There has been a definite trend over the last dozen or so years in the PWC industry to “go big or go home” – literally.
Like some of their human counterparts,, it seems PWC models have been struggling each year to stay trim, slim and svelte, and have instead settled into comfortably expanding each year.
Now, in some ways, this is not a negative … these larger models often include features like extended swim platforms, enhanced storage, and more powerful engines, making them appealing for families and those seeking a more luxurious experience. And despite the drawbacks, and the negative impact this trend imposes on the overall health of the PWC industry, there is little denying that the larger, more stable PWCS are a draw for the changing demographic of buyers, and the heavier emphasis both leisure and utility PWCS, such as those geared and outfitted for fishing.
Right smack dab in the middle of that “growing” trend Sea-Doo, without slowing down their push toward “bigger”, released the Sea-Doo Spark. As stated by WCJ head honcho Kevin Shaw in the Spark introductory article in November of 2013, “Sea-Doo’s introduction of the Spark is not a marketing gimmick or short-term ploy. It’s a tectonic shift in how the personal watercraft industry should operate.”
While this article makes no attempt to define and detail the impact of the Spark on the PWC industry, as well as the PWC culture, there is little doubt that the impact was significant. Likewise, in 2017, when Sea-Doo introduced the Spark Trixx, another ripple of something akin to excitement eddied through the PWC world. Shaw once again commented: “New for 2017, the Trixx is possibly the most unique runabout built in the last decade. Designed for flatwater freestyle fun, the Trixx comes with a redesigned vertically-adjustable aluminum steering next and handlebar setup permitting for 6-inches of rise; heavy-duty padded foot wedges, and an electronically-adjusted, re-calibrated VTS trim system with an additional 20-degrees of range.”
As lauded as the new Trixx was, it still was an unlikely decision for many Spark owners to abandon their somewhat-recently purchased Spark to buy a new Trixx.
And, now, thanks to GreenHulk – there’s a way to have your cake and eat it, too.
