- None of the two GSX model years verified, which needs a check against the maker's own document, which the row names, and an engine figure; all two name a source below.
Sea-Doo numbers are the ones the sport names each engine by, and can differ from the measured size: a 787 measures 781.6, a 947 measures 951.
Not your year? For other GSX years: GSX Limited, 1997 to 1999; GSX RFI, 1999 to 2001.
