Spark vs Honda R 12X

[wizard19]

I'm looking for a second runabout for the family to go along with the FX cruiser HO. It wouldn't be used for pulling, just cruising the river, playing around and a way to get family of 4 out on the water.

Anyone have any thoughts on a Spark vs a Honda R 12X? 2 seaters are just that much cheaper and I can get the Honda for around $3500 and used Sparks for $4500. Thoughts?

Wouldnt go near the honda. Esp the turbo.
Parts are getting hard to find and pricey.

I love our Honda skis. I think the only part that may be hard to find is the exhaust manifold. And it IS kind of pricey, as is the ECU.

The turbos are pretty inclined to go as well. Not a bad ski for their first attempt, but since they got out of watercraft, parts will get pricier and rarer
