Powered by two MTU 16V4000 4610Hp engines the mighty Strand Craft 122 has a top speed of 43Knotts in the water, which can be taken up to 55 with the optional booster package.

How could you NOT have the optional booster package ?
It'ld NEVER resell without it.

Yeah the misses got me one last year.
The boats OK (a bit doughy in the steering) & could use a few more stabilizers to smooth the ride a bit more
Cars good but not a patch on the Veyron sport but nothing is.
Overall an OK gift but she could have done better with a bit more thought

ah, some wives.
the lack of imagination to your gift would have been a bit deflating.

Just as well you are strong enough to accept it.
Hope you smiled and said "Thanks dear", anyway
no point in spoiling her chrissy too

The next step is to build a boat that transforms into a supercar.

coo!
It's on the right track, but they reckon the car in the OP can do 375km/h.
If your amphibious car can't even break 300km/h, what's the point?

That could have been very handy a couple of weeks ago.

But where (other than Europe) can you even DO 300km/h????

You want a vintage dragline? Do you know that draglines are electrically powered, and that they often 'walk' them from mine to mine?
