nkbjones Posted December 21, 2008 #2 Posted December 21, 2008 Pretty cool, not for the all important ?..........................................How much $?
BEER30 Posted December 21, 2008 Author #3 Posted December 21, 2008 Pretty cool, not for the all important ?..........................................How much $? Some sources say , just a mere $46,000.00 . You know ....chump-change ! BEER30
Sleeperhawk Posted December 21, 2008 #4 Posted December 21, 2008 They forgot the third option, snowmobile but I do like the concept though.
BIG TOM Posted December 21, 2008 #5 Posted December 21, 2008 Some sources say , just a mere $46,000.00 . You know ....chump-change ! BEER30 Gonna start counting those pennies from the jar right now!
davecb Posted December 21, 2008 #7 Posted December 21, 2008 Yup, I sure would like one of her from Santa too.....
Yammer Dan Posted December 21, 2008 #8 Posted December 21, 2008 SANTA?? I don't care where they come from I just want both!!!
Squidley Posted December 21, 2008 #10 Posted December 21, 2008 Interesting concept, would probably be fun to ride, but I can't see how maintaining the thing would be any fun
Uturn Posted December 21, 2008 #11 Posted December 21, 2008 I bet "BOFEM" would be high maintenance! Be nice to find out. But the Doctor told me " At your age, you can't cut the mustard" - {there is a come back to that however not repeatable here } MIKE aka Uturn
ibents Posted December 21, 2008 #13 Posted December 21, 2008 Maybe If I've been a good boy Santa would bring me one of those for Christmas,..... the 4 wheeler/Skidoo would be OK to..... Ian
BEER30 Posted December 21, 2008 Author #14 Posted December 21, 2008 Come to think of it , if these came with a mower attachment ? If so , this would be a "MUST HAVE" for FreeBird !!!!!!:rotf: BEER30

REDRIDER52 Posted December 21, 2008 #16 Posted December 21, 2008 would not whant to hit any big rocks or tree stumps and crack the bottom then try the water bit:stirthepot:
FutureVentures Posted December 22, 2008 #17 Posted December 22, 2008 http://www.gearpatrol.com/blog/2008/02/03/gibbs-technologies-quadski/ "Only" retails for about: $16k " What this means to you: With the ability to convert from land-mode to water-mode in about 5 seconds, you’ll never miss a change to make waves, on whatever terrain you choose. Maybe that’s why we hear they just landed a military contract. Price: $16,000 (estimated)"
yamahamer Posted December 22, 2008 #18 Posted December 22, 2008 I would never have to wash my 4-wheeler again!
N3FOL Posted December 22, 2008 #19 Posted December 22, 2008 Absolutely Awesome! At first I thought this can't be true, when he started to get into the water.... That will fit in perfectly in a James Bond film.
MikeM8560 Posted December 23, 2008 #21 Posted December 23, 2008 would not whant to hit any big rocks or tree stumps and crack the bottom then try the water bit:stirthepot: good point it looks fun though check out this shallow running boat that will run in mud vids on the right http://www.godevil.com/
BEER30 Posted December 23, 2008 Author #22 Posted December 23, 2008 would not whant to hit any big rocks or tree stumps and crack the bottom then try the water bit:stirthepot: Boaters insurance ! My Ins co. covers just about every obstacle you could hit and only cost $275.00 a year on a $44,000.00 bath tub . After a hurricane some years ago , the storm moved the boo-ees (sp?) I hit the getty and broke the skeg off the lower unit and prop . Insurance replaced the lower unit housing , new stainless steel prop (had aluminum) and waived my $100.00 deductible as I save $$ myself getting back to port . They even paid for overnite service getting the parts back to the repair shop , as we needed the boat for a company function the following weekend . Sometimes Insurance co. amaze me , but it's not that often ! BEER30
N3FOL Posted December 23, 2008 #24 Posted December 23, 2008 With so many moving parts on that vehicle, keeping up with the maintenance can be very involved and expensive IMO. It still amazes me. Time will tell, when car manufacturers will be able to apply that technology in cars. I don't mind commuting across the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.
