One Of A Kind -1993 Dobbertin Surface Orbiter
Vehicle Description

This incredibly unique amphibious vehicle was called "Captain Nemo's Corvette" by Brock Yates in April 1994 Car & Driver where it was stated, "This thing makes an Indy car look like a homebuilt." For those of you who can't decide between a car or a boat, this one is for you! Painstakingly built over a 4-1/2 year period (14,000+ man hours) by renowned pro-street car builder, Rick Dobbertin (builder of Hot Rod Magazine's 1982 and 1986 cars of the year). This one has it all! It not only looks great, but is extremely functional, having already travelled through 28 countries on land and sea in an amphibious around the world attempt. Joe Woods of Motor Age states, "I am familiar with metal work on Japanese Superbikes and Military Aircraft- next to Dobbertin's work, they all seem like lashed-up stone-age tools." The hull and frame are completely fabricated from 304 stainless steel. The car features a 6.5 liter GM turbo diesel and a 4-speed automatic, 4-WD with 4 wheel disc brakes, Dual steering, 32 gauges, dual 200 AMP alternators, 120V inverter, GPS, and radar. It has a sink, microwave and even a bow thruster for docking. If you are intersted in a truly one-of-a-kind-never-to-be-duplicated machine, call Rick at (315)695-6645 or visit hydrocar.us on the web for more information.

I seen that thing this summer. Wasn't driving or floating, just parked there. Took a look inside and out. Seemed like a fairly well built machine. All I could notice was a leaking axle seal, Other wise it was pretty big once you got beside it. Seen it outside of Alexandria Bay NY.

Wouldn't the cone shaped "bow" make it VERY wet if you encountered a wake or waves over a foot or two?

Would have loved it when I was a kid though
