Those sparks are junk. Find a 96 seadoo HX with the 720 motor. Def a workout. Not equal to riding a standup but way better than a couch.

...or a '93-'96 Wave Blaster. I've had three and they're bulletproof, even with some mods.

It's just about as fun drinking beer at the dock and watching people try to ride it.

I have been running a 2004 rxp and a 2008 rxp-x, they run like clockwork, synthetic oil changes and new plugs every year, super gas and stable. the rxp-x will jump clean out of the water from a standing start, lots of fun with near 70mph peformanace.

the reviews on the sparks have been very positive especially in the handling area. Lightweight with nearly the same power to weight ratio as their bigger brothers when equipped with the option engine

Pay a reputable shop to check a used one out for you. If the seller has an issue with that, you probably don't want the ski anyway.

I've done this with a ski for sale 4 hours away. Seller dropped it off at a shop to get checked out, my friend picked it up there, and I picked it up from my friend's a month later.

Picked up a new 04 sesdoo gti leftover in 06.....plain jane entry model 2stroke runs about 45ish but its been bulletproof. Run it WOT most of the time and pound it hard in the waves when its too rough to play in the boat. Only thing ever needed was a new battery, and regular change of the jet pump oil.
