russellb;406246Could be the extra 100#'s of rating on the 3up would give you the extra buoyancy/stability you need. 2up was a blast to ride but I wouldn't buy one. If the 3up is more stable I might consider it. Haven't ridden 3up yet so can't say for sure.[/QUOTE said:I have a 3up. I weigh 220 and GF weighs 160 almost at the weigh limit of 450 with a combined weight of 380. When I take her son 100 pounds, I don't notice. With her, I feel iffy while ridding the spark. On the RXT with her, I don't notice.
So to me by myself, it's very stable.

Just wanted to write a second feedback after a couple months playing with the spark. I confess that the first time I rode my brand new spark and tipped 7 times, all I wanted was my money back! but I have since changed my mind.I am new at this, just bought a spark 3up and went for a ride this last weekend for the first time.
I was riding with my kid and partner all three are under 400lbs and after about 15 min riding we tipped and after trying to get back up 7 times, decided to swim to shore. I guess it was too heavy to carry 3...so why does it say 3up?
Also, I am a little scared now with the impression that it will tip over at any moment.
What are some tips so it doesnt feel so unstable ?
