Feels like it. First issue was the recalls, then had an extremely heavy workload in august plus weather wasn't helping. Being in New Jersey, warm weather didn't last long especially since it was an extremely mild summer, often cold on the water. It didn't start getting warm until recently and I focus a lot on my schooling. Spending 3 days a week there, then being at work the rest, there's no time for the ski. I had a chance last week. Got down the shore and girlfriend left the keys up north so killed that chance. I'm looking to sell since I literally have no time to ride it.

theres always time to ride it! I sometimes go on it after work for 10 to 20 mins before the sun goes down, but i guess im a jet ski addict takes longer to drive there and unload then i get to ride it, but its all worth it , get a wetsuit haha! i dont usally come off mine so i just wear shorts and a jumper to stop the wind ))))))))

Started stripping mine apart today for the new hull. Came with FACTORY SCRATCHES .lol. so I been riding it for 3 months waiting for the new hull.

Thats crap man, how? hows the weather in nsw? its nice hear in wa perth

My dealer said all the 2015 models have had hull scratches. Mine were pretty bad . so I bought it and rode it 3 months waiting for the new hulls to come to oz. The dealer is a friend we stripped it out and put it in the new hull. The new hull is a lot smoother on the bottom. And no scratches . also top speed is now 91km/hr . so I'm really happy. Been raining a bit here but mainly dry and slight offshore winds. Makes for good days out on the head. Almost pulled my wetsuit on yesterday. lol.

Changed the wear ring.

Installed my steel ring today top speed was 5km/hr less.
Rode the absolute Jesus out of her seemed to hook up a lil quicker.
Then washed her .lol.

Installed VTS on my Spark.. It was a bitch, but it works!

5 km/hr less? Did you change the prop aswell? If you dont have IBR the speed os based on the rpms. The new ss ring probably reduced cavitation, wich reduces rpm and (if you dont have IBR) therefore reducing speed on the display. With IBR the sparks gets a gps, so then the speed is based on that.

No didn't do prop. I see what your saying . I was only revving to 8080 rpm before it would run to 8270. No IBR.

I've had my spark for two weeks probably already have 20 hours on it. Installed the VTS kit right after my first trip out. (Super easy even for the most novice of mechanics or Do-it-Yourselfer) Have to say it was well worth the $200 kind of disappointed SeaDoo didn't make it a stock feature but never the less it made the already very agile spark much more enjoyable. Brought it to the lake this morning and could only go a snails pace at full throttle.... Two hours and a trip to the nearest BRP dealer for parts later I had the new wear ring installed and back getting wet! I am disappointed to hear all of the backlash on the spark but I would say SeaDoo hit the nail on the head with this one. Coming from a Motorcross background it's refreshing to be able to get out on the water and throw around a unit and not be at the mercy of the machine like you are on the bigger glass boats. More than pleased with my purchase and will definitely be picking up another one shortly for the wife.

Spark Stereo installation. I installed a Boss 500W Bluetooth Amp with (2) 6.5" & (2) 5.25" speakers. NO thru-hull cutting. Very loud, low battery drain, all waterproof. Love it. 11 hours on the lake today with no issues.

Installed VTS which took about 20 minutes (super easy to do and is well worth the $$$) went out for a rip to test it out! It's amazing how much it changes the characteristics of it.

Continuously riding on the spark, I am so tired today. I just cleaned off all the water spots today, and that's enough.
