Seadoo: do the kids want a 13 foot tri-hull pontoon boat?

[CB]

What the Sam hell is this?

And this is how you control it?

The 13 foot model starts at $27k CAD, so if you want this 100 horsepower oddity, it's almost affordable?

EDIT: for $2k more you can get a 170 hp model with the same 13 foot length. Do that, be a hero.

@cb I’m a hard pass on this BS

[rctothefuture]

That is the weirdest and yet most awesome thing ever!

I can imagine this is great for fisherman who want a more stable platform to fish off of instead of straddling a ski-doo on the water.

@cb What. The. Shit. is this thing? This has to be the goofiest new watercraft on the market.

[UpCreekwithShitPaddle]

@cb It looks like they made a boat out of Tom Dempsey's foot.

[drVanTraveler]

@cb Brought to the CUV buyer, because they obviously lack judgement. Why not make stupid watercraft too..

[Bandit]

@cb So it's a party barge for a party of one? Why go pontoon if you're going to have something so short?

[pickup_man]

@cb The hell is even the purpose here. I can't think of anything this does that wouldn't be better served by a different style of boat.

[Highlander]

@cb They like them because of the upright seating positing and better outward visibility.

Buy one of these instead:

[MisterButtercup]

@cb I bet it turns goes straight on a dime!

It's for people who like to party reasonably.

[ibRAD]

@cb Apparently even the small one holds 5 people. And for just a few dollars a week more, you can upgrade to the 230hp 21' and bring 8 friends with you.

I like how the video shows a family enjoying a bbq with a nice spread on the table. They didn't show the part where the other asshole on a sea bee ripped by too close and they had to scramble to keep everything from falling off the table.

It might just fit in a single car garage on it's trailer.... That gets rid of a monthly storage fee.

I think they've just made the starter boat for people who aren't sure they want a boat.

[Snuze]

@highlander I've been trying to talk Mrs. Snuze into one of these. She's firmly in the "No Boat" camp though.

[facw]

@cb I really only want sailboats, but then I'm not one of the kids these days.

[pickup_man]

@cobrajoe I've seen plenty of 16'-18' boats, with outboards, fit in a standard garage, this would obviously fit even better but I doubt that was the intent.

It's like a miniature party barge for jet ski bros who want to hang with their other jet ski bros but don't have the money for a totally rad Supra/Nautique or whatever the hot shit ski boats currently are, but still want a bit of that street cred that a real deal cool-dad pontoon won't give them.

Edit: The longer ones make some sense, it's basically a jet powered pontoon with some neat features, the 13' one though, IDK.

[aremmes]

@cb That's a Can-Am UTV for the water. They'll likely be seen near each other at the launch ramp.

[Tripper]

@cb That thing looks like the boat version of an old people scooter. PASS

[Chariotoflove]

@cb I like this. I'd prefer a regular three seat Seadoo, but I can see the value of this as a personal water craft for me and my girls.

[Miss Mercedes]

I'm actually going to test these out on Tuesday. BRP intentionally went for something completely outlandish, so the response here is exactly what I expected. lol

[aremmes]

@miss-mercedes Oooh, cool! But, you know, you'll have to show how easily it can be towed by a Smart. You know, for science.

[TheTurbochargedSquirrel]

I feel like these are the jet ski version of a Harley trike.

Please let me know if they have a 170 hp 13 footer, and if so, how silly it is.

Weird, right?
