Aquaskipper
If you've ever been out on a crowded lake, maybe you've been lucky enough to see the Aquaskipper in action. The Aquaskipper is a human powered hydrofoil, which uses the force of your weight to compress the fiberglass spring and cause the back foil to change its angle and generate the propulsion every time you jump. Made of aircraft aluminium frame and fiberglass, it weighs a mere 26 pounds and can move at speeds of up to 17 mph. Assembly is easy and it comes in a handy bag. Check this out! Every time you jump, the force of your weight compresses the fiberglass spring, making the back foil to change its angle. From the same impact of your jump, the angled back foil is pushed downward to generate the propulsion. Cool and fun on the water! You can buy the Aquaskipper for $495.

The Only Stand Up Fisherman's Kayak
Ever tried to stand up in a kayak? Well you probably didn't stand for too long. This Stand Up Fisherman's Kayak uses a patented extendable outrigger system to stabilize the craft, enabling outdoor enthusiasts to fish from a standing position. Made of durable polyethylene with stainless steel and aluminum hardware, the kayak has two independent outriggers that pivot outward 45 to its centerline, yet both swing back into position to form the aft section of the craft to allow for smooth paddling and tracking. Both outriggers can be removed for easy transport and each has a watertight storage compartment. Other features include casting brace nests, pull-rope, Scupper drain holes, two fishing rod holders, a paddle holder and more. The two-section 12' push pole that fits into the hull is also great because it allows you to infiltrate ideal fishing spots quietly without the noise of an outboard engine. You can buy this unique kayak for a price of $1,900. Hammacher.

MV Agusta F4 Interceptor - World's Fastest and Most Expensive PWC
The MV Agusta F4 Interceptor, a carbon fibre hulled V8-engined PWC, is the currently the world's fastest and most expensive PWC. Recently unveiled by MV Agusta at the Milan Motorcycle Show in Italy, the F4 Interceptor features a new engine which is fused by two motorcycle engines together. Agusta has taken two of its high performance 1078cc four cylinder engines and created a Swiss-watch-like 2156cc V8 powerplant which will power the limited-edition 308 bhp, carbon-fiber–hulled, two-seater. Info about the F4 Interceptor is scarce, but we know that it has a CDI ignition, electronic fuel injection, a 3-blade stainless steel impeller, uses a 160mm high pressure axial flow pump and is claimed to weigh in at an astounding 238 kg dry. An issue still to be resolved before the MV Agusta F4 Interceptor is allowed in the U.S. market has to do with the fact that the F4 Interceptor does not go along with the agreement between the manufacturers and the Coast Guard that no standard PWC will exceed 65 mph. But surely there will be some kind of compromise. You'll be able to find limited numbers of the new F4 Interceptor will be in 2008. No price has yet been announced but it is expected to become the most expensive production PWC yet sold.
