It’s a boat...that rolls on land.

That looks like it could be workable as a boat, and laund even on our rocky beaches here.

This looks like the Sealegs system. They've been doing this on RIBs for some time. The system uses hydraulic motors and a powerpack. You ave to have electrical power for the power pack and AFAIK it only runs for about 5 minutes at a time (due to heating). You can use it to launch and retrieve the boat, but it's not like you can drive the boat down the road.

First and foremost, Merry Christmas to everyone. Now then, any idea how much a boat like the one displayed cost?

There is one of the Sealegs system RIB's in the South Puget Sound near Olympia. I have watched them cruise up to the beach, and then drive up the shore and into a garage next to the house! I think of them each time I launch or retrieve!

One of the SeaLegs RIBs with this system is about $100K last time I looked.

It all looks too complex for me. Too many "systems" equals too much maintenance and $.
