Can anyone find a weirder boat?

Sorry guys - I started a new thread wit ha weird design before I know what was going on here.

This is the design - you just have to admire the mind behind

 

I've posted many odd boats in the Random Picture thread, but most of these are new to me.

Nice work guys.

 

An amphibious pedal vehicle from Finland

 

my contribution - bass boat for the budget conscious amongst us

Not quite the same, missing the middle hull but the colours the same (-;

 

Winans "Cigar" ships. Some prototypes were actually built.

Long distance "Wave powered" yacht.

I think this might have real applications in both reducing 'felt wave action' and giving hydrofoils something to do during their 'off-peak' hours.

First thing I would investigate is if flippers on the stern or midships could be added as well.

How about Anti-Roll flipper power?

Id like to see the underside of that guitar-boat. Seems to swim pretty well.
Looks pretty cool.

not wierd but a one off .......beats all the PWC regs in australia

 

That amphibian is sweet.

I'm probably breaking my own rules here, but this does my head in. Carp fishing is a very big deal in the UK, and predictably, Carp fishing gear is big business.
So, to reach prime spots under trees banks, or way out in the middle of lakes, they use specially designed radio controlled boats to drop ground bait, and even use them to place the line and hook, instead of casting. They have lights, for night use, and miniature echo fish finders. No, really.
