Very Strange Indeed !
Sort of reminds me of our US Navy's experimental stealth X- project ship Sea Shadow from the 90s !

You don't thnk this boat that is for sale was built to smuggle some illegal "contraband" into the country do you ?

I'm going to guess it was either built or designed in Australia; they have been playing with SWATH boats for a while now, and of course are more into multi-hulls in general than we are in the US.

The concept is valid, and they do work very well, but this particular example isn't the most aesthetically pleasing piece of navel architecture.

Not sure if that would be my first choice if I had 700Gs burning a hole in my pocket.

Speaking of innovative designs, if anyone hasn't seen this thing yet...
