Interesting looking molded saddle in the boat, I wonder if they are going to sell it separately for conversions.

According to the robson website they have now 2 dealers in the US, one, Hi-Tech Products on the eastcoast in Fredericksburg, Virginia, the other one on the West coast, Larry Christensen in Citrus Heights, California.

According to rabson the boat costs euro 599 (US$ 860).
The saddle is euro 100 (US$ 145).
Those are the european prices, before shipping.

Shipping charges on a single boat will definitely add a sizeable chunk to that price. If there are multiple people interested, you can save a bundle if you can arrange to place a larger group order shipped to the same location. There have been some group slalom boat orders placed within the past year or two that have been handled this way, with a typical resulting savings of $200-$300 per boat on orders of 10-12 boats.

A couple of years ago when Endless River Adventures brought in ten Finks they ended up costing about $1150 each if memory serves me well.
