Seadoo spark ?

Jon Piper · Mar 8, 2016

Does anyone on here have one ? Or any experience with one ?

They look pretty neat and are really inexpensive compared to other pwc...

Nowhere near as playful or sporty as I thought it would be....felt like a dumptruck and slow as hell out of the hole. Test drove a friends new 90hp with sport mode and it felt like a turd on the water :****: Couldn't wait to get back on my 2007 Kawasaki 250 ultra. Someone also told me the hull had to be taken apart in order to do any maintenance.

Nothing worse than a slow pwc.

Yep, except maybe a slow atv.

Check the fuses in the electronics box. It is "suppose" to be water tight. The electrical is not one of seadoo's strong points but the rotax is a durable engine.

I have a 95 seadoo xp. Slow is what a snail is, im unsure what you call the speed of the seadoo. Im not worried about speed just so the kids can play in the water "cheap".

The hull is designed to come apart so it's a **** ton easier to work on them like that. I've been around them but never had one on the water..

The hull splits in half in under 15 minutes. It makes it a pain to change spark plugs, but if you have to do any serious work it's pretty nice how open it is once the top hull is off. The whole hull is plastic too, not fiberglass. They aren't meant to compete with the big super and turbo charged PWCs. It's more like the old smaller lighter 2 strokes than the big modern 4 strokes out on the water.

The last one I had was a gp1200 Yamaha I really liked it,

We can be in the water in 15 minutes so I was thinking about picking up a 3up and a 2up for us to play some. I have no experience with the newer stuff , only the older 2smokes like the gp's xp's etc.

Man, just get a real boat!!

creepycrawly · Mar 9, 2016

Damn piper, I didn't know Jew had it like that. All boats have a big hole in them that you just constantly pour money into. I thought everyone knew that. The best kind of boat is someone else's. So hit me up when you get it and I'll come blast around on the lake! Hahaha.

I would like to see a real world test not a yamaha guy talking about it.

On the other hand my brother has a yamaha vtx non super charged and he rides the piss out of it and has zero issues and my cousin has a supercharged one that gets ridden like a grandpa. Only problem he has had is pouring water in the fuel tank.

Like I said, I had one and it was pure junk. Wish I would have seen the video before I bought mine.

Im not buying one or any other seedoo product. I have and friends have had a few seadoo products and we constantly worked on them.

Yamaha on the other hand we have just put gas and oil in them.

I don't doubt that they are junk. I am curious why they are ....

Did you have multiple issues with it ?

Hull problems ?

Leaks?

Slow ?

I think rzr 800's are junk too , but I have a list a mile long of crap that is wrong with them.

I guess what I'm asking is are they truly not worth the money ?
