With an unlimited budget I think I would like to do a Star Trek themed boat. Start with something different like a 50' Statement! cat & outfit the cockpit with multiple programmable monitors for info & cameras. Voice activated controls with manual override. LED lighting for air intake & exhaust to simulate warp engines, And maybe an off white pearl paint job with airbrushed deck plates. The concept would be to let the entire boat take your imagination away instead of any specific feature. Just my 'WARPED" mind,LOL Randy

Blown, big cube, staggered APACHE. And I would name it after a famous Indian.

As much as I love big V bottom boats I think id do a nice skater with a a girl painted as an angel on one side and the same girl but with devil horns on the other side, name it heaven and hell, saints and sinners, 2 faced, take your pick. Lol. Haven't thought out the interior yet. Maybe turbine powered? Just cause they're cool...

I would have to do a Cadillac themed boat. I would commission Progression or Tuff to build me a 40 something hull. As for power, I would start with the base 4.6 Northstar engine and modify the he!! out of it. After seeing some of the prot-type builds on this engine they did at the GM proving grounds this engine had a ton of hp potential and would like to see what it could do in a marine application.

Paint it in WWII service colors complete with nose art. Arneson or other direct surface drives. Hatch exit rear eject exhaust. Be a heavy beast but with 9000hp it should still be fast. Fun to think about but those mills built to spec would run at least a million a PIECE.

Now that's cool.

I'd seriously have to consider Racer X. No extra crap on it... just graphics exactly like the car.

Mine would be boat themed.

Are you thinking of a marine version of this car?
