I came for the hydrofoil. I stayed for the 80s television series music.
The point with this design is to stop the waves you hit from making the craft bounce and it's like adding shock absorbers to a boat, because it makes the ride so much more comfortable. It also reduces the fuel needed as there is less surface area touching the water, which means less wasted energy and better fuel efficiency. A good design for a daily water commute to work, and fun too.
OH MY GOD THAT IS HILARIOUS! The 80's theme song, the "doo-doooo"s, the multiple takes of it racing by timed with the music...IT'S ALL SO CHEESY AND 80's AND LAME THAT I LOVE IT!
I used to drive commercial passenger hydrofoils, this is a great concept.
Please keep building!!!
hydro foil is a great concept. With only a small foil in the water there is less resistance for greater speed and less fuel consumption.
"QUICK! TO THE HYDROFOIL!"
Playing it over and over for the cool sound track!
There are those 'things' you just have to have or try in life, a wingsuit, a miniature helicopter of plane, a gokart, one of those motorized skateboards you lay down on, stuff like that.
This is one of em...
Advantages:
Less friction = more efficient.
Smoother ride from not slamming/bouncing on waves.
Several disadvantages... Look what it takes to launch it and try to imagine what you would do to to get it from the garage to the lake. This would be for true foil lover.
What a beautiful boat and great video.
*HEY!* The '80s called! They want their muzac back!
+ZZ Cat - ... but they can't have it, because it's so awesome?
steve1978ger That & we stole it. Hehehehehheheheheh
Jokin' aside, it reminds me of Miami Vice.
This video never gets old
I know when I was like 11, our family went to Wiesbadden Germany, and we Rode up and down the Rhine River on a Hydrofoil. It was way bigger than this though, and held like 50 people. This was in like 1994 when I went and rode this.
I don't know what's more amazing, this boat or the music.
ahh the good times we had, i remember driving that beauty.
Thanks Ray! This defies description.
This is amazing. No turbulence of wave impact. That spells a smooth uninhibited ride.
Thanks Ray for sharing....
FINALLY! A boat video with music I love!!
those foils are amazing!
I love how this little boat can slice thru another boat wake w/o any dramatic effects. I wonder how much horsepower this boat has?
Nice design. 40 mph is impressive speed on the ocean. The height would give it a smooth ride too. No sea sickness, ftw.
This video embodies the 80's
Awesome soundtrack!
Looks like a blast.
Tx for the advise.
Kool Design:
broken Jetski, Kayak, bits and pieces,
I could pull that off, Salute to you!
Nice...This is for those who appreciate and respect the water..Nice vessel.
You got that right. I wish to go back there. Times of opportunities
That's cool, cheers Greg
Genius. I love it!
Bevis....I believe this is the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Cool. Funky music too.
Cool, eco-friendly and more efficient!
@JulioHooligan I believe it's on the back strut, there's an opening near the bottom you can see when it's out of the water.
Nice boat. The music and editing make me want to pierce my eardrums and gouge out my eyes.
I need one of these, NOW!!!
Just recently picked up a couple free Yamaha VXR 650 waverunners and boy do I have some plans. (they need a LOT of work though)
Nothing like being out on the open water.....trapped in a space capsule.....ahhh the freedom....
Great vintage porn music :D
love the music
NIce 80's video
bad ass bass on the sound track!!!!
awesome music!
wonderful!!!!!
You're a genius.
realy fantastic
Super !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is cool!
A true 90's badass... (complete with theme music)
@dieseldog00 My guess would be the water intake is located at the front of the rear foil.
The 'Foil is awesome!!!
The music.....ahhhhh......I think it was named "Torturous Boredom."
very cool
Im a windsurfer, and one day at just 15 Knots I was catapulted by a simple cap floating invisible, UNDER the water, which grasped on the board fin . Boy, what an impact ! Some windsurf boards avoid algae thrust ( also a catapult danger) by employing a less angled fin . Who knows Mr Horiuchi can understand that and employ the HUE helicopters system to avoid grasping troubles ( and give us a royalty for this consultation ... ) ?,
the music is what make this more appealing...i want one..lol
80s music is awesome!
@smobyles driving on the small thingies under the boat means
Less resistance -> more speed and less fuel
I was thinking that as well.
Quite right. You've got a point. Either way a person would be in deep (pun unintended) trouble. Weather to get sliced by a fast underwater wing or bludgeoned by a fast moving hull. A far, far less important consideration would be the cost to the owner of the 'foil vs the standard speed boat.
BEST MUSIC EVER!
so glad im not the only one.
you must be new to youtube.... 5 years ago this was the ONLY resolution
this thing is carving!!!
That's cool
BEST MUSIC EVER!!!!
@JA7036 Less drag of water on the hull, it rides on a pair of small fins under the water, and it can go a lot faster on less power - and have a smoother ride - than if it just floated.
amazing move
@JA7036 Apparently it's because it takes more energy to displace the same volume of water than it does air, basically because water is more dense or some shit.
NICE TURN ANGLE
you are to genius for this world
mr kotaro that is one bad ass boat awsome
Ray Thank you its Amazing design, Can I have details to build one?
i seem to recall that Feliz Wankel made a boat like this about thirty years ago, cross between a torpedo and a hydofoil...called the Z boat
Man the 90s was dope
@dieseldog00 you can see the tiny jet intake in the bottom of the rear foil at 0:20
Nostalgia! ;D
looks like a 80´s commercial break for waterproofed suppositories :D
Very Buck Rogers, music and all.
Wait till about 4:02 min into it at that point I couldn't help but start nodding my head to the intense sounds comming thru my speakers, WTF who am i kidding i was jamming out the whole time, forget the hydrofoil
i remember seeing this boat on an old tv show called , beyond 2000
@smobyles there is way less drag; water is very heavy to move around the entire boat, if you just have to move it around 2 small foils, it takes less work i.e. you go faster maybe?
Why didn't this energy saving idea ever got popular?
The quality of the video looks like a video tape camera, goes well with the music
@dieseldog00 I'm guessing the rear strut is actually hollow and is the intake duct for the jet. seems the only way it could do this.
Yall keep those hovercraft hybrids commin,q makin a good one,eldridge air curtain ,kinky.
@dieseldog00 There's a cavity inside the rear elm and maybe a water pump just like in a standard motor car pumps the marine water in the proximity of the cylinders so you can have an open circuit cooling system.
@dieseldog00 intake is on front of rear foil
This craft needs a third down rigger on the back this way gives it a caster affect for the person in the back TO WOBBLY THIS WAY cool idea .
You know what needs to be done now? There needs to be a TV crime drama or something with this boat as the hotshot cop's vehicle....Like Blue Thunder or Airwolf, but on water!
The pudding comes after he ditches the coast guard and gets to his cove hideout.
@13AJJONES Less water contact = lower overall drag coefficient. Water resistance is much greater than that of air.
k i kept watching, this is actually pretty fucking sick, and its unblurred. thank christ.
You must have to balance it like a bike. Even if the boat itself doesn't make good sense it looks like fun and I enjoyed the video.
COBRA!!!!! G.I. Joe in zodiacs getting chased by these with machine guns mounted in their noses. Cobra always had the coolest kit.
That's.. awesome. o.o
That thing looks squirrelly as fuck
I concur 80's Tastic!
this song was sang from AJ Rafael hes in my profiles friend list hes pretty cool!! He's friends with my bro so thats how i know him so ya! this songs also called So Quiet. hope that helped!
'''excellent'''
hell yeaahh!!!
The song seems to be the one played right after the hero after killing the Godzilla. But I want one of this boat !
