    100 hp, 20+ liters of fuel per hour, just to make few jumps in and out of water... For me it's - no thanks. :rolleyes:

    If you had a shotgun handy, it could be more fun than shooting skeet.:D

    Naw, guns are to noisy....It would be more relaxing to let my " pet" great white sharks play with the frolicking jumpers

    So it's actually 100 liters of fuel per hour. Very intelligent invention...

    That looks like an absolute blast!
    I'd want a good helmet for learning.
    I don't see doing it too many hours on end, so the fuel cost wouldn't bother me. I think after an hour you'd be tired out from so much plunging in and out.

    It would certainly keep the sinuses clear and the bank account I'm sure.

    $100 000?
