Yep, it's boat. This is a video of the boat. And I want one so bad I'd pimp to raise the money . . .

That's a video? I call it four still images with a soundtrack.

Nah. They all have four or five things in common: the same four or five artist renderings (stills) of the ship. Not one shows anything different about the design or its operation.

My kids and I got pretty excited about SeaQuest when it first aired in 1993, but the one thing that always bothered me about the submarine was that we never got to see it on the surface, and all the underwater shots were dark and blurry.

And it suffered from the same fatal flaw as all submarines — they're slow!

Seems to me a really advanced submarine would have hydrofoil capabilities like the vessel above, and when speed was needed, that sucker could just rise up and take off like Ester Williams on water skies at Cypress Gardens! Very Happy

Remember how cool SeaQuest seemed to be for the promos and the opening credits? That show pooped out pretty quickly in my opinion, but if the sub could do what the amazing boat above will do, the series would have been more exciting.

Yah, I agree. Such a sloooowww ship that is designed around the fastest creature in the seas — a squid!
