Wouldn't mind getting around on one of these haha..

They look pretty shmick not sure how they would handle though. I've been looking at maybe getting a centre consoul style inflatable with fibreglass hull. Somehting like this would be nice, pretty cheap too!

new one will set you back approx $55k and it is small and the jet units need a rebuild every 200hrs or so.
having said that over 100hp in a boat like this is pretty fun.
for diving not practical though.
try the pro range of boats by zodiac better priced and built like a tank. just finished building myself one will post pics later.

Ok here it is.
This is a zodiac pro 550 or 12 man.
Its 5.2m long 2.2m wide and has a 95lt fuel tank under floor.
This one has limited edition military grade NEO collars (hypalon)
this one has a 90hp optimax and although it is yet to see the water should do almost 40knots at WOT and has a range of approx 300km @ cruise. it has smart craft instruments, humminbird side imaging sounder and twin batteries with a VSR so you always have one full battery.
this is a much better dive boat. this one is probably about $40K or just over with the options but even its smaller models are nice dive boats.

Here's a couple of pics of a 10 meter Naiad RIB that I ran out of Hamilton island for a while, twin Suzuki 300hp fourstrokes, as soon as I would have it out of sight of the harbour I drove it like I stole it off a Columbian drug lord, went like shit off a shovel, awesome boat... maybe I should ask for my job back... those were the days!!
