The Hyper-Sub: Boat/Submarine Hybrid Submersible Powerboat

As a young boy, Reynold Marion was fascinated with submarines. When he was 11 years old, he built a fully-submersible river raft made from 55-gallon drums! It worked - once.

Now, Reynold had made his dream a reality: he built a ~~boat/submarine hybrid~~ submersible powerboat (called the Marion Hyper-Sub). This one’s a prototype named The Fathom: Link | Video [YouTube] - Thanks Jon Jason!

Aren’t all submarines also boats? But not all boats are submarines.

His previous work includes the Turduken and the Spork.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, “Isn’t that kinda complicated? I mean… considering a submarine is already a boat and all?”

Hm… I thought that boats go on the water and submarines are, well, submarines (like they dive and such). Showed how much I know about the subject.

In my defense, I get seasick easily and thus avoided all sort of vessels that go on the water.

Anybody care to wager on how long it’ll be before this thing shows up in a movie?
