Sea Doo Seascooters

I have one... sometimes I would like to go faster.... The seascooter company is great to work with. I had an issue with the old one I had and they replaced a lot of it .... much more than I expected. I use it to examine my water line... scoot out... dive down leaving scooter for a second... come up and scoot to the next part of the line... Also fun snorkeling ... just lay on top of it. and motor around with goggles and a snorkel.

I have had one for years and it is a ball. It is not fast but with a minimum of leg action you can really cover some distance and it also reduces fatigue while diving.

I had to replace the battery. They don't give them away. As I recall it was about $200.

Deb likes it when I strap her water lounger to myself and tow her around the rafting area. She can dispense with paddling and concentrate on her Corona.

Each year or so they come out with a new model. http://www.seascooterexpress.com/ I have the orange one. The batteries are $50.00. If you have money to spare... you can get more than twice the speed for the high end ones, one of which has a lithium battery.

For just playing around the lower cost models are just fine... keeping an extra battery around helps.

I happened to see them in Sam's Club a few years ago and purchased 2. They were under a hundred each and were used for about 3 seasons. Even the older adults wanting their time to snorkel. Something has happened to them both they run fine out of the water but die the minute they hit the water. Would love to find them again at that price and I would replace them.

The newer ones are pretty cheap. Click the link on my previous post... also call them. Mine did the same think and a replacement motherboard would have fixed it. I had one of the originals and they no longer make that motherboard. I think I bought mine at BJs. The company sold me the middle piece for cheaper than a new one... we were back in action in a few days.ffice
