tires around here -central florida- are cheaper than a trailer.... just depends on how you feel about fixing up the one you have, vs. the expense of a new one. the spark is only about 500lbs approx.. so a small trailer should handle it quite easily. i used an older trailer to pick mine up from the dealer... shopped craigs list bought two older seadoos and a double trailer for 400.00... granted neither of the older ones ran, but i have been fixing old seadoos for many years. have a garage full of seadoo 2 stroke parts.. so have the new one for the GF and an older x-4 with a 720 in it for me
