I love it! I want one. Like all amphibians, it's a compromise. I can tell you from the video that it's a terrible Jet Ski. I also suspect it's not a very good Quad. However in certain environments it would be ideal. In warm climates where getting a little wet doesn't matter, it would make very good practical transportation.

Thanks for sharing!

Of course the $41,125 price tag for the single seater is tough to swallow. Perhaps the wife doesn't get one after all...   ;)

I suspect that if the wife doesn't get one, NO ONE gets one.  if you know what I mean....

Kind of like a 182.

This is true... I told here the price and she said- "You can get one, sell your plane!" That's not what I was thinking, so more research is needed on cash acquisition...

If they would put wings on that thing, I would sell the Bonanza, the boat, the motorcycle, both waverunners and maybe even the wife's BMW (I am keeping my truck) and buy two of them.

That looks like a lot of fun. Not practical for me, but it looks fun. The price tag is a bit high as well.

I've always wanted an old Amphicar.  They have real ones at Disney World that you can ride in.
