I've been boating for longer than many of you are old in a variety of craft. PWC-wise I have a 96 Sea Doo GTX and an 82 Wetbike. The GTX has been a lot of fun for me and my family, but after 15 years I wanted something updated and the Spark seemed to fit the bill. I'm in Minnesota but my wife and I spend January and February in Lake Placid Florida. I was planning to buy a base Spark down there and tow it back, but I ran across this hardly-used 2014 with HO engine, convenience package, and Yacht Club trailer at a great price. That's right, it hasn't even finished the break-in period yet.
Had it out for the first time today, and so far I am very pleased. The acceleration is Sport mode is amazing. Handles really well, and although I did not find a great boat wake to jump today, it's evident that one can get as much air as at least I would want.
Towed it 250 miles with my Hyundai Elantra GT and got 32.5 mpg, only a couple of mpg less than similar roads and speeds (65 mph) sans trailer, so happy about that as well.
Not sure if this one was subject to the handlebar recall or if it was fixed, so I will try calling Bombardier Monday to find out.
