SEADOO Spark On Water Review 

I learned the hard way since my first jet ski was a spark trixx and it cost almost $200 dollars to get spark plugs replaced!!!

Thanks for watching, I greatly appreciate it. These truly are a fun ski and definitely worth the price point. I get tired of people talking trash on them saying they are under powered, honestly I feel like these individuals do not know how to have fun. Good luck getting your ski and enjoy it when you do!

You’re very welcome, thank you for the kind feedback. I feel like people appreciate honesty and this is my experience. Cause I get tired of the RXP owners talking trash on the spark when in reality it is a perfectly fine ski in capable of doing many things. Get out and enjoy it, thanks again!

That's awesome you are going to love them as they truly are so much fun. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Come back and let me know what you think after you've had a chance to ride them.

LOL can’t deny that it’s an adrenaline rush!

Thanks for watching I hope you have a great time with it!

That is fantastic you are going to have an absolute blast. I do believe that the color scheme that I have is the best looking, however they do have some skins that you can buy that dramatically changes the look and it looks pretty awesome. Regardless of color they are still a very enjoyable ski so get out there and have some fun.

You are very welcome, thank you for the kind feedback. For a first time JetSki owner, these are the skis to have.

I unfortunately have not had mine out this summer and the batteries have since died. Not sure if I’m going to be able to recover them by charging them or if I’m going to have to replace them. I am not looking forward to having to remove the top from the bottom but I’m sure like anything else the more you do it the better you get. Thanks again for watching enjoy your summer!

@@brandonpekarek8032 Sounds like you're having the same type of summer I am. Neither of mine have hit the water yet and July is almost over. Bums me out. The batteries can be removed without pulling the top. It's tight but you should be able to stretch the rubber battery strap and get them out. Getting them back in is pretty simple. Putting the hold down strap back on however isn't. Good luck

How are these holding up for you? I'm on the verge of buying one and am curious about durability and how often things may need to be fixed.

@@charlieboudreau5172 Mine are holding up well with nothing other than annual oil changes. We've had a really disappointing summer here in the NE with almost the entire month of July being a wash out. Have only put 6 hours on them so far this season. Truth be told, with so little use I wish I had just left them covered and written them off till next year. Now I'll have to go back and winterize them again in a month or so. Certainly not worth it.

That's awesome I'm glad you like the it. I just took ours out today and had a blast as always. They truly are a great machine and they are what you make of them. There's definitely enough power and they truly are great for the price. I agree that the IBR is a great option I'm glad my 3 up had it. I always ride in sport mode as it definitely makes a huge difference and makes the ride more fun. Get out and enjoy it while it's still warm!

I agree I will have it out all weekend. Woohoo

I could not agree with you more. I too have owned XP and I must say that was a very unstable ski. These are very light and very stable and super fun to thrash around. Your absolutely right about the RXP guys it's cool to go fast in a straight line if that's what your into, I personally enjoy throwing the ski around and having s good time on the water. Thanks again for watching and sharing your comments!

I definitely think you and your family will enjoy. For the price you cannot beat the amount of fun that these machines produce. Enjoy your summer and thanks for watching!

Lol thanks bro!

Thank you so much for watching!

I always watch my surroundings and make sure we are a ways out before we start them. I always pump mine to ensure there’s no loose gravel or anything in the intake. Good advice thanks for the info!

@@brandonpekarek8032 Hello, this problem happened to my friend. I am curious, what do you mean by pumping the seadoo? Thanks in advance!

Naaaa, i start mine up in 2-3feet of water just don't gun it fast!

I honestly don’t think you will regret it they are a ton of fun and you will have an amazing time riding them. I don’t know about you but I’ve never seen anybody with a sad face on a JetSki lol

So I’m not too sure about this question. I do not know if you buy the 2 up high output if it stays in sport mode all the time. I would assume it would be like my 3 up where it gives you the option to go into both modes. The high output is just a flash of the computer which opens up the governor on the motor. Basically all the motors have 90 HP but they flash the cpu and govern it which is what I’ve been told. The HO option will cost you close to $1000-$2000 more depending on the dealer, however if you do it online you can do it for a couple of hundred dollars and there are RU-vid videos on how to remove the computer. As I mentioned it will void your warranty so those are things to take into consideration. I prefer the three seater as it’s a little bit bigger ski the two-seater for me being a bigger guy can feel small at times. Maybe it would be different if I had the high output on it, Which is something I plan on doing here real soon now that I’m out of my warranty. Hope this helps!

I’m not sure what the different in the newer versus older models is but i would recommend getting what you can afford. If you decide on the 2 up I would recommend getting it with the 90hp because it is a very noticeable difference and you will want the extra hp to have some fun on!

So I can go all day on a tank of fuel in either mode. These machines use hardly any fuel and are great on gas! The seat I personally have no issues with. I know some people replace them with softer and better seats but they do not bother me. I think it’s personal preference on the seat. For the price I feel Sea Doo really put together a fun reliable little machine!

@@brandonpekarek8032 Thank you for the quick reply! That sounds great, I'm considering buying one of these machines someday, likely a 2up. Thanks for the info, great video!

I definitely think you won’t regret it they are a ton of fun!

Thank you for watching the video, so if yours is not going into sport mode there’s two possibilities as to why. The first would be the ski is not equipped with sport mode because it is an added option so be sure your ski has that option installed, secondly it could very well be the training key the way to tell the difference is the training key is usually green and regular key is usually yellow. If you have a training key on it will limit your speed and RPMs this is to teach younger kids how to ride the ski without going too fast. Hopefully these answer your questions double check everything prior to taking it to the dealer or they will charge you for nothing.

If you leave it in regular mode it’s 60 hp, if you activate sports mode it’s 90 hp. I think sport mode is on all 3 ups

As far as riding in the ocean I can’t comment as I have never done it. I can tell you that these things have a closed cooling system and with that they will be great in the ocean. I have ridden some pretty good chop and the hull handles it very well. I think as long as you ride with caution and don’t put this thing into rocks and what not you will be fine and have a great time.

User market is up rn people are begging for money

Thanks buddy!

The GTI is also a great ski and in my opinion would probably be the better buy for coasting. It’s a little larger of a ski with a better seat so I would explore that option if you have a choice. Thanks for watching!

Really just depends what state your in and what the dealers incentives are at the time of purchase. I didn’t get haggled with add ons I asked for the front storage bin and rear boarding step and it wasn’t much more. I would say with a ski and a trailer your prob in the $5-$6K range if you don’t do the HO and IBR option.

Reel Addiction thanks for the fast response, im in the elk grove area too. the bin and the step is all i really care about too. how much more is the 90hp option? were you able to go in and build one and do they charge for that?

FnA Auto I did mine over the phone cuz I’m about an hour plus from them. I don’t remember what the price difference is for the HO but trust me you will want the HO it’s noticeably different. Go on their website and you can see the price differences among models. You may even be able go pick up a last years model at considerable savings. I know they are in the process of moving store locations so call to see what your options are.

So if your saving up to get a ski don't let the IBR be the selling point for you. I like it and only one of my skis has it. It is a nice feature and is convenient if your going to be using it in right places like rivers and such. For lakes I don't think it's a necessity. To answer your question in my opinion it's worth having but not a must have if that makes sense.

Reel Addiction one more question. Does the ski have reverse regardless if you get ibr because I would like to have reverse

Spectrafy no buddy it doesn’t the IBR stands for intelligent brake reverse you have to buy the IBR in order to have the reverse feature.

Reel Addiction I meant to delete that comment haha because I realized that

Trouble free that's right

This was a Go Pro Hero 8 with a chest mount.

Thank you I very much appreciate that, believe it or not I am actually using a Go Pro Hero 8. Works excellent and does the job!

@@silverskaleztackle8507 Hell yeah! Love that it’s waterproof too. 🤘🏽

They are water socks from Amazon

Thank you, and yes it definitely has enough power to knock you around don’t let all the nay sayers tell you otherwise

@@brandonpekarek8032 one of these days I'll get one. Still rocking a 2 stroke wave raider but the spark is the only thing that seems to be similar in spirit. Exr is cool but still a little big. Never rode a seadoo

You have to remember this was a couple of seasons ago. Since Covid, prices for everything have gone up because people have been stuck at home. I got these at Elk Grove Powersports in California. Good luck finding a good deal, keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Did you get them new ?

No it’s a jet drive so the impeller and intake is underneath and has a grate over it. There are no blades on the back like a regular boat motor. The propulsion is made by the thrust of the water jet.

@@brandonpekarek8032 got it thanks

Major risks when the thrust is active. Read up on it.

I can go pretty much all day on a tank of gas.

Thank you for replying. I am looking into getting a spark but was a little concerned on the smaller gas tank versus the competition.

E. Melena They are so economical because of their size and light weight that you can literally play around all day on just one tank of gas. You will have an absolute blast on these I promise!

That’s awesome, I have never ridden the Trixx but I do know they have the higher HP and the more aggressive handlebars which will allow you to pull off some pretty cool moves. I really think your going to enjoy them just as much as we do our sparks. Come back and let us know how you like it after you have a chance to put some hours on it. Thanks for watching and take care!

I think you will enjoy it!

Not sure what you mean, I had been out on the lake all day I’m not sure why I would let it warm up when it’s been ridden all day long? It was very much warmed up by the time I shot this video.

Oh ok. Just from the beginning of the video it seems like that’s the first time you hop on it. Good video. Just bought one last week. I watched this video before I bought it.

That’s awesome I guarantee you’re going to love it. Yeah I have a pretty long no wake zone to get out to the main lake and that’s a good time to warm it up. Get out there and enjoy it while it’s warm!

Reel Addiction thanks man. I had it out this past Sunday. Some of the most fun I’ve had in a very long time. Glad I made the purchase. Keep the videos up.

Wtf
