I hope Gibbs Sports Amphibians Inc. stocks enough parts in their warehouse for every time someone cracks a tree on their "quadski"
you know 99% of the people who will ride that thing probably never been on an atv or a jet ski.

I honestly have no idea what they were smoking in the R&D room Who in their right mind is paying $40k for that ugly duck boat? That makes the $12k can-am outlander look affordable!

I have a feeling they will be targeting corporations who will rent them and use'em for exec getaways

Anyone that is seriously planning on buying one, let me make a proposition.

Take the $40k you were gonna spend and divide it into three piles. 20k in one, and two piles of 10k.

I'll take a big ol crap on the 20k pile. Give me one of the 10k stacks and you can keep the other.

I just saved you $10k.

I seen that a few years back it weighs like 1700lbs or something. A normal ATV will kill it on land and a normal PWC will kill it on water. Jack of all trades master of none.
A new ATV and PWC still cost less.

Probably handles like a boat on land and just as bad in water.
