Thread: Quadski Personal Watercraft

Better off buying a RZR and 2 PWCS! One PWC is boring...

for an amphib it's still pretty badass, 45mph on the water for something like that. would be great for someone that lives in a remote area. wonder how far you can travel on a full tank.

Yup, No doubt it's cutting edge and would be too cool to blast from the trails right into the water! Being an avid off roader and PWC/ boat guy, I have strong suspicion theres a huge trade off getting "two in one" You're definitely not going to be too aggressive off road, or you may sink when you hit the water!

Good question? Surely it has a gauge and low fuel light!

that would be perfect out where i live, i wonder what msrp is on it

$40K not expensive at all but things of this nature always cost more when they are first produced

from the video it's pretty wide for an ATV but you need that in the water, also looks like it would bottom out over any kind of big jump or steep incline. would be great to use up in Canada or anywhere there are a lot of bears when you need to get out of dodge ASAP! lol

Lol, most guys have such loud pipes on their toys that all of the animals in a 5km range are long gone.

40k, damn... ill buy me a new truck for that. if you got the money to play with then why not, but im not at that point yet.

You could buy a bad ass fishing boat for 40k. And you can buy a 4 wheeler for 5k or wave runner for 10k so you are going to pay for that 2 in 1. But that is a cool concept. I am sure the price will go down if they catch on.

Interesting concept, though it's better to do one thing right than two things half ass.

It's fracken amazing what the prices of new ATVs, Razrs and PWC are nowadays. Not long ago $5K bought a nice new 500cc 4wd atv and nowadays it will get some entry level pos. Used prices are ridiculous because new prices are so high.

No kidding! The new SeaDoo's with suspension ,brakes, all the bells and whistles will run about $40K once you're trailered, and OTD! You might get a free tube, lol!

One of my biggest bitches about the new PWCs is they are the size of small boats. There's no way they are nimble and fun as a late 90's XP Limited.

Then throw in the fact they run huge/heavy/expensive 4 strokes with turbos and super chargers and they are a maintenance disaster waiting to happen.

Yup, I had a 98 Yamaha GP1200 that was a blast and easy to work on. Much smaller than these monsters they have today.

YUP! the old XP's are still the best and run 60+ anyway. The new 15K RXP-X supercharged might run 65mph, RXP-X will cost you a cool grand every 80hrs for supercharger clutch maintenance! lol, that's nuts! 90 model XP's used to cost 15K for a brand new PAIR! maintenance was premixing 2 stroke oil with gas and a new spark plug! I love the old 2 strokes VS the new 4 stroke PWC's, more nimble and more fun, period.

The nice part about the old XP's is you can get an entire engine with 2 year warranty for $900-1200. You can pick up the XP and trailer for well under $2000 depending on condition.

Can't wait to see the first high speed chase involving one of these lol

Very true! You can find them with super low hours alot of the time. save yourself a headache, change the fuel lines if they are carb models, the cheap gas ruins them, you can thank me later!
