Hmmm, Doesn't that cause rather a lot of drag when in the water?  Cheers,

My new toy - mogless but not legless What a fantastic idea. I do envy people with the talent to invent such simple and useful ideas and put them into reality.  I am sure the 'Chitty' fans around the world will be chasing the winged version. Thinking 'Jumbo' The new Cunarder Queen Elizabeth could be given a set of wheels and eliminate all of those coach tours in port. Mmmmm, Mobile Home at sea, Mmmmm, I wonder what the Hampster and Co could do with this one??

Hmmm, Doesn't that cause rather a lot of drag when in the water? Cheers, From the photo of the boat approaching the beach, you can see the front wheel folded up out of the water. Once the wheels are up, it performs exactly like any boat. This one will cruise at a top speed of 65 kmph on water. The wheels are powered hydraulically via a separate inboard Honda engine for a maximum on land speed of 10 kmph.
Cheers,
Steve

Just need to stick indicators on it and some seat belts and we'd have a road legal vehicle that could commute up the Thames!

That's very innovative Steve. Is it patented?
