This is certainly one of the more extreme watersport toys available. The $78,000+, custom-made Seabreacher is a force for H2O to reckon with. Sort-of like a jet-ski, this dolphin-shaped vessel comes with 175-horsepower motor to propel you through water (and out if it) at extreme speeds. If death is your style, a 300-horsepower supercharged model is available.
You can even fly up to 15-feet in the air with it due to its amazing engineering. It weighs 1000-pounds, is 14-foot, 10-inches shorter than melong, and has cockpit glass three quarters of an inch thick that’s normally used in Raptor-22 jet planes. I’m sold. Let me just rob that Bank of America around the corner and I’ll be on our way to test drive one.

Wow!!! Video available on the link attached to my name. Seeing it in action make it look a lot more fun. I’m sure you could make the passengers sick. Its like a little H2O jet.
OK – nice piece of engineering, but two questions.
1. Did you have to make it look like a dolphin? Talk about begging to be attacked by a Great White.
2. How long can you stay underwater before you run out of air for combustion?
This isn’t even news anymore, saw these on Discovery years ago and they are still playing the same footage. Neat yes, functional… maybe… a must have? Nope, would purchase a used Cessna 172 for the same price and have a heck of a lot more fun.

This is so freaking cool. I think you should lobby for one of these for next year’s crunchgear giveaways…. :)
