Scare Surfers With the Leaping Shark Boat

• Simon Crisp via Asylum.com
Should we happen to find $90,000 under the cushions of the Asylum sofa today, we know exactly how we're spending it: on a boat that resembles a great white shark and can jump 12 feet into the air.

The Seabreacher X is an amazing boat/submarine/shark-thingy dubbed the ultimate millionaire's toy. It's not hard to see why.

Measuring 12 feet long, the craft is the same shape and size as a toothy Jaws -- complete with a dorsal fin -- and contains two seats, LCD screens, a GPS and even an iPod dock.

Powered by an engine similar to those in a high-powered jet ski, it can reach speeds of 50 mph on water, or 25 mph after diving below the surface -- which is where the fun starts. Makers say upon completing a high-speed dive, the Seabreacher can jump out of the water while mimicking the "tail articulation of real aquatic animals, like sharks and dolphins."

And with a viewing screen resembling the mouth of a great white, it would surely be hard to restrain yourself from scaring the living daylights out of surfers.
