I've got pics somewhere of that thing doing parade laps at Watkins Glen International Raceway back in the 90s, during the Zippo Grand Prix.

We called it the Boaterhome.

Long wheel base will make ramp choices interesting! Nothing with too big of a crown ridge at the top, at least if you don't plan on high-centering yourself.

It'd struggle with a few of the ramps that I use, but it's beautifully done. According to the link it sold for $21k ... that's really not too bad.

It reminds me of THIS thing ... porpoising through the water like that would stink though.
