[QUOTE="fl-krawler, post: 667893, member: 884"] I've owned two sparks, putting almost 200hrs on each with no issues. The early ones had some issues with the plastic hulls splitting from playing hard in surf, or beaching them on rocky surfaces. 15min, and you could have the entire top off the ski, making cleanup after saltwater use, and maintenance a breeze (no contorting yourself to get to bolts etc). Both of ours were Vtech tuned so they had a top speed of around 55mph. Honestly I don't care about top speed and running flat out. I enjoy carving corners, whipping 360's, and the spark is a small flickable ski with a narrow seat, whereas most ski's are like sitting on a couch. Locally its next to impossible to find dealers who have them in stock, and when they do, they want full retail and are unwilling to budge off the price. I've owned a lot of jetski's over the years, and up until last year, I have more ski's than days in a week. I've thinned things out in the last year to two project '01 Seadoo RXDI's that I currently have. Just my personal opinion, but in terms of performance, and storage, nothing holds a candle to the seadoo jetskis.. With that said, they were also total **** boxes that constantly needed a lot of attention. The Yamaha's I owned were stone reliable. My favorite ski was my X2 and wave blaster. I'm actively looking to get another X2 or WB1. While the X2 doesn't like open water or surf, it was great as it only took 2 people to set it on our pontoon deck.
