chinese seadoo speedster and scarabs

[peter x2]

Did you know that there are chinese copy's of the speedster and scarabs?

also available with a outboard engine

I found out that they use a suzuki engine for the in board versions, but who knows they also are a cheap copy.
I wouldn't dare to buy one, because there's nothing good coming from china, and i wouldn't be supprised when those hull and decks
are so thin, that when you hit a wave a little to hard, the whole boat starts to crack.

I don't understand those chinese, because when they would change the design a bit, then they would have they own product
and then fit a western or japanese made engine in it, and only then they could become a real player on the market.

They also make Sea Doo/Yamaha PWC knock offs. Cheaply built but look similar to a Sea Doo, I have done some reading and if I remember right Suzuki didn't give permission to use their engines and/or they were copies of their engine using the Suzuki name.

about 10/15 years ago there was a half size seadoo jetski for children, and some guy in belgium had one for sale, so i asked him to send some
pictures from also the engine, and that was a joke, because it was some strange rustbucket of an engine and some very crappy electrics that
were no were near waterproof, so a dissaster waiting to happen. And no directdrive on the impeller but a chain and sprockets to reduce
the impeller speed, because that engine was not strong enough. I wonder what sort of countries buy their crap, because it's sure not
being sold in western countries, except for some dumass dudes who ordered one or two, but not by the masses. And i wouldn't dare
to import a bunch, because then youre sure get angry customers withing a day you sell one to them, and you can wait for a lawsuit,
because when seadoo or yamaha would know you sell those copy's, then they going to sue your ass. Not even to mention the rules
and laws about the polution those crappy engines produce.
( for the ones who don't know me, i'm new here and i'm from Holland Europe, so that's why my english might be bad here and there)

LOL!! Those look pretty cool I gotta say. I found a link.

those prices are incorrect, because they are more around 15k. If they would be 4/5k, then it might be interesting to built in your own engine and drive from a seadoo jetski,
but then i'm still worried about the thickness of the hull and deck, because i'm sure they make them as cheap as possible.
