They were having a blast...I first saw them about 200 yards out because I was looking thru binos at something on shore , but I got a good hell ya wave and it was returned. They were doing touch and go landing on the water but never coming off a plane.. The berm behind us is a hollow spoil island and those guys dropped in there and buzzed back out past me and gave me a few passes...fun time by all...camera crapped out...(

Yeah it's cool, but not $189,000 cool.
You can get a Lake Buccaneer for about $70,000 or a Renegade for about $190,000. |

Also supposedly had one of the most restrictive purchase agreements out there. Looks like they've fixed that: http://www.flyingmag.com/icon-throws-out-controversial-purchase-agreement
I'm pretty sure I know where that guy is based. ETA: Is that one of those barrier islands near Beer Can? |

They had some really crazy clause in the purchase agreement that they had to be returned to the factory after X hours. So you really never owned, more like leased it, with no option to buy That may have been dropped by the company. |
