I just wanted to leave a comment, because as a consumer doing research before renting, I came across this negative review as well as a lot of positive ones. I decided to roll the dice and rent with Skiwi anyway - I thought, maybe they just had a bad day or whatever... or the guy ticked them off by recording everything. But to my surprise when I went to pick up the boat, the employee of Skiwi actually took a video himself without me even bringing it up. It gave me piece of mind because it protects everybody. Anyway, they got me hooked up and sent me on my way. On the way down I noticed the bimini top flapping around - so I pulled over and checked it out... a couple of plastic clips had broken and one of the support bars was loose- so I put it in my truck and called to let them know. They said don't worry about it... the boat was still fine, and we had an awesome day on lake mead. The boat was clean and in overall good condition... a few small blemishes, but better than most rental boats or equipment that I've rented in the past.
However on returning, another clip snapped, maybe excess stress do to the missing support bar, and the top was ruined on the drive home, despite driving carefully. Anyway - all I have to say is when I brought it back I was expecting to pay something... I mean, not for the initial clips failing, but for not putting the top down on the way back. In retrospect I should have thought to do that... but anyway. Todd, one of the owners was very kind about it, and said it wasn't really my fault and it happens. He was bummed about a damaged $500 top, but I didn't feel he put any blame on me whatsoever.
I even offered to pay something to help out. He said, "no worries."
Anyway, this was my first time renting with these people. I know noone or no business are perfect, but Todd was very gracious and understanding, and I will definitely rent from them again.
The couple of negative reviews on here have got to be the exception to the rule, or just bogus reviews posted by competitors. I was treated more than right. I felt it was important to post my first time renter review just to set the record straight.

I rented from skiwi and had no problems. They were very friendly and helped me with any questions I had. They rented me a quad with brand new plastic. My son tipped it over and it got scatched and also very dirty, but skiwi did not give me any hassle.

Posting this multiple times does not make it any more credible. http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/342/RipOff0342999.htm If you have a video why not post it on the internet and share the link to prove your story. Otherwise this entire post might seem like your view is clouded because of your issues with anyone who is not a "native" to the Las Vegas area.
