I have a 3 up and go on long tours. I won't go out in big chop but I find it to be very stable when your up on plane. Good for my tours and allows me to really throw it around
We ride in medium to light chop most of the time and can usually cruise around 28. We have 3up and have a blast jumping and cutting circles, basically just playing around. Saturday we had about 15 mile run back in and was extremely choppy. It was a rough trip and we could barely maintain any consistent constant speed. My wife actually stopped a couple of times to take a break. She nor I have not ridden in that rough of chop before and it was tough. We went to one of the largest lakes in Ga. and will probably stay away from that lake when it is on a weekend. Just too busy and the bigger boats on the bigger lake make bigger chop.
All that said, medium to light chop is fun on the Spark to us. We did see many other skis that seemed to be struggling as well.
So now, are you totally confused. Lol
As Sarge and Sparkdream stated,most any ski could be a struggle in heavy chop.
I believe it is as TK423 says also. Try another rent and decide for yourself, we all have different ideas of what fun is, riding styles and fitness.
For just plain ole cruising, this may not be your preferred ski. The seat can be hard unless you buy an air ride cushion, they are light weight and in my opinion are made to play with more than just cruise.
I Agree! I would Not trade for a GTI or Yama Log BUT BRP please give us a Flatter, softer seat because a lot of people like going on Long Rides with the Sparks Great fuel economy???Well said...the ideal ski is what YOU like. A VX or a GTS/GTI may be the better option for you. I have had both- a VXR (bigger motor but same hull) and a Spark- for me the Spark is hands down more fun.
