That’s next level crazy , outside most of my buddies ( thanks for the vote of confidence lol) . There is some truly elegant woodwork being done , it’s not the original price , it’s care and feeding that will choke you .

I could see that plastic boat being handy if you needed a remote boat you could get into a distant lake and fit it all into a pickup truck box . Cool idea , bet it’s expensive as heck.

Crane is booked , we will thirty six boats in tomorrow between eight am and about one pm . We have started to use a one hundred and twenty ton crane so he can park and pickup boats over a one hundred foot circle without moving the machine . It’s eight hundred an hour plus drive and set up time , but well worth it over the day .

Neat idea, but unless it can do at least 60-80kph on the road (and is road legal to begin with, neither of which seem likely), I'm not sure I see the point really. You can't even really load it on a regular boat trailer anymore at that point, so what, you go from boat trailer to flatbed trailer I guess?

Run it up the lawn to you garage? Beach party? Portage to next lake? Definitely a niche use case. Most people would be better served without all that crap on the boat.

On that note, I was confused looking at one of Abromovich's big boats (Ecstasea, 282 ft). Conventional power is four diesels that add to 12,500 hp powering two props. That gets you 25 knots. If you want to go faster, you fire up the 31,000 hp turbine which powers a jet to increase top speed to 30 knots. Wtf. The number of times you fire up that extra propulsion system for the extra 5 knots is probably very low. The jet makes the rear of the boat look weird. At speed, the jet is in the air.

Take a look at the video of that yacht when it had a booboo in St. Maarten a few years ago. Cap had a bad day that day.

It reminds me of the Amphicar when it came out. For a fraction the money you could buy a VW Beetle and a fishing boat getting you better performance on both land and water. The VW, towing a boat, could lap the Amphicar.

My dad had one long before I existed. An interesting novelty but at best a marginal car and crap boat. Similar to an argo, for a very small percentage of people, a small percentage of the time, the tradeoff is worthwhile but most people are better served with separate land and water vehicles.

This track boat thing is just crypto bros with f you money rolling up on the beach and waving their *&^^s around.
