Maybe fast on the water, but up on shore it looks like a beached whale.

Kinda like the motorcycle with a V8, no reason for its existence. Good luck with this one!

I agree with Bob, it does look like a beached whale on land. It does not look like a PWC. it does have a look all its own.

Could it possibly have a more socially awkward name...

OK if you have money to waste - I would rather buy the 2-seater version of the Gibbs ATV - that is even cleverer, you finish play, drive back to the campsite or SUV/trailer in a clearing out of the elements.

Sometimes I wonder what planet these people live on. We are only a few years away from oil supply not meeting demand, no matter how hard the oil producers try. Yet we can have machines like this purely intended to frivolously consume as much of it as possible.
We are like very young children who have discovered a bag of sweets (for sweets, read oil) and are consuming them (it) without any thought for the future. We are metaphorically down to the last few sweets (think barrels) and still have no plans of what we are going put in the tanks of tractors and trucks, let alone toys such as this item. Perhaps Bob Flint's "beached whale" comparison might be even more appropriate than it first appears.

Lol. Good one @Mel Tisdale

WOW ,, I love this thing, it's almost as big as my bass boat, and I bet it rides smooth, a jet ski will beat ya up bad in ruff water. heck you can use this as a tug boat, just strap some old tires on it. I want one !! nice build.

As someone who designs, builds high performance boats of all type, this is about as useless for it's size as I've even seen.
Nor at 65mph is it that fast. No reason you need more than 100hp if designed right in much less space, weight.
I built a PWC when I was 15 as fast as this one with just 15 hp.

Great style design, Poor practical design! When wet getting back onto this thing will need grab rails, I cant see any, and look at that instrument cluster, have these people never hit a wave that throws the driver down onto front? The instrument cluster is ready to deliver severe trauma to the head and upper body at the first big wave or beach hit. This is much like the "Skimmer" (http://www.gizmag.com/go/6864/) no grab handles, no security for the humans on board, slick designs like this would be hell when wet. The engine is too big and heavy for such a craft, how are those beached machines going to be got back in the water? wait for high tide? Put a driven rubber track on the base, like that new form of transport (http://www.gizmag.com/go/5638/) that way you could drive them back into the water and out into the yacht when you got there. These designers need to get away from the design pad and use something in the environment they are designing for, to get practical ideas.
