All,

Saturday, I put the 3UP HO Spark to the real test! I drove it 52 miles on the Mississippi River. I started with a full tank of gas, stopped to tie up with some buddies who played around with it for 30 minutes before I continued on my way. Not only is this jet ski an absolute blast, but I ran it WOT 80% of the trip and figure I got about 9-10 mpg. Truly amazing!!

Nice! That's right in my neighborhood. What was it like locking through on the Spark?

Glad to see there are some more Iowa people on here! Looks like a great trip! Can't wait to take mine out on the Mississippi again soon!

That sounds like a cool trip. One day I'll try a long distance run but it will take a lot of planning with the small gas tank on my spark.
