Ferrari Boat
Can't decide between a Ferrari and a yacht? There is no reason to have to choose between the two when you can simply combine them. Artist Livio De Marchi sculpted a boat that is a replica of a full-sized Ferrari F50 out of wood. De Marchi lives in Venice, Italy, and uses his one-of-a-kind wheels to cruise around town. Sadly, there aren't too many other places in the world where a car of this sort would be all that useful. If there were, we would be on a waiting list for one.

Gee, what a waste, not a good boat, or a good car.. one hell of a sculpture.

Yes the photo is old news. However, there really is a Ferrari boat. It is a hydroplane from the 50's and it is on display in the Ferrari museum in Maranello.

This isn't something new. A company called Terrawind has been selling "cars" like these for several years. The car is called a Hydra Spyder.

Well, this isn't really the same as either of those two above examples. The Hydra and the hydroplane are both commercially designed and manufactured. This thing is a one of a kind carved out wood by a single man. I own a lot of De Marchi's stuff, and his craftsmanship is mind-boggling.
