I had a GTI 3 seater like 20 years ago, but I am getting the itch again(midlife crisis) . This looks like a great way to get back on the water without robbing my retirement account. Bought right you should be able it get a few years of enjoyment then sell it with little depreciation , good review
Got a lead on a pair of 2017's and a trailer for 10k. Low hours. No IBR, you said it's super important, and I would think so, but the seller says he never uses it. Is he just trying to sell them? Read somewhere that it idles so low it's not really an issue. Would like to hear your opinion Thanks for the review.
Yeah they dont move much at idle...and reverse isnt that hard to add at a dealer. For 10k that's a decent deal with low hours and with at least 1 having a 90hp
I see you made the winterize video and I'll be watching that soon. But as someone who's looking to buy their first sea doo I'm wondering what the prep work for going out is, and what services and care I need to do after a day of riding. Also what should I do if I ended up flipping it (maintenance wise)? Thanks for the video!
GREAT VID MAN!! THANX!! Very thorough!! ImLooking at buying Spark right now!??). How does Spark STAY ON TRAILER!? Nose connect (no straps!?) (i own a boat , has straps).
It holds up on the the trailer without a strap really well for average local driving, from the dock an home. I run a small 1 inch strap around the back of the tow hook to the trailer hooks at the back if i get on the highway for safety reasons.
Any new updates? I just picked up the white 2015 2 up with IBR with 25hrs. Jacked up the wear ring after launching it.. sucked up a rock in 2 feet of water. My screwup!, Need to replace my white seat since it has pinking. Didn’t due I ton of research before I bought it, just hoping I don’t have the issues with driveline as have been reported with the pre 16’s.
Bryce, you will want the 3-Up model. Not that you couldn't pull with the 2-Up model, but some laws may require a spotter. Driver + Spotter + Skier will not pass the 2-Up load.
You can't unfortunately with the 2up(2 seater) because you have to have a seat for the tube rider an a spotter. You can on the 3 ups. It has plenty of power to pull. Depending on where you live the laws may differ.
I think the only problem I have with them is the color scheme, I swear it's like they let a three year old go crazy with a bag of markers, then they came out with a tasteful orange and black color but ruined it keeping it with the 60hp model and not the 90hp.
ivan boss I would say mixed because I cruise at half throttle then i open it for a long stretch so many times in a days ride I would say you can ride for 6 hour day of on an off. It could be even longer I’m just guessing. I was out last weekend at the beach an used a half take in 5 hours with two people on it.
NEVER BUY JETSKI/PWC WITHOUT A TRAILER (make it a package deal!!! Pain in ass DEALING WITH DEALERS AN CRAIGLIST IDIOT/fakes). Also NEVER BUY A BOAT WITHOUT A MOTOR!!!

I bought a '23 for my daughter's and catch myself using it more than them. It's a great little scooter on the water and is extremely fuel efficient.
You’ve done a great job buddy, best one I’ve seen so far 😀👍

Great video. I just purchased a 2015 3 up and you answered a lot of my questions. Thanks

Thanks for the video!
Aaron Koscielski I can make a video explaining prep that I do an what I thing is best for the ski. I can answer those questions for sure.
Good video bro, thinking of buying one this winter just cant decide with the spark trixx, Yamaha exr, or gti 130
Have you done a long river adventure yet? And how is the ski holding up?
An outstanding great in-depth review!👍👍👍
U can buy different colors seats I’m getting a blue seat for my 2015 sea doo spark 3 up

Thanks for the vid, this will be used to inform my purchase
Im glad it gave you an insight. Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it.

Im wondering if the driveline issues are related to installing SS wear ring.
@@gregson99 that is correct, thats when the issues begin.
I bought the comfort seat and love it. No other issues yet. didnt get out this much this year with covid.
Hope your not riding it with that oil cap missing, if you roll it over the hull will fill with water quick through that hole
I just bought a 2018 spark today! It will be ready for pickup friday!
Frank Scaturro that is awesome dude glad to hear. Congrats an have an awesome time.
Super helpful! Thanks for making this!
Great video!! You answered a lot of my questions👍
Is your trailer like extended. It seems longer
Hi Shane, you can buy a grey and black comfort seat of the seadoo website
thats awesome ill have to check it out thanks for the info!
Thanks for the information
Are you able to pull anything behind these? Like a small tube or one skier?
Bryce, you will want the 3-Up model. Not that you couldn't pull with the 2-Up model, but some laws may require a spotter. Driver + Spotter + Skier will not pass the 2-Up load.
dustoff499 okay thank you
Great review. You are a very likeable guy.
Awesome review thank you very much
Perfect review thanks 👍🏻
Good review mate, well done.
are you able to pull a tuber or skier behind it/ Thanks.
You can't unfortunately with the 2up(2 seater) because you have to have a seat for the tube rider an a spotter. You can on the 3 ups. It has plenty of power to pull. Depending on where you live the laws may differ.
Blake You need a 3/UP TO TOW BRO (i just bought a 2-up im cheap (first pwc))!!
3 up also has 90hp stock. But I've seen 2 up 60hp tow tubers easy in legal states
I think the only problem I have with them is the color scheme, I swear it's like they let a three year old go crazy with a bag of markers, then they came out with a tasteful orange and black color but ruined it keeping it with the 60hp model and not the 90hp.
Nice review! Thanks for the video.
No problem, Thank you for a response i greatly appreciate it.
Good good video!! I want one now 😮
Hi Shane,what about fuel economy(full throttle,cruising speed?)
ivan boss I would say mixed because I cruise at half throttle then i open it for a long stretch so many times in a days ride I would say you can ride for 6 hour day of on an off. It could be even longer I’m just guessing. I was out last weekend at the beach an used a half take in 5 hours with two people on it.
ivan boss tank*
ShaneBaileyVlogs thank you for your answer!I’m planning to buy one soon.Spark is most fuel efficent jet ski on the market??
What do you mean by large waves? like how many feet?
like 3-5 ft
Get the new comfort seat.
Is this the 60HP or 90 HP model?
This did not have to be a 20 minute video. But i liked it. =)
Great video
👍
3:48
Closed loop cooling
Can you do a winterization video?
Yes I can have it up in a few days.
@@shanebaileyvlogs7046 awesome thank you! Just picked up a 2016 this year
