At the current conversion rate, it's only $128,986.70. Chump change

Irrigation Guy · 04-18-2009, 07:44 AM

That's less expensive than some of the boats we have around here.

SAMIAM · 04-18-2009, 09:09 AM

Think of the practical uses.......you could pump out your own septic....while having fun.

tis · 04-18-2009, 03:44 PM

I almost hate to bring it up but I wonder how fast they go. I don't know if I would like to try it or not????

EricP · 04-18-2009, 09:05 PM

That looks like a lot of fun!

codeman671 · 04-19-2009, 07:44 AM

It seems rather ridiculous to me. You are still tethered to a "vessel" below if I am understanding it correctly. When the technology gets to the point that you are not tied to anything below and can fly free (like in the old James Bond movie) then I am buying!

It'll go fast enough to break the speed limit on Winnipesaukee.

I can't stop laughing.....envisioning hovering over your septic opening with this thing.

Lakesrider · 04-20-2009, 08:34 AM

Hmmmm. the Fire Dept. could help to put out boat fires.

Or,with a long enough hose they could have used it in Alton the other day....

rander7823 · 04-20-2009, 12:27 PM

very cool.

I wonder how much noise it makes? The pilot???? doesn't seem to need any ear protection.

Mee-n-Mac · 04-20-2009, 10:17 PM

Well that's pretty cool but since you are tethered to the water vehicle I might want one of these and a parasail instead of the skis, board or foil. That way when the power quits or the gas runs out I can make a soft landing.

In either case one has to wonder whether the MP will consider you a form of towed "tuber" and thus require an observer.

Ice Fisherman walk on water all the time,but that thing looks like a lot of fun,but better keep it under wraps or the state will try and regulate those to,ha,ha.,I guess the old contractors joke about sending the new "Greenhorn Helpers"out to the truck to look for the "Skyhook" will now have to be rethought!They may come back with that device.....Great Idea though!Anyways thanks for the laugh,thats always good these days.Have a great day.
