Imagine traveling at 100 mph without bone jarring wave impacts. Using a fraction of the horsepower of today’s so called fast boats. Speed nearly as fast as a helicopter but as cheap to operate as an offshore powerboat. SeaPhantom flies just above the wave crests, on proprietary shock dampened ‘foils’. A lifting-body airfoil design carries the craft above the sea surface in ground effect, radically reducing hydrodynamic drag.

Great idea, but the style is trying to look way too futuristic…
The futuristic look is COOL.
