Well, if you thought Bermuda Triangle was inaccessible through a boat, you might be wrong. The ‘Front-Runner’, capable of reaching places where its predecessors could not, might have the potential to make the impossible possible. The Front-Runner is more an aircraft than a boat and is 11 feet long. It incorporates twin 215 horsepower forward-mounted jet-drive motors and its airplane-like steering enables steep heading, pitching and banking to give an off-road like feel to the boatmen. The water-craft can be maneuvered even in shallow waters making it possible to reach even inaccessible locations. The primary difference that this boat boasts of is the positioning of the motor. A front motor produces a ‘pulling’ sensation vis-a-vis the ‘pushing’ sensation created by conventional boats. This radically alters rider experience. Still a concept, the boat is fabricated entirely with recyclable materials. The boat’s hydrofoil on four-bar linkage helps in controlling boat elevation and the ride. Its twin supercharged 215 horsepower motors are quite powerful for a small boat such as this. The Front-Runner sports a retractable California style top and ergonomically designed chairs for the crew for top-notch cruising comfort. The cargo area is quite roomy with a deck space of around 30 sq.ft. Its tambour rear door enables hassle-free loading and unloading. It also encompasses LCD, GPS, digital gauges and feedback control to offer the best of state-of-the-art technology. All these will provide you the ultimate boating experience. Via: gizmag
