renovatio - 118 wallypower

Since seeing the movie, The Island (great flick by the way), I've always wondered about that boat featured in it, named Renovatio, Latin for rebirth. Was it just a movie prop or it is real? So while researching the latest and greatest boats, I came across the 118 wallypower aka the Renovatio.

This is Gotham City meets IKEA, stealth speedboat meets New York City loft. It is powered by three 5,600HP waterjets and if thats not enough, it also has two 370HP Cummins diesel engines used for secondary power. Top speed is 60 knots (70 mph). Inside the 118 wallypower is adorned with plasma TV's, sofas, king size bed in the main stateroom, guess suites, luxury bathrooms, a kitchen/galley that Emeril would happily approve of and even a carbon fiber dining table... yes a carbon fiber dining table.

Price? A measely $27 million.

If I had that kind of money, I'd get the boat for looks alone! Beautiful.
