This is pretty cool. I would like to take one of these out for a while. Maybe on a morning commute to work, just blowing right over cars.

Looks like the right tool for the job when both the floating bridges are jammed.

Jim, what's MSRP on one of those babies? Are they offering 0% financing now?

Ok, now that you brought up my last place of employment....US Navy.... Assault Craft Unit 4 and 5....LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion) Craftmaster...Master Chief Petty Officer...aka: PWRMKR, let me tell you just a little about reality and fantasy.

That space thingy and saw blade somethingsomething isn't real. It's not. Honestly. Sorry.

And, them boats coast $22,000,000, new. I don't think you can buy used ones. So I guess that blows that.

Anyway, Our friends who built our wonderfully crafted machines (roadster) bought some LCAC from the US a few years back for national defense. We have a six boat detachment stationed in Japan as well.

I personally have driven LCAC-038, 79 knots (90 mph) up the Potomac River. It can carry up to 72 tons (done that and some), stop and turn on a dime. I've done 40 knots completely sideways (sideslip) and have heard of some extremists doing 40-knot doughnuts. Blablabla....the stories.

If you need to ditch the boat, just unload this and off you go. But that was another life...

Very cool.

$22,000,000, hmmmm. I wonder what the residual is on a lease?

With 72 tons payload and 90 mph, we could all go in on one to haul our cars and tires to track events.

Jim, the 'Powerstroke' is looking a little wimpy...
