The performances differences between the RXP-X and SHO are minor and the capability, amenity differences between the two are minor. Since they are both large, high performance crafts, and since we're assuming it's not possible to test ride each model, you should really consider the following:
Model History: First year for the SHO, RXP has been around since 04. Even though I've purchased several first year models in my life, this really is a legitimate issue and not just about the engine. Minor recalls and design flaws are pretty annoying.
Past Experience / Preference / Brand: Have any strong feelings here?
Looks: Yamaha is pretty however it's all buttoned up, RXP-X is a tiger in my opinion and really stands out in several different ways. Most of the high end Yamahas with the cushioned formed seats really turn me off and at the lake I only see senior citizens riding them.
Price: RXP-X is a full $1K more than the SHO.
Dealership: Location, service, people to your liking?
In the end though, I love all brands including Yamaha and have owned several of them, I couldn't really think of a harsh word to say about them. Every craft is going to have it's pluses and minuses before and after you buy it.

thats all good except the SHO is a three seater...... they make the cruiser which has the curved back seats,,,, but both are 3-seaters.... so you cant compare a SHO with a rxp-x,,
00 GP12R...triple piper...everything but an rxp pump/05 pump/propski mod
03 GP13R...stock...... conversion candidate
00 GP13R...bigbore

Yeah, I misspoke when I referred to the non-cruiser version of the SHO as a 2-seater but the context of my post was in regards to SHO, not the cruiser SHO. Let's also not forget what the original poster wanted, a comparison between those two specific models. Despite the rider capacity differences, the non-cruiser SHO will still compete in the marketplace against the RXP-X. Not to mention you can compare any PWC in creation against any other PWC, it just depends on what you're comparing. If I'm in the market for a PWC and I want something fast, and I'm not going to be taking more than one extra person or towing anything, that doesn't mean I can't look at the Yamaha. And the formed seats remark was outside my comparison and just happen to be my personal opinion in general.
It's funny, at the lake everyone tries to race me and outmaneuver me no matter what they're riding or I'm riding. Now I see how stupid I am, I should just yell to the guy on the SHO that his PWC doesn't "compare" with mine.

woah killer calm down, no need to get rude..... of course people can compare any ski to any other ski, freedom of speech..and im not telling him to not look at the yamaha, i own three why would i do that? please dont put words in my mouth, i never said you were stupid either.. all im saying is that they are two totally different skis, for two different purposes.... ones a 2-seater, one is a 3-seater, thats a big difference.... now wait till 09 and yammi has a 2-seater SHO then that will be in the same class as the rxp-x...... have you ridden either of them, cuz they dont compare to each other at all....

What's rude is to post your type of responses without actually taking in the full scope of what's going on, which is why I responded the way I did. I never said anything about you not recommending Yamaha. If you took the time to understand what was going on it was simply a statement to put the comparison of the RXP-X and the SHO into context, I could have just as easily made the same remark about the RXP-X. Yes they are in a different class because they are a 3-seater and a 2-seater but that doesn't matter if someone is in the market for a PWC and is only interested in certain features.
I read your profile the minute I saw you were a new member, I know you have 3 Yamahas. If you took the time to read mine you could really save some time.
