That looks like an accident just waiting for a victim. I gotta see others using it. Hit a wave, flip over and there is the prop. Of course it will probably quit running when the engine ingests water. Looks like a possible aggravating day on the water to me. No thanks, I'll pass.

Agreed SS!<br /><br />I could just see myself pushing forward on the grips after hitting a wave, jamming back the prop under my "Gluteus Maximus" and spending a few days in the local hospital listening to giggling nurses and interns whispering "He did what?..."<br /><br />I'll pass as well!

Quote from the website:<br /> "We tried synthetics on our outboards and our outboards seized and burned to a crisp.<br />Now you know, and you won't need to find out the hard way. <br />We used the famous Amsoil , Opti -II and Wal-mart, Boaters World and West Marine's synthetic blends, all proved disastrous."<br /> :confused: :confused: LD aka BF ain't gonna like that one :eek:

Notice that they tested TC-W3 oils in an air cooled engine. Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also didnt say which Amsoil it was. Should have been the Interceptor. And you can bet that because of the size of the craft that they ran the living H*ll out of it. I also wonder if they even have a clue as to what the RPM was while testing. That is if they even really did test at all.

Wow, can you fill it up with helium, put a bigger prop to push air and call it a personal blimp too? Hope they have a good defense lawyer on a retainer.

I must say it was worth reading the threads for a good laugh. What the heck, I'm going to sell the junior version of these for $250 a pop :p . Bottle rockets taped to a life jacket! At least you'll float at the end of the ride :D .

Those "Gull" and "Sail" outboards are popping up all over the place... I guess they are a Korean brand or something...up to 60HP.<br />I would like to run across someone who has tried them. If the quality is anything like a Korean car, I'm in. (not on a pooltoy jetski though... )

Re: Check out this junk!

Sorry Guys, I'm all sold out. However I'm taking advance orders for my next trick. Ima going to convert old porta poddies into skiffs. Think about it...cut them in half lengthwise, the tank at the bottom (back) will be a good transom and walla. $595.00 w/o motor.
