The total storage capacity was a remarkable 33.8 gallons! One of them was placed under the seat while the other was hidden under the windscreen. These were a glove box in front of the rider and two smaller buckets. The new hull was 47 inches wide and 121 inches long, which was more than 3 inches longer than the GTX hull.ДЄlthough the machine was marketed as a 3-seater model, it was actually only comfortable for two adults and a child, just like todayвЂ™s Rec-Lite PWCs.Д«esides the large front storage, the new GTI platform offered three other smaller storage spaces. This means that the GTI reached its planning speed quickly but cut the chop nearly as effectively as a deep-V-shaped hull.ДЇinally, many riders found the new GTI easier to handle than the flagship Sea-Doo GTX models. Its semi-V design offered great performance and was very comfortable at the same time. This new platform had some DNA from the RX line, but it was extended to handle the weight of three passengers. The introduction of this new platform on the basic GTI line surprised the market, as manufacturers typically reserve new inventions for flagship models. In the following years, except for some new color schemes, the GTI remained unchanged until 2001, when Sea-Doo released the all-new fiberglass-reinforced GTI hull. The 1996 Sea-Doo GTI put out 85 HP, as it was powered by a 718cc, 2-stroke, Rotax twin engine. The dry weight of the machine was 484 pounds while the weight capacity was rated at 496 pounds. The dimensions of the 1996 Sea-Doo GTI were also remarkable, as it was 119 inches long and almost 47 inches wide. This all-new 3-passenger platform featured a large 2-piece saddle, 12-gallon fuel tank, 1.2-gallon oil tank, and roomy storage. The GTI shared the hull with the flagship GTX but was powered by a less powerful (Rotax 717) engine and lacked the LCD gauge as well. Besides the GTI, the new 2-seater GSX was also unveiled that year. The first Sea-Doo GTI hit the market in 1996 and was positioned as a middle-level 3-seater model.
