I also bought a used 2014 Spark 3Up IBR this summer. I know this is an older post but it could help others. My top speed was just like yours 48 MPH. I installed a new wear ring and a Solas 12/17. I just added a ribbon delete. Now the top speed is 52 MPH and bottom end is much improved...

Good point the boys and I took a full day boaters safety course. This is required for anyone under 16 to ride alone in SC. If you take the online course you have to retake it each year but the live training class is good until they turn 16 and can ride alone. They have to carry the cards with...
