Designed for the sport performance seeker, the Speedster SK 16 offers high-end performance of close to 50 mph, fast acceleration and aggressive handling characteristics. It can tow a 200 pound skier, and it offers a wealth of standard convenience features. We tested the Sea-Doo Speedster SK 16 off Melbourne, Florida, on the Intracoastal Waterway. Two adults were aboard and there was 7 to 8 knots of wind. Under way, we noticed that the SK 16 is much quieter than previous jet boat models.
Exhaust is channeled through the pump cavity and resonators, to help reduce noise.
And a new hull design makes the Speedster SK 16 handle better in rough water. The boat tracks exceptionally well. Three strakes have been added to help the boat corner better and keep the cockpit drier. The SK 16 is just plain fun to drive. The twin engines get it up on plane quickly, and its dual jet pumps make for a fast, exciting ride.
