The 1963 Corvette inspired speed boat concept is a creation
of Swedish designer Bo Zolland.
The concept uses many of the design features of the 1963 Corvette
including the split rear window, tapering rear roofline, rounded
windscreen and side windows, and louvered deck/hood.
Entry to the 1963 Corvette speed boat concept is via Gullwing
doors. Inside is seating for five people. Proposed power for
the concept comes from a variety of engines with the maximum
horsepower output at 550 hp. The estimated top speed is 70 knots.
Zolland's design mix of Corvette and boat is extremely effective
and well thought out. Boat builders Strand-Craft SWEDEN who
have made some of Bo Zolland's previous concepts a reality are
the people charged with constructing the Corvette inspired boat,
if there is serious interest. Shouldn't be a problem there.

Review By RM from NJ
In regards to the 1963 Corvette inspired speed boat concept,
which is a creation of Swedish designer Bo Zolland; the question
is not why but
'When'. There are very few times when such
timeless beauty, translates
from one mode of travel to another so successfully. This is
one of those times.
'WOW !!!' is all one can say.
