This "Aeroboat" is powered by a WWII plane engine!

This “Aeroboat” combines the best of two amazing worlds: marine and aviation.

Propelled by a reconditioned, waterproofed 27-litre Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engine

The engine is actually the same that fitted to Britain’s Spitfire plane during the second world war.

Just 10 Aeroboats with 1,100 horsepower on tap, able to propel the vessel to a top speed of between 75 and 95 knots, or 86-109 miles per hour, have been built.

The vessel was created by Hampshire-based yacht design studio Claydon Reeves.
