Most boats are confined to dull old water. Most boats are pretty lame. This boat is just not . The Sealegs boat has a retractable all wheel drive steering system-yes, with wheels-and should blast its way onto dry land.
The 23-foot inflatable beast tops out at 48 mph at sea, and 6 mph on the ground with its hydraulically-driven, all-terrain wheels-which sounds slow, however’s a freaking boat. And the craft is rugged enough-with a powerful aluminum skeleton-to surmount some seriously tough land. So whatever it makes up for in slothfulness, it gains in you with the ability to cruise out of the lake sans truck hitch, or just roll up out of the ocean and terrorize your beach of choice.
Bonus cool: the Sealegs is used by the Thai Royal Navy. Is your boat used by the Thai Royal Navy? We didn’t think so. And just inspect that promotional photo-is that not the good dad ever? He dressed his children in matching black commando junior uniforms for their boating trip. [ Sealegs via PopSci ]
