The team at Sea-Doo, a subsidiary of Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) and sister brand to Can-Am, spent the better part of eight years creating the 2014 Sea-Doo Spark, and used the Sea-Doo's of the mid 1990′s as inspiration. Those were some of the first personal watercrafts (PWC's) to launch the sport into mainstream status. Since then, PWC's have gotten bigger, heavier and more expensive, causing the entire sport to become more of a niche with each passing year.

The Spark comes in two different versions, the 2up and 3up. They are essentially the same, but the 3up has a longer seat and an additional section bolted onto the back for additional stability and buoyancy.
The hull and deck are made from a material called Polytec, which is a low-density (lightweight) and high-impact composite material that is also 100% recyclable. They chose this because it was lighter than the typical fiberglass that is used in pretty much every other PWC on the market. It also has the added benefit of a matte finish that is often seen in the automotive space.
The structure of the Spark is created by the Exoskel, an all-new aluminum skeleton that keeps the essential parts in the front of the watercraft while maintaining a strong but lightweight frame.
Instead of gluing the hull to the deck, as is customary on other PWCs, they found a way to screw them together while maintaining structural integrity and a proper seal. Why? You can literally unscrew the deck from the hull in about 10 minutes, giving you completely open access to work on any of the internal bits that need attention. This will cut down both service time and expense as you no longer have to gain access through tiny service doors as is typical for PWCs.

As for the 3up model, the engine is the same Rotax 900 ACE engine found in many of the new Ski-Doo models. They offer two versions, the regular Rotax 900 ACE and the Rotax 900 ACE HO (high output) which is chipped to offer more horsepower. As with motorcycles, the Spark uses a fly-by-wire system that, in the HO engine, allows you to electronically choose between a Touring and Sport fueling options. The Spark also incorporates features found in many of its higher priced siblings. The iBR (intelligent brake and reverse) can stop the watercraft up to 100 ft sooner than others on the market and also makes docking incredibly easy with the reverse function.
The D-Sea-Bel system is basically a giant muffler in the rear of the Spark which greatly reduces any exhaust noise. Walking between the different docking areas, you won't hear the Spark on the water until about 20 yards away.
Sea-Doo uses a closed loop cooling system in the Spark, which basically acts as a radiator. This means you don't have to worry about flushing the engine out when you finish riding and are loading the ski.

With such a small and short hull, and with so little weight, the Sea-Doo Spark absolutely flies. 40 mph feels incredibly fast on the Spark, in the same way that 85 mph feels fast on the CBR250R.
The intelligent Brake and Reverse System (iBR) is incredible. On the big boys it's noticeable, but on the Spark it really stops the PWC quickly due to its lightness. It's both super fun to use and makes the Spark much safer for those around you should you get a little too rowdy and not see an obstacle or another person in front of you until it would normally be too late.
Sea-Doo had a ton of goals when creating the Spark, and we believe they met them all.
They said they wanted to make a PWC that was fun for the whole family and would make the sport accessible again. The Spark is incredibly easy and intuitive to use and would make a great first experience for any kid, especially in Touring mode.
