$409 is about as good as it's going to get and eBay is definitely going to be your best bet unless you find somebody on the forums that wants to swap or sell.
That may be true what the dealer is saying, but in all the jet skis (including my two sparks) that I've owned, I've never noticed such a thing.
btw...I'm originally from WV. Go Mountaineers!
I have a little mushroom anchor that I keep in the rxp. I've never had any trouble using the sand anchors with the sparks or even the rxp when we tried it with that.
Congrats! Living on the water is what it's all about...for me at least lol I would tell you to enjoy, but I know you already are going to.
Definitely start a remodel thread. I always enjoy following threads like that.
Congrats on the new spark! They are so much fun!
1. Weeds suck. Weeds have clogged my skis and screwed up the speedometer on my boats. I wouldn't know how you could operate in much of that.
2. I personally have jetdock for my skis, but there are others I know with those socks that have no...
Although, this is an undoubtedly an unpopular opinion around here, I tend to agree to a point. Roughly 20% the value of a ski seems a bit steep to gain a few rpms or whatever the tune does exactly. That said, I guess if that's the price they want to charge for R&D and the market will pay for it...
I say beach it! I have two and we beach them every single time we take them out. When I pulled them out of the water for the winter I checked just for the heck of it. They look new down there to me.
Going to make mats for a couple of my skis and the hydro turf I have doesn't have any adhesive already on it. What do you guys recommend for something like this?
