Looks pretty good. You'd want to keep those hydraulics well lubed. Classic play on words too with the Nauti-craft-4-play model.

That is really cool. But what is even cooler about it, is the fact that it was designed and built by a West Aussie in Bunbury. That's cool

Fair enough clever but wtf me next. If you need one of these you have way too much money no concern for the environment and are a softcock who should stay on land as not to get affected of oh so bad sea legs. FARK HORSE****

Thanks for the wink there bro you see my car is a total necessity in todays society with no mod cons and is only used for travelling from a to b where I absolutely have to be otherwise I ride my (push)bike which does not have suspension. Do you own a (push)bike. . Ok so coming from a sailing family I despise the waste of heavy fuel consumption , comfort based creature of liesure power boats that weekend warriors all over QLD use to zip out to anchorages for the weekend from dunk island cairns down to bums bay gold coast. As someone who has worked fishing boats also I know how the ocean feels in a variety of craft size, construction material etc. I stand by my opinion that if you need one of these monstrositys you have to much money no concern for the enviroment (maintance, animals not being able to avoid it) soft around the gills with fright of maybe some sea sickness, and are basically not there to appreciate the ocean and your surroundings but are there to be seen as king dick big salary, fastest to the anchorage got the newest gadgets etc If this doesnt make sense to you go sailing do battle with the elements whilst being one with them all at the same time feel what the ocean is actually doing while you are travsersing it you may get sea sick/legs but that is what being a mariner requires of you otherwise STAY ON LAND. The only place I could see these being fashionable is safety rescue/military/police.

I'd be interested to know what piece of technology you used to make this post?

A mate has been working on this project. The development is actually for the offshore wind turbine industry so they can safely land maintenance personnel in a swell.

That boat looks too wide for a trailer and getting a pen in WA is apparently impossible, so I guess that rules out most rednecks and only leaves a massive commercial market for this type of vessel... I'm also guessing if they find the balance between technology, reliability and cost then along with commercial operators government by way of VMR's, water police etc might take a closer look and give Kirby/Naiad a run for their money.

And it looks like a bucketload of fun!

Pretty much targeted for the commercial market i'd say. For more information www.nauti-craft.com/

It's got very expensive maintenance written all over it.

Pretty impressive though.

Would be a good thing for crew transfers in the offshore oil and gas work too.

Any whose worked around hydraulics for more than 5 mins knows this thing means weeping oil at the least with so many rams. I used the interweb to make these posts why? Its still greener than some of the sb users are to traditional maritime practices. Anyone whose done long journeys while humpbacks are migrating will probably recognise collision is eventually unvoidable at those speeds in rough seas.

With all the things in this world that threaten the prosperity of the ocean, you're worried about humpback collisions with some fancy boats? R u fng serious?

good idea for the coasties that have to go out and rescue people in ruff seas. they would be able to get out there quicker and safely.

Although it would be a great response vessel I'm not sure if it would be a great vessel for towing? I reckon the nose would be constantly heading skyward. It would probably be a great boat for carrying personnel/minor supplies to/from offshore platforms imo.

I like the comment that it 'leans in on corners' - most if not all boats do that anyway.

The leaning on corners is very different. The cabin leans in however the hulls remain almost at zero degree's.
