I wonder how they Planned to cool the motor over the road? Or how the boat controls would hook to the car systems like steering and brakes. Designers like Stevens fan the flames of desire, then dumps reality on the engineers... and yes, the bean counters.

Too many moving parts. 'Tis not boatswains mate proof.

What do you do with the car part at the boat ramp once the boat's been launched? Presumably taking with it the "over the road" (and up the ramp and into the parking lot) power plant (but leaving the winch...)?

Boat ramp? This ain't no city slicker toy, this is to go where no man has built a ramp before, where men are men and ramps are vacant. You have to see the Big Picture, otherwise you can't fit all the advertising copy in.

All that opulence just a tiny hole away from being the fanciest submarine in the ocean. :eek:
Holy shit, 56,000 square feet of sail. |

Speaking of submarines, this is close...

How much money did we sink into killing Castro? Now he's playing 2nd base for the Yankees.

They say it's small and "quiet." I wonder what it used for propulsion. With a range of 110 miles, I'd assume a gasoline or diesel engine. And I don't think of either of those as being "quiet."

According to this PDF, it was gasoline powered and was very dangerous because the fumes would settle in the bottom of the boat.

Gondolas are for tourists and wimps.
But the flimsy little wires on the rudders don't look too safe. :eyebrow: |
