For the water sports enthusiasts with deep pockets here is a watercraft that will take the breath away of the onlookers. From its outward appearance it just looks like a helicopter, with a helicopter ‘fuselage’ on top of a catamaran base.
The HeliCat 22 is a catamaran designed and built for stable and safe fun in rough waters. It is fast, economical and practical for water travel, transport, and adventure. Its new design makes this eye-catching, lightweight, stable and agile catamaran safe in rough seas, and a lot of fun with great fuel economy and near zero maintenance. Side vinyl doors keep water away and even if in rough waters the waves wash over there is no place to store water like conventional boats.
The HeliCat offers a choice of a dual 60 hp and 90 hp engines. The 90 hp is capable of a top speed of 69 km/h (43 mph) giving you up to 3.5 miles per gallon which is quite economical compared to other rough water crafts of this size.
The ‘fuselage’ actually serves as a wakeboard/waterski tower. The HeliCat 22 was introduced last year and is available now starting at $74,900 for one packaged with Mercury engines and trailer. Buy It: $74,900
