(for all of you who are already nagging about 2-feet-waves, just dive.)

Cool, but I've seen guys on stand-up skis get more air and actually go deeper.

Saw a post about these last year.
OK. somebody successfully designed and built a big mechanical fish.
What a whacky endeavor. Looks like it would be fun for about 5 minutes max.
thoughts?

I bet you could really confuse the tourists with the "orca" paint scheme.

that's what I was thinking, plus how the hell do you see where your going 1/2 the time?? better be A/C in that sweatbox:lolhit:

A jetski with a lid and fins.....nice.

$65k staring price??? screw that!! i dont see the fun of it, so you can "barely" dive under water and then jump up. wooohoo! :rolleyes:

Don't want to knock someones gig here but this one leaves me scratching my head... and at a starting sticker of $65k?!?!

This explaines why I haven't seen them popping up all over.

BigSilverCat 08-19-2011 03:32 PM

they are not getting that high but that landing is probably almost knocking them out..

pullmytrigger 08-19-2011 06:46 PM

I can honestly say Ive never wanted to be a fish....

ducktail 08-20-2011 03:50 AM

The $65k are the obstacle for a wider spread, I would rather have a boat with a cabin for weekend voyages plus all the other opportunities a boat delivers like having guests or even "parties" onboard / beachparties on tour...
As they are new a buyer can not estimate the number of jumps the "fish" can do. But the videos are funny, they have perhaps rather customers in the arabic gulf states according to one of the videos.

Doesnt even really have a wow factor. Seems kind of pointless. I agree , after 5 minutes it would be boring .

Now these would have more "wow " factor. Still rather have a boat but ,

Am I seeing the price right. 99,900 euros is 140,000 US. :eek:

That seems a little extreme....I'll ask my neighbor to find out what his buddy paid. He was just down in long beach last week using it.
