Gibbs Technologies has appeared on these pages previously, as builder of the amphibious car the Aquada back in May 2004. The Aquada performed well but never caught on largely due to the large price tag of $225,000…subsequently reduced however.

The company is back, this time with the Quadski, which is a kind of scaled-down version of the Aquada. The Quadski operates as an ATV on land, and then converts to a Personal water craft on the water. The Gibbs website has a video of the craft in operation. $46,000 gets you moving at 50mph on both water and land. Nice, but the lack of a suspension likely limits the Quadski to light duty while on land.
