Don't pull the wheels up, use a bottom like they use for air boats in the Everglades, add waterfoiles to make it ride high and ignore the waves as a hydrofoil and you can have high speed and stability. Continue to use the water jet propulsion. Use a 4 cyl turbocharged engine they are as powerful and lighter. Love the concept...

Try using the Jeep Wrangler 4 Door Rubicon. Its longer, and that will give you more room to work with. You could also go for the 4 wheel drive. Lets face it, where I live 2 wheel drive is not going to get you out of the Rivers. From the Space Cost of Florida.

Let's face it, there's a ton of cars on the road that aren't really exceptional at anything but people still buy them. The fact that this car is above average on the road and exceptional on the water is more than enough to sell a bunch of them. Mass produce 100 and see if they sell! If I had money to burn I'd buy one!

starting with the ram-vette and the jeep, commercialize it and see what needs improvement after tons of people using it, that'd be a great start. that's basically how electric cars started anyways. and maybe the big dogs of the motor industry can help em out once they do. you never know in a world like this. :)
