Revolutionary, to say the least.
However, as we all know, all these things are good for as long as they work; the more parts the more they are prone to break downs, and then someone has to spend time and money to fix them...

I agree with Yannis; looks good but a potential maintenance nightmare... As a crew boat for a company with deep pockets it'd be a comfortable addition the fleet.

Boston Whaler tried this over a decade ago. In real rough weather is acted like a trampoline. It did not last for several reasons.
