    Pretty cool though. Just goes to show the ingenuity that people can come up with.

    Very cool stuff! There's a guy in Put In Bay, OH that has an amphicar. See it just about every time I've been over to the island. Pic of him in the water below, and a video I took of him exiting the water in link:
    Amphicar - Put In Bay, OH - YouTube

    Then there's this new one, called the Quadski, which is a quad ATV that turns into a jet ski...

    Actually I forgot to add this one too. Saw this at the Annapolis Boat Show back in 2010. It's a RIB that has a hydraulic actuated wheel system.

    Not for that i'm not!

    Mrs B quite likes the 216 Talari cuddy we saw the other week, but TBH it was a bit of a dog!
    Me i'd still love a Z 222 open bow.
    I've waited a long time for my Mariah and i'l only trade up to a bigger better one

    Anyway, there are big plans afoot for the Diablo this winter it's not finished yet...
