Mercedes Benz has followed in the footsteps of luxury auto competitors BMW, Bugatti and Aston Martin by taking their design chops seaward.

Ok, if luxury carmakers are getting into the boating market, then I want a marine version of this:

Funny when watching the movie, at least I did not notice that the Ferrari prop is all of about 4 feet wide... but when seeing a still photograph, it looks pretty funny. I havent seen that movie in a long time... it was funny!

Mercedes did make a boat back in the mid to late 1980's , or at least powered it, Emerson Fidapallti sp had something to do with it and or it was named after him. Had a red hull and it was featured in a magazine called Boating. They were all gaga because it hit 70-80mph. Which was a big top speed for a production boat back then.

wow, 70 or 80 would still be fast today. Not many boat go over 50 besides the offshore and speed boats.
