Surfriding New Hope For Seadoo?

[tk423]

How do the sparks do for 2up riding?

The seat isn't great for 2 up riding but the ski itself handles it just fine

look heavy vs (even) a blaster

They are surprising very very light, i have one for my girl and she loves it, we can both lift it on the trailer from the sand, front up then back up, just the two of us and she can drag it down to the water from beaching it, and shes not a very big girl either!

So anyone do an engine swap into a Blaster or SXR yet?

I have heard rumors that there are a couple SXR's being built or are already built.

I think it would be fun with a sc at that price point

Why is an SXR with a seadoo motor a good idea? 900cc? Isent it much heaver than an 1100?

turbo charge 4 stroke. Company that makes the turbo is claiming 165hp. =)

I am not sure what the validity of it is or if I was even understanding correctly but I was told that the turbo motors were less desirable in a race application because the lag/boost was tough to predict in the corners and they were able to tune these ACE motors up around 115hp naturally aspirated for a smooth powerband. You can get a Spark for less than what many people are paying for an aftermarket engine/exhaust/carb setup cost and easily tune it over 100hp through the ECU.

Aside from that, we had a handfull of Sparks at our ride this weekend and the guys seemed to like them, many guys were beating them up, beaching them at high speeds, hitting the double up and throwing them around without issues. I saw more Sparks do 180 stabs than Blasters.

This guy was testing the steering recall, it held up.

Are people no longer racing the turbo hydrospaces? Even if you didn't race, it would be fun as hell in a blaster.
