Any one else notice the motor/pump trailer spewing white smoke? I assume it's a souped-up reorganized pwc, with a 2-stroke engine? Clever hack, though.

- StavrosK 16y agoYep, it looks like it's on some kind of buoy and you just sort of lug it around. It looks very fun. Although, I don't know why an engine, a hose and a nozzle cost 136k. I guess R&D, so I expect the price to drop to $500 eventually?
- tomhenderson 16y agoI'm sure the price will drop if they catch on but, assuming it's basically a hacked jet-ski with a hose & harness attached to it, they still won't be cheap. A jet ski can set you back anywhere from $10k - $50k around here, so it's still a luxury item for most.
- StavrosK 16y agoAh. The engine is from a jet ski, you mean? You might not be able to buy one for cheap, but you will be able to rent one for $20, so it's still good.
