Is this an outtake from the movie "RV"?  No, I KNOW!  It's the new "Civilian Camouflage Landing Craft"!  But if you hit a gator in Florida, is that covered by auto insurance, or boat?

Either way, keep that thing out of Haiti or Cuba or the Coast Guard won't know what to do!

Hi GH,

This guy had a feature spot on Good Morning America about 3 years ago. He spent over a million $ making this thing work.

This was a bus, not sure I remember but I think an 102A3. He has slides, sponsons that inflate, corion, marble, & leather int.  The Works!

Neat Huh..

Hello Nick and Everybody,
Not that I would have saved this in my favorites or anything like that! LOL! But I went back and found the answer to Nick's statement/question and posted it for those who wish to know! And by the way last time I checked the Terrawind 2 had not been a reality yet! (probably still try'n to "float the financing" for development! LOL!)

Q: What kind of chassis is it on? It is not on an existing chassis. A: The Terra Wind is built from the ground up. We start by building an all aluminum 3/16 marine plate hull. Once the integrity of the hull is assured we build a motor coach on top of the boat hull. This is truly a boat on wheels.

Great pictures.  Thank you.  Yeah, it said that, as shown, about $1.2 million.  Wow!  A $100K here, a $100K there, pretty soon it adds up to big $money$  Wonder how in the world they did it?  Glad now I always get sea sick.
