A Sea-Doo or a Sea-Don’t? The V8 Wet Rod is a Personal Water Craft with a Corvette Engine

Is it a Sea-Doo or a Sea-Don’t? Strand Craft USA, a company known for building outrageous motor boats and yachts, has plunged into the personal water craft scene with a really big, splash.

The “V8 Wet Rod” (like a hot rod except wet, get it?) is a 16-foot luxury Jet Ski-ish beast that’s powered by a 5.7L 300 horsepower V8 engine and has a top speed of 65 mph. That’s plenty fast for most kiddie pools.

The wealthy wave runner is constructed out of a carbon fiber shell, features wood and carbon inlays, custom metallic paint, a booming sound system, a GPS navigator and an ice box under the seat. An absolute must have for keeping your beverages chilled on the high seas.

The pricey power craft was created by master yacht builder Kurt Strand of Newport Beach, California, who is known for creating some truly unique and outrageous builds.
