Looks cool for sure.

I'd be the first one to throw up after one of those barrel rolls though. It looks about as fun as being flushed down the toilet.

I thought I'd seen this dolphin craft before and I'm glad I checked their "media publicity"-page. I think I saw this in an episode of Ride with Funkmaster Flex a year or two ago. Looked pretty awesome doing flips'n'tricks in the water images/smilies/blink.gif

Not quite the same, I know...but this remains the benchmark for cool boats, for me at least.

both boats are cool.
But they're cool in whole different ways.
Klutch's boat is stealth-bomber cool, while Blind_Io's is fighter-jet cool. Nice watercraft all around. I'd take the dolphin over the stealth yacht anyday though ... because the yacht looks way too expensive, while the dolphin is an adrenaline-pumping rocket and shouldn't cost all that much. Forget a ferrari, take a girl in the back of one of those 2-seaters and show her how to do some barrel rolls images/smilies/thumbsup.gif
EDIT: too bad they don't sell them images/smilies/sad.gif

To be honest I would take the Yacht. I've seen it before on TV and it's one of the fastest boats afloat and certainly the fastest for it's size. The inside is amazingly spacious, larger than my current apartment. There are benches and tables that rise up out of the deck but retract to leave a flush surface when underway or when entertaining. As I recall it's powered by diesels for low-speed and two jet turbines for high-speed. It was also featured in "The Island."

Actually, if I wanted a super yacht, I would want to convert an old DE (Destroyer Escort) class naval ship. She would not be the fastest but she would be one of a kind.

And a 5" deck gun or two would discourage any boarding attempts since piracy is still common in some parts of the world.

HAhaha...so was I! I even read the title 3 times to figure out what Borat had to do with a dolphin...

Yeah, the yacht is, well, a yacht; doesn't really compare to the dolphin thing, but I still maintain the Wally is the coolest thing that floats. The dolphin would be a blast...but I like saying yacht.

Yacht, yacht, yacht.

Damn that shit is old as hell. That was featured in an episode of Sea Quest DSV, a very long time ago. I'm glad they updated thier site tho, the old one was pretty shitty.

I've wanted on since that SQ ep.
