It's under the seat.
There is a small access hatch that is on the port side. Enables access for BUDS. Also the "gas cap" on the starboard side is for the dipstick. Real gas cap is under the seat.
This place is already selling them. From facebook post.

LOL...yeah the old T-Birds were great. I was referring to the retro/modern T-Bird.
Supply and demand does effect pricing but I doubt it will effect the spark. The low price is one of its main selling points so why would you raise it. Now an increase in 2015 wouldn't surprise me. Only bad thing about the low price is there is no room to strike a deal on a discount. Because the demand will no doubt be high I'd be willing to bet dealer freebies like covers and such will be hard to find as well. No way there is as much profit in a $5000 ski as there is in a $18000 ski. Dealers won't have the profits to afford giving stuff away.
Not in my opinion anyway. On the flip side this may allow some great deals on some of the higher end skis if they aren't moving well.
Oh and Nick, that's a sweet T-bird. My wife had an 02 I believe it was with the 5.0 HO. Nice car. Kids came along in 98 and it was traded for a Windstar. :facepalm: And I agree Fords retro T-bird was a joke. Ugly as He**. Guess we know why it didn't stick around.

You would be surprised. In most new "Toy" vehicles.... there is little profit. But that's the beauty of this ski. The real money is in the "Add-on's". AND, that's how they are marketing this.
I bet in the base ski... the dealer will make $200. (unless they add on a stupid high Setup fee) BUT... they will make 50% to 75% on the financed add-on's. So... if they get you to buy the 3-up version, convenience pack, fire extinguisher, and a cover.... they will make $600 on those parts alone. Why else, do you think they are charging $80 for the bumpers???
Oh... let's not forget about the extended warranty. They make 50% on those too. That's why if you shop around... you can find them cheap !!
I work pretty close to several local dealers with my shop... and every one of them say they make more money on a used bike (that was traded) than a new bike. (and we are talking $17k to $25K Victory's) One of my dealers is willing to take a wash on a new bike, if you are trading in something nice !!! He knows that he may only make $500 at sticker on a new bike... but he may be able to make $2k re-selling the trade.
I agree.
The competitive market is strong anymore that the dealers need to keep the prices low.
It's the same as new cars anymore. Years ago before the Internet this was not the case.

Anyone know the price for the 90HP spark?

Well that would be 4999.99 for ski and 800 for the 900 ACE HO (90 hp)option...
I cant really take credit for it; It was my brother Jess' highschool car. Its a SC, lowered, shaved everywhere, fiberglass hood, etc. I can tell you how many times I slid sideways through an intersection. People would literally get out of their car at stop lights and give Jess High fives...lol
He sold it to my buddy who's got it up for sale currently.
Sorry I am the king of going off topic...carry on.
Oh and if you (or america's motorsports) think any dealer in the USA is going to have them in stock before the Watercraft dealer of the year is....they are sadly mistaken. (LOL well all the big dealers will be getting a few on or about the same day)
What?? Are you saying its a software update?.. Wow... So which means I should buy the $4999 one, wait for someone who can program it and buy the extension on the back?

Possibly. But, it may void the warranty, regardless if they sell it that way.
The extension is for the 3-up version. I haven't seen if they are going to sell it extra.
Well I really don't know it the software update is done at the factory or at the dealer, but yes that's the difference between the 60hp and the 90hp. Personally I'm not surprised, I work at a car dealership and this is very common in the automobile industry.

On one these other threads the issue of the 3 up added later was discussed. Since the USCG issues certs and capacity limits, the 3 up will only be offered as part of the original purchase. However, I'm sure replacement parts will be available but you would not be able to recertify it as a 3er.

So I stopped by the Sea Doo dealer today on the way home from work and got a quote.
The $4999.99 is for the 2up 60hp model with no manual reverse, IBR or "convenience package." Just start and go.
I got a quote for a 2up 90hp with IBR, rear boarding step and storage compartment for $6600.00 each.
3up with everything would be $7200.00.
