SE model is either 430 or 510 as is the WAKE! The 200 and 230 Wake are pretty much the same design as is the Islandia. The 200 Speedster is now available in either white or red, the only horsepower available is 430. The Utopia has a new black hull and is available in either 310 or 430 HP. Gotta go!

Wow, the Challenger looks way better in red. And now with 255 hp it will be a little quicker. Looks like I will be making a trip to the dealer soon.

I like the red Challenger 180. I really like the speakers in the bow seating area.  Cool!

[Kevin Leclair]

The red Challenger definitely looks nice, I really like the new 255 HP!

So does that mean the 200 Wake has the 510 package available or just the 230 version...? I would love the 200 wake w/ the 510 Maybe time to upgrade from my Sportster...

Thanks

2009 SEA-DOO 200 Speedster

The seven-seater 200 Speedster model ramps up the excitement with a hull tuned for performance and sure handling. At 20 ft (9 m), the Sea-Doo 200 Speedster commands instant respect and attention.

Power: The 200 Speedster sport boat is all about pulse-pounding performance with best-in-class power-to-weight ratio thanks to its 430 hp supercharged and intercooled Rotax® 4-TEC® twin engine package.

New Colour: For 2009, the Sea-Doo 200 Speedster is available in a new Bright White coloration or in Viper Red.

Bold and Eye-Catching: The 200 Speedster styling makes a bold, look-at-me, performance statement, with sleek lines highlighted by new black-colored rails and a unique wedge-shaped sun pad.

Amenities and Features: Sea-Doo 200 Speedster standard features include:

• Full instrumentation dash, including AM/FM/CD satellite-ready* stereo with 4 speakers and MP3 port
  
• New for 2009, a depth finder is included as standard equipment
  
• Dual rear storage and built-in cooler
  
• Passenger windscreen that doubles as a lockable cover for even more storage
  
• Remote engine storage release that allows security for belongings when the boat is not in use
  
• New driver and passenger seats that track and swivel 180 degrees for socializing or spotting water sports
  
• Pop-up ski pylon that neatly tucks out of the way when not in use

New Optional Wakeboard Tower: A new optional Sea-Doo Wakeboardtower is available for the 2009 200 Speedster model. Foldable for ease of storing and constructed with larger 2 inch (5 cm) tubes, this new tower is sturdier and more durable for heavy-duty tow sports requirements.

...drooling over the red rocket! I knew there's a reason why I bought the extended warranty from Kevin: to sell my 08 faster and spend more dough on this 09!!! Hmmmm....how much is the 255 SE w/ tower? Thanks for the info Kevin and Kevin!

The 180 Challenger SE with tower will sell for around $28,500 with a galvanized trailer, closer to $30,000 if the dealer elected to get one of the new customized trailers available. I think you'll find the 2009 prices fairly high until dealers get rid of 2008 inventory and also because the delivery prices went up 40% in most cases. Combine that with a reduced percentage for MSRP and a wholesale price increase percentage that doubled from last year the 2009 Sea Doo product stands a good chance of being 30% higher than the 2008 boats. On the other hand the 180 has some major improvement in the hull with respect to the chine and lifting strakes resulting in obvious better ride and no tendency to fall off the chine in a turn any more.
