SEALVER RIB 626 ordered

[Takostubos]

Anyone else have any experience with a Sealver? My plan is to use it to supplement my hydroflight activities....

"ordered"?

You saying your ordered one? If so, from where? I didn't know they were being sold in the US yet (less Puerto Rico).

If you haven't ordered one, where do you plan on purchasing it?

[Takostubos]

Yes, ordered, I wired a boat-load of euros over to France, and I am having it shipped via cargo container through a customs broker to Michigan.

There is substantial cost involved in the shipping, and customs fees, and also the currency exchange rate from dollars to euros raises the cost by at least 25%.

I ordered white/black bicolored Hypalon tubes, a wakeboard tower and a few other things

All said and done, I could have purchased two brand new RXT-X 300 SeaDoo's for the price.
I have both a 2017 RXT-X300 and a 2015 RXT-X260 that will be able to push the Sealver

From what I can find on the interwebs, they sell those in Canada...

Sounds like the deal is done, but you may have been able to take a drive to Quebec and picked one up instead of going through the process/hassle of euros, wiring money, shipping, etc.

And, supposedly, they're going to be available in the US this year.

As for anyone in the US with experience...TAG; you're it.

Looking forward to your review/s on this.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that review, or the Canadian dealer, I appreciate the links

One of the questions that goes through my mind is, whether I need a different boat registration, or is this thing just a big floating inner tube, My plan is to put the same hull stickers on the outside of this thing that are on my Sea-Doo, given that it is just an accessory, however, my boat is a rigid inflatable, and I doubt that even stickers would hold...



Also, I am not sure what the front sun deck area is really like, is there room for a gas can, a battery, etc, on the RIB
I have to figure a way to connect my hose to the front for using the Jetblade...

That's an interesting question...

In my state, any vessel with a motor requires a registration. Not sure how Florida would consider this vessel. By connecting a PWC, does that make the vessel motorized?

These types of vessels aren't new. There used to be a similar product sold in the US years ago called Shuttlecraft.

A few threads out there on it...

One person states, "in PA, it has to be registered as a separate vehicle, and the tag shops don't know what do do with it since it's power source is a second vehicle. "
