Iguana Yachts has designed an amphibian speedboat perfect for those with too much time and money on their hands. The Iguana can seat ten and hit up to 40 knots on the water. It can also deploy a pair of all-terrain tank treads that allow it to travel on land at up to 5mph.
Most amphibious boats are designed to be cars first, and boats second -- not so with Iguana Yachts. Their amphibious boats put water over land, which is something that should help appeal to hardcore seamen sick of seeing cars with outboard engines strapped to their backs masquerading as boats. Iguana Yachts is selling the transforming Iguana for $287,000.
