Any of them are getting so expensive. With the dollar so screwed it adds up fast .
POS sport jets are mid 70’s now with no options and crap trailer . Lol

$100k doesn't buy much when it comes to jet boats anymore, especially if you want a 4 stroke, I think the Coyote's are around $90k everything else seems to start at over $100k.

But I think it has as much to do with supply and demand as the dollar, up until this year it didn't seem like they could build them fast enough, I've never noticed more than a boat or 2 left on any dealers lot over the winter, and I believe Windsor is ordering around 30 Firefish boats a year.

Financing and people willing to finance a expensive toy has more to do with it then anything .
I like it as keeps the older stuff that we thought was crazy expensive up in value . Lol

It's definitely unbelievable what people will finance, I like having new stuff too, but I like knowing it's paid for more.

Does anyone know how far you can run up the Red Willow river from the Wapiti? Today we ran from Magoo's up the Wapiti to the Red Willow and up to just past where the Beaverlodge runs in. Is the Beaverlodge river navigable, the Red Willow definitely got skinnier upstream of it.

Won’t let me post videos. Got one that’s nothing special but at the end my steering locks up do to my exact nozzle.

Nice, might have to make it up that way some day. There was a small bench in the river so we turned around, we could've went over it but was as far as we wanted to go today.
