I have a deep respect for how dangerous and unforgiving the water can be . When I ride the Spark I have no intension what so ever of landing in the water, I use caution to avoid jumping waves and try not to over reach based on water conditions. All that being said I don't find the touring mode on the 3 up ( putting out 60 hp ) to be responsive enough except for use in a no wake zone .I always use the sport mode (90 hp). It makes the ski an entirely different beast. It has little to do with top speed for me. I consider 40 + mph
fast enough for traveling in a 9 foot mini boat but the way it responds at 90 hp is a much more satisfying experience.with 2 people on board I think it needs the 90 just to not compromise safety by suffering from being under powered.
