The SeaRam seaplane project is based on a new type of simple kite-boat design that should become available for commerce soon. Made from lightweight corrosion resistant composite materials and powered by an electric/capacitor thruster motor, the SeaRam should be capable of "hopping" great distances over water. Large versions should be able to carry passengers and/or cargo from small seaports around the world much like the great seaplanes did some sixty years ago.
This SeaRam 8 design image was created on a 1.5ghz 7955 HP Pavilion using the 3D Anim8or program.
