    its made by arctic cat. its Suzuki powered (thank god) no offense to cat owners. going to look at it tomorrow or Tuesday.. yes its goofy looking, but you can lean these things waaaay over, cant wait to try this thing out on the water! and no the wheels are for rolling it around the shop / yard lol they do not stay on in operation...

    I'm amazed that you just called that Wet Bike the "Three wheeler of boating" or whatever Deathrocket. I've always been a huge fan of those (although I've never ridden one) and I've always referred to them as the "Three wheeler of boating". I'm truly amazed that somebody thought the same thing as me.

    Personally, I hate boats. I mean, they're fun and all, but the time and money they soak up is utterly ridiculous. With that being said, I WOULD own a Wet Bike. They have always struck a chord with me. I hate boats, and I loathe Suzuki, but I would love to have a Wet Bike someday.

    I had a customer come in last year (I'm waiting for him to come back this year so we can chat again) and he was a Wet Bike guru. He knew all about them and is on a Wet Bike forum like our trike forum. We BS-ed for about an hour and the similarities between Wet Bikes and trikes really is funny. People tend to look at Wet Bike owners and Wet Bikes in a similar fashion to the way we get looked at for owning trikes! The guy and I clicked instantly. He's a triker at heart, but he trikes on the water.

    cool. if i can strike a deal with this guy, next time im near ya, I'll bring it down.. it looks like they can be just as dangerous as trikes too, so it looks like i will have to aproach it just like a trike when learning on it, or when leaning on it depending lol....

    Wet bikes are the 2 wheeler of the boating world. There is actually a 3 wheeled pedal trike that goes on the water and they have big orange plastic wheels on them! I don't have a picture of one saved, but trust me, they have them.
