Spidermaran?
|
Isn't Howard Hughes dead?
|
You didn't see it....
|
Preparations for Waterworld. It's gonna happen, ya know.
|
That's cool! It must be very stable, considering its length and width, not to mention the shock absorbers. It's the daddy longlegs of boats!
|
It's a Jim Antrim design, built in Anacortes, WA.
|
Damn. We hadn't even gotten to the alien invasion speculations yet, and already someone puts out the conspiracy theory fire.
|
It's Dr. Arliss Loveless trying the water this time.;)
|
OK, I'm speed posting because I heard I may get lucky tonight so I didn';t read any of your other possts. I just wanna know what was so experimental about that boat sighting. It looked like a pretty run of the mill sighting to me. Stand on a dock, look at boat.
I'll check it out when I have more time. |

Aww, fsaklfjgl. My computron ate up one different shot of the boat. (Might be why two of the images are exactly the same...:neutral: )
|
Johnny Quest had one of those yeeeeeeeeeeeears ago.
|
You know, when I look at the last shot, here, it makes me think that someone looked at a canoe and said, "I can make that a lot faster. First, you suspend it from this big, flexible bridge thingie..."
|
Is this perhaps piloted by the world's tiniest horsey?
|
News on the spider boat.
"It is named the Proteus, after a Greek god of the sea, and is the first of what might be a long line of wave adaptive modular vessels -- WAM-V for short -- developed by Ugo Conti, an engineer and inventor." |
