Sea Doo Pro Sea Scooter

This is my third one over 10 years. It goes just faster than you can swim as gauged by my kids chasing each other with it. For the price point it is a great mix of dive tool and recreational toy for my kids.Eventually you will have to replace the lithium battery. I then upgrade to the bigger battery for more charge time. After about three years or so depending on abuse, you will get rust in the components and the plastic grates will become more brittle. I have not tired a more expenisve one for fear that it too might become brittle or rusty in 3+ years. For this price point I get my moneys worth in entertainment for 3 years or so.

I bought the Sea Doo Pro Sea Scooter about three months ago for back yard pool use. After reading all the reviews and the manual I was careful to instruct my kids on proper use. The scooter pulls my 200 lbs pretty well and the kids zip around the pool with it. The handles feel flimsy but we haven't broken them yet. This is the 3rd sea scooter we have owned. The first two were both Dolphin models and lasted 2-3 years. I hope this one lasts longer but with the lack of repair and support services I have to look at it as a disposable toy. I will update this review if anything goes wrong.

This is my second sea -doo. My first one was the cheaper model ( $150.00 approximately) and worked great. I thought I would splurge and get this model which is about $100.00 more. A few things about this sea-doo that I don't like.1. Much bigger than the cheaper model making it harder for kids to use.2. Getting the battery out after using takes some time unlike the cheaper model. You have to strap a rubber band on the side and use a suction pump, which is included, to remove the chasing in which the battery is in.This is the same battery as the cheaper model and operates at the same speed as the cheaper model. I thought for $100.00 more I would get a better machine and faster one but I didn't.If your thinking about purchasing one for the kids to use in the pool don't get this one. Save yourself a $100.00 and go with the less expensive model.

Don't buy it. Worked for 20 minutes and then nothing. Trying to return it but not from Amazon so you can't just print a label!!! I sure hope I didn't just waste almost $300! I'll update once I find out about whether Offshore Wake allows me to return it for a full refund.

After recieving the product I was disappointed when I turned it on just to get a loud whine from the propeller. I thought no problem it just needs a little lube and off I would go. After a little lube it reduced the problem by about half the noise level and I figured it would work itself out since the product was new out of the box. Now ready to go and I discover an even bigger problem. the positive lead on the battery terminal has a short due to an internal break under the protective seal at the connection point of the battery and positive lead connector. Therefore resulting in an on/off situation. After the headace I contacted Amazon and they were very responsive at resolving the issue. I kept the unit and purchased a new battery. I also purchased a more reliable unit as I dont trust it (the Sea Doo Seascooter pro) for the dives that I go on. It does make a great pool toy! I have used this same model prior to the purchase and overall I think its a good product, I just couldnt let 1 bad apple spoil the bag!

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT ITEM, WE BOUGHT IT FOR A BIRTHDAY GIFT AND IT PROVED EXCELLENT. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. THE BATTERY LASTED APPROX AN HOUR, I BOUGHT ANOTHER LONG LASTING BATTERY TO EXTEND USE. ITS A LITTLE CUMBERSOME TO CARRY ABOUT BUT IF YOUR DRIVING OR SAILING TO THE SNORKLING SITE THEN ITS OK. WORTH EVERY CENT.

You can cover alot of distance while snorkeling using the sea scooter pro. Wife loves it. Wow the boat was along distance away when we popped our heads up. Had some quality control issues with one unit but amazon customer service was quick to send another unit out. Be sure to equalise alot when going down as the scooter will get you to the bottom quick. Hard to equalise and hold on to while under power with one hand. The kids love them in the pool. Very kool item.

My kids have a great time with this in the pool. Can't wait to take it to a bigger swim area. My son is 6'1 and weighs about 170lbs and has no trouble at all with this item.
