Boat the "moves" like a Shark

[Carl]

I had this video forwarded to me, I thought is was rather interesting, if only in the way this boat moved more like a shark or dolphin:

i can`t imagine the horsepower it takes to lift that out of the water. assuming it would be terrible for slow fish trolling.....lol

Wow! That is quite a great piece of engineering work!

I wonder if any dim-witted shark or dolphin would mistake it as the real thing. lol The only question is can someone actually ride in it?

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

I looked it up and they make a two seater and a single seater.
These custom order with a waiting list for prospective buyers; cost is as much as $100,000 for the two seater with options.

Looks like it might be a bit of a rough ride. I'd definitely give one a shot, but don't think I'd want to have one. You can do similar things with a good waverunner at a much lower price tag.

I thought this seemed rather interesting/cool, HOWEVER, I agree especially when the price tag is considered.
I can think of a lot better uses for $100,000 if I have found this much money in my pocket.
This is likely a toy for those who have have everything and alot to spend (IMHO that is)

YouTube has a habit of doing this
(I certainly would not file a copyright claim for a video that is giving me free advertising)

Anway, here is a link to another video showing this water craft:
