The Wet: This 3,384-pound unsinkable amphib will top out at a leisurely 4 to 5 mph with its quiet, twin electric propeller drives. We’re not talking about heart-pounding thrills here, more like a walk in the park with friends. The Dry: Since the wheels do retract, just head for the beach and the three-cylinder diesel 4-by-4 power plant will engage and take you for an off-road spin topping out at 24 mph. Price: For $60,000 (hydragator.com) you can have one of your very own. Current production is out to 120 days. The company offers a one-year warranty. CAMI Hydra Gator

Roads and launch ramps are for sissies. Real men hit the mud and drive straight into the water. How? On the Quadski from Gibbs Sports Amphibians. On land, the Quadski resembles a traditional ATV, only longer and wider. But when I drove it down a steep dirt ramp and into the water on test day, I pushed a button and the wheels retracted in three seconds. Quadski Review & Video .

The AquaQuad is a seaworthy RIB-PWC hybrid. Trail it behind a Mini Cooper and get yourself a well-equipped fishing boat with a fishing seat and forward casting area, tackle and bait station, deck-mounted rod holders and more. A trailer costs less than $600, making this an ideal entry-level product. AquaQuad CLX Review .

Nautique’s Super Air Nautique 230 E eschews fossil fuel in favor of dual, brushless, permanent-magnet electric motors, marinized by LTSmarine. Tucked below a clear panel and ringed with neon-blue LEDs (flux capacitor, anyone?), these motors look out of this world but produce down-to-earth specs. Peak power is 80 kW per motor for a total of 160 kW. Nautique Super Air Nautique 230 E Review .

The concept is at once simple and ingenious: You press a button, raise or lower the four 25-by-12-inch wheels via marinized hydraulic cylinders and drive the 777, complements of power steering and all-wheel drive, in and out of the water at a boat ramp, a beach, or even the backyard of your waterfront home. Look for our test of the Sea Legs 777 in March. .

A catamaran that looks like a helicopter boat? Yep! It’s a lightweight craft that can be outfitted with outboards up with 90 hp, and can travel in excess of 40 mph. At 20-30 mph fuel burn of 5 mpg is possible. The wide platform offers a stable ride, even in choppy water. We’ll be keeping an eye out for it at this year’s Miami Boat Show. .
