Floating Motors creates “resto-floats” (or restored floats) by copying the design of a classic car in fiberglass or carbon fiber and retrofitting it with a floating hull and motor.

Three types of hulls will be available – catamaran, conventional, or foil. The VW bus Floating Motor, for instance, will feature carbon fiber pontoons. Five models will be available with Mercruiser outboard motors providing between 40 and 240 horsepower depending on the model. Zero-emission motors will also be available with single or twin Torqeedo electric engines providing from 20 to 270 horsepower. A variety of suspension set-ups will also be available.   

The company is raising funds now to build molds and prototypes, and the new models will be introduced within the next two years.
