The Video:Creating Exciting boats that fly above the water is challenging. See several examples of HYSWAS and just how elusive success can be. Fascinating high flying boats that combine submerged flotation with hydrofoil lift.

That would be a GREAT drug runnin boat!! Hide all the drugs in the Torpedo and when the USCG pulls you over its all hidding under the boat!! =) And it's sittin like a regular boat...

Very impressive. The only disadvantage I can see it that it draws what looks like at least 14 feet, which is a problem in many areas.

@Scorpac But at that point you shoot them, and drag their corpses to international waters..

[MrAwesomeCarl]

Boats should be on water.

In H.K & China there are a lot of big hydrofoil boats that carry 450 passengers or tourist

@SWMoneyMaker why conditional?

Advantage #6: Improved visibility!

The problem w/Hyrdofoil is the boat launch average 2-5 feet. So how would one launch and/or load its hydro boat? Not very practical. How would you dock your boat in most lakes?

@pznerd did you not listen to the words... better speed, less drag... more fuel efficiency.. pretty obvious if you think about it....

[Scorpac]

@SWMoneyMaker and you think the USCG has no eyes yes? they will see the boat before you see them. so they will know whats going on with it...

[pznerd]

What is the point of this vessel.

[UnoRaza]

@SWMoneyMaker LOL! That's probably what they're using it for...
