You are, as ever, quite correct - a bay full of these yo-yos would be awful - but still, like dirt bikes and jetskis, when you're on them ....

Can these things cruise underwater ? I do admit that the idea of a miniature submarine has a certain appeal.

"you are as ever quite correct".......now there's a line I don't hear all that often....

They wanted our dealership (motorcycles, jet boats, PWC, ATV) to carry them. This is one of those things that's so limited it'd be fun for about 5 minutes. Think ya might tire of the constant porposing (pun intended) and having to be "in" it rather than "on" it for a nice sunny day? Heck, here in Florida it'd have to be airconditioned!

It's a product looking for a niche that's not there.

We turned 'em down in a heartbeat.
