I had a GTI 3 seater like 20 years ago, but I am getting the itch again(midlife crisis) . This looks like a great way to get back on the water without robbing my retirement account. Bought right you should be able it get a few years of enjoyment then sell it with little depreciation , good review
Got a lead on a pair of 2017's and a trailer for 10k. Low hours. No IBR, you said it's super important, and I would think so, but the seller says he never uses it. Is he just trying to sell them? Read somewhere that it idles so low it's not really an issue. Would like to hear your opinion Thanks for the review.
Yeah they dont move much at idle...and reverse isnt that hard to add at a dealer. For 10k that's a decent deal with low hours and with at least 1 having a 90hp
I see you made the winterize video and I'll be watching that soon. But as someone who's looking to buy their first sea doo I'm wondering what the prep work for going out is, and what services and care I need to do after a day of riding. Also what should I do if I ended up flipping it (maintenance wise)? Thanks for the video!
GREAT VID MAN!! THANX!! Very thorough!! ImLooking at buying Spark right now!??). How does Spark STAY ON TRAILER!? Nose connect (no straps!?) (i own a boat , has straps).
It holds up on the the trailer without a strap really well for average local driving, from the dock an home. I run a small 1 inch strap around the back of the tow hook to the trailer hooks at the back if i get on the highway for safety reasons.
Any new updates? I just picked up the white 2015 2 up with IBR with 25hrs. Jacked up the wear ring after launching it.. sucked up a rock in 2 feet of water. My screwup!, Need to replace my white seat since it has pinking. Didn’t due I ton of research before I bought it, just hoping I don’t have the issues with driveline as have been reported with the pre 16’s.
I think the only problem I have with them is the color scheme, I swear it's like they let a three year old go crazy with a bag of markers, then they came out with a tasteful orange and black color but ruined it keeping it with the 60hp model and not the 90hp.
You can't unfortunately with the 2up(2 seater) because you have to have a seat for the tube rider an a spotter. You can on the 3 ups. It has plenty of power to pull. Depending on where you live the laws may differ.
Bryce, you will want the 3-Up model. Not that you couldn't pull with the 2-Up model, but some laws may require a spotter. Driver + Spotter + Skier will not pass the 2-Up load.
ivan boss I would say mixed because I cruise at half throttle then i open it for a long stretch so many times in a days ride I would say you can ride for 6 hour day of on an off. It could be even longer I’m just guessing. I was out last weekend at the beach an used a half take in 5 hours with two people on it.
NEVER BUY JETSKI/PWC WITHOUT A TRAILER (make it a package deal!!! Pain in ass DEALING WITH DEALERS AN CRAIGLIST IDIOT/fakes). Also NEVER BUY A BOAT WITHOUT A MOTOR!!!
