Scubacraft convertible speedboat/submarine: at home over OR under the waves
Friday, December 11th, 2009
Screaming around on the surface of a lake or the ocean is great fun, but anyone who’s had a crack at scuba diving will understand that it’s a whole new world below the surface. Which is why the Scubacraft is such a sensational invention, even if you’re not James Bond. It’s a fully functional speedboat that’ll scream along the surface at up to 50mph, but at the touch of a button it submerges and becomes an open-top electric submarine. Awesome.
You’ve got to feel a little sorry for the guys at Scubacraft. I mean, they’ve built a frickin’ speedboat that converts into a submarine – a task that would have taken some years of research, prototyping and standards compliance – and now that they’ve finally got a product ready to sell, the bottom has dropped out of the high-end leisure market.
But in terms of an aquatic recreation product, what a product it is! The Scubacraft SC6 is a 250 horsepower, 50mph, 6-seater surface speedboat with the ability to dive below the waves at the touch of a button and become an open-top submarine capable of reaching depths of almost 100 feet (30 meters).
