Spark vs Gts130

[Rwolhar]

So I just saw a 2up and 3up spark next to a GTS130 and I must say... I like the GTS a lot more. The sea doo felt cheap and I did not like having to remove every hull screw to gain access to the battery! The three up full loaded spark is $8044 and the GTS is $8800. You get a ton more storage and better gauges and fiberglass for the extra $800 but you don't get the ibr. I have a lot of decisions to make ! I do mostly bay riding and I think the larger ski would be better for me..: anyone have a gts that can add to this ? Thanks

^^^meant to say the Spark looked cheap. The way people beat up these Sparks .... I'd be Leary of any longevity. Wonder how the hull will clean up vs fiberglass too... I am a Saltwater rider

Well....


You are the first to hit the choice we talked about a few months ago. A fully loaded 3 up spark is almost the same as a base 130.

I wish you luck with your choice, and keep us posted of your thoughts once you make that choice.

I'd go with the more proven ski for that kind of cash.

Thanks, the 3 up is very cozy on the spark as well.

Well... a "3-up" spark, really isn't "3-up". It's more like 2.5-up Or, 2 regular adults.

The allowable loading on the 130 is higher. (by 150 Lbs or so)


The spark falls into the old-school thinking. a 2 person ski is really a 1 person ski. and the 3 person is really a 2 person.
