I want to see what the lip is like (i/o). What is the nominal pricing? More or less than a Jetski? Curious to know....

Wow thats pretty cool. To bad there is no real tower on it, more like a pylon i guess, but still better then a typical jet ski. How much are we looking at for these bad boys?

-=AlexXx=-, wsjason, The 39 Trixsta starts at around $10.5 k AU from memory, with a 30hp Suzuki on it.

PIRATE, but this is a new boat and motor with a warranty. not everyone is DIY. also in australia they have a harder time getting boats over there because of how much they have to pay.

It's not just your standard tinnie either. The sides and floor are 3mm alloy instead of your standard 1.8mm, making it heavy duty and ride a lot softer and lower in the water cause of the extra weight

i think its great wakeskating has its own specific skate boat.
but like pirate said you can get a used 20footer for around 10 grand. but i dont live in australia so i dont know how boat sales are there. its just not a great idea if it were in america. I still think its sick Cool

PIRATE, As wakemitch alluded to, you can't really compare it, $US for $AU. You don't just convert the currency and that's the price.
What would you pay for a brand new Nautique or MasterCraft in the US.? Now compare that price against what we pay here in Australia.
I wish it was that easy mate, and cheap.

edit:spell check...

That's interesting. Good point dudes I didn't realize theat Australia was sooo damn expensive. If that's the case then good for you for sticking it to the man. LOL

I can't wait to check these tinnies out this weekend!

Here's a few approx price examples of boats in Aus:
New Sea Doo From $15K-$26K depending on the model
New Malibu Response $50K plus options
New Loaded Nautique 210 $120K
New Entry level 135hp i/o(Glastron ect) $30K

This also means our used market is more expensive as well Sad
