Owning a dreamboat is like a pre-requisite to luxury. If you own one, you gotta be rich! Mix that with something unique and outlandish, and you can be sure of being a huge hit with the creme de la creme. Let us introduce you to Concept Speed Boat Vivace26 that has been designed by a whole bunch of creative people like Garret Miller, Heather Witkop, David Robinson, Matt Wysenski & Julian Romero.
The water speedster in question is a two seater but packed with the most amazing of futuristic technology and specs. There is the Audi Rio Lemans Prototype that helps the V12 TDI diesel engine to produce 650 horsepower. A very slick machine, this one has a fully convertible top, joystick steering, OLED display screens as well as several hull stabilizers.

Cigarette will usher in its 40th anniversary celebrations at the Lauderdale International Boat Show in a rather inimitable style. It will showcase the entire Cigarette powerboat range, a visual treat for powerboat fans.
The Cigarette 50’ Marauder will be its showstopper. This star of a powerboat has triple Mercury Racing engines, from the 850SCi to the thundering 1200’s, and can speed so swift you gape in awe. Visitors at the show can also get to see the iconic 38’ Top Gun. Top Gun is a typical old world kind of design in the Cigarette powerboat range, although the brand has embraced modernity and technology with ease. The model is easy to drive and has low maintenance, and is known for its superb handling characteristics.
Other Cigarette models are great too. The display’s new designs will be spectacular cockpits.
The Cigarette range display for this 40 year old brand established by the late Don Aronow at North Miami Beach, is evidently all about bringing to fore its commitment to quality, be it in the construction, power, rigging, upholstery and paint work of powerboats.

Brand Mastercraft is all set to embark on its first voyage in the big boat business. Now these are rather tricky waters, but that does not deter the maker of the MasterCraft 300. It is quite sure of its creation that extends along 30 feet with a 40 inch twin inboard boat. We are told that the company is hoping to reset the expectations of the buyer of how a day tripper should actually be.
The MasterCraft is a recreational vessel that sets new benchmark in luxury and technology. Its cockpit has an electric equipment that is standard for a big boat but if you like you can always opt for the Raymarine E80 that has a monitor with maps, radar and a 3-D terrain view of the ocean floor.

The Minx Model 18V Powerboat is a powerful machine that almost runs as fast as a car on the water. So, if your idea of boating is to have a leisurely and relaxing ride on the water, the Minx Model 18V Powerboat is not for you. It can reach speeds of up to 80mph and is 15 to 20 mph faster than any other stock PWC.
It would start from the price of $20,490 and the price would go on. You would feel like you are in a go-kart or something like that, though it may be necessary for you to fasten seatbelts if you are a little weak at heart. The boat looks quite impressive and comes quite cheap, and costs just as much as a Camry does. It claims the performance of a Corvette though.

It was during last month only that the US Navy and General Dynamics pull the lid off the new U.S.S Independence littoral combat ship (LCS). They say the brute will cruise close to the coast and fling the imaginable lot at an adversary—from shatterproof automobiles and helicopters to missiles, torpedoes and other sundry. Plus, it can jostle at a whispered 60 knots. Essentially, it is an indication that enemy is going to have tough time evading the anger of this powerful boat, irrespective of their location. The noteworthy part is its price tag that touches an affordable range of $208 million, which is quite sparing for the US administration. Considering the level of acceptance, counted 55 models are expected to be built.
