White Water is a unique game with great shots and gameplay. It'd probably be considered a Premium by today's standards. Find a clean one with nice ramps and a nice play field, and it could be in the $5k range.

Quoted from PACMAN:

$5k game for sure if its in nice shape and fully working. Music is cheesy. Callouts are great. Few games have as much flow and pure ramp bliss as White Water. The rules are easy to understand, hard to achieve but very fun and rewarding. The theme is awesome. The art is awesome. Animated BigFoot is super awesome. 5X the playfield jackpots will blow you're socks off. Punishing shots and an unforgiving extra ball target puts it over the top and makes you come back for more.
Did i mention it has an interactive BIGFOOT on the playfield??
This WAS a $2k game when i started collecting awhile back and stayed that way for a long time. I'm glad to see its finally where it deserves to be as an A list game.
I went through 4 machines (upgrading each time) to find the one i have now. NOS playfield, new boulders, plastics, ramps. NOS topper. New silk screened side art, etc. Its in my top 10 of all time and i'm gonna hold on to it as long as i can.

I agree with all this, EXCEPT you have the music and callouts backwards. The music is amazing, especially for this era of game. Really implemented well how it changes with the raft levels. Callouts can be cheesy. I cringe a little bit every time I get into 'Boulder Bash' with all the "Oh, Ah, Ew" callouts. Wet Willy is a funny guy, though!
