Wow!

That's gotta be one HEAVY PWC!

I like the concept, but all I see is a bunch of drunks trying to jump off bridges while being chased by the cops! :lol:

OK, so it wasn't a bridge, but a cliff. And they weren't cops, but Border Patrol. The drunk part may be true though. :roll:

cool little concept vehicle!! Too bad in the real world it just won't work.

last clip of video, no life jacket or helmets???? :shock: :shock: :wink:


There are many things wrong with it, no ground clearance (gonna bang hull on a rock), too wide, too long, and little tires, in ATV mode.
PWC mode, I just don't see it performing comparable to a real yamaha PWC.
Cost, I bet you can buy a top of the line ATV and PWC from yamaha for less than what this compromise will cost.

Looks like a pretty cool toy. Unfortunately if these things take off, I have to suspect that they will be driven to all kinds of lakes and ponds that jet skiis should not be on.

It's not a Yamaha, it's made by Gibbs, the same company that makes these:
