Thanks for sharing! Love it!!!

It's pretty sharp-- I don't know how much time was put into the development of the Batboat since it was for the movie, but this wouldn't have filmed well on the water-- it would have virtually disappeared which is why you have bright vibrant colors on the real thing.
Personally, I'm a traditionalist and prefer the one used, but this is neat.

It may not have filmed well, but I really like this! NICE!!
Re: Bringing the Bat Boat in line with the Batmobile: The Aqua Bat
The accents on the trailer are a nice touch, too, evoking the cycle sidecar.
Thumbs up from the "other" Aqua-Bats!

This is a really cool concept you've brought to life here!
Have you taken it out on the water for a spin? I'd love to see some footage of it!

Re: Bringing the Bat Boat in line with the Batmobile: The Aqua Bat
VERY entertaining pictures thank you
Re: Bringing the Bat Boat in line with the Batmobile: The Aqua Bat
It may hot have filmed well, but this makes a lot more sense than the original colors. Why would you paint the Batmobile black with red pinstriping and not do the same for the Batboat?

Re: Bringing the Bat Boat in line with the Batmobile: The Aqua Bat
That would have been a great Batboat for the series/movie, although a wraparound windshield would have really added the perfect touch. Being closer in design/paint application to the Batmobile is one of the reasons I always appreciated Corgi's diecast Batboat, as the black--instead of blue--was the right bit of consistency with the main vehicle.
