Seen a couple on the river here and there. My first impression is not good, very loud and sad looking performance! I could here them before I could see them and that's while I was driving in my boat. But I guess they would have there place like over muskeg and marsh land. If running skinny rivers I still think a jet boat would be just as good

Outlaw makes the "boat" style, I think im leaning towards the swamp style.

I sold mine after about 3 years.
Much prefer to sled, dirt bike, or jetboat as the conditions require it.
Maybe if i lived in the Florida everglades, but not in BC.

Where in BC? To me it looks like another way to get to places no one else can.

It was fun for a while, the novelty soon wore off.
We are in the north shuswap.
But used it in other places as well.
Not very positive steering and limited to very small percentage grades etc.
Don't try a river bank or running at high speed up a twisty river etc.

friend Roger had a hovercraft for a year, similar steering. He wouldn't even go between bridge pillars....
