The million dollar flying yacht!
More like a Million dollar 30 foot hydrofoil boat, but its still cool. Drive by joystick from the bow is definitely badazz!
Somebody on OSO needs to retrofit the power to Merc 450R's and we would definitely have somethin!

Very interesting, hydrofoils are cool. In the '60's the Canadian Navy built a 150' hydrofoil ship that would do over 60mph. Hydraulic motors are not very efficient and create tons of heat. I would think a large gen set and a pair of electric pods would work better, but I'm not an engineer.
Or as stated before a pair of 450's on jack plates
