There has been a lot of talk about how the Sea-Doo Spark is the most affordable PWC out there, but how does it compare to the best-selling Yamaha WaveRunner VX Sport?
The Looks
Sea-Doo Spark:
Yamaha WaveRunner VX Sport:
Price
Spark: $4,999
WaveRunner: $7,999
With a difference of $3,000, there is a huge contrast in price between the two PWCs!
Seating Capacity
Spark: 1-2 people
WaveRunner: 1-3 people
Fuel Capacity
Spark: 7.9 gal
WaveRunner: 18.5 gal
That is close to twice as much fuel capacity in the WaveRunner over the Spark.
Cargo Capacity
Spark: 0.42 gal, 7.42 gal with optional front storage bin
WaveRunner: 15.1 gal
Width
Spark: 46"
WavRunner: 46.1"
Length
Spark: 110"
Length: 126.8"
So to give an overview of the whole comparison, the Sea-Doo Spark is more affordable, but you do sacrifice some to get that affordability. The Spark can carry one less person, has 1/2 as much fuel capacity, and has half as much cargo capacity (if you buy the optional front storage bin.) The last thing to say is that the Spark is made from Polytec which is a recyclable, low density and high composite material that is strong, light and durable. Sure it is $3,000 less, but that money does buy you a lot of extra goods if you want to spend it on the best-selling Yamaha WaveRunner VX Sport.
