Two water sports fanatics have built new speed boats, dubbed 'Seabreachers', which can be customized to resemble a shark, a dolphin or a killer whale.

The boats, developed by Rob Innes and Dan Piazza, that can shoot up to 10 foot in the air and stay two foot below the water surface for 20 seconds at a time are powered by a 260 horse power supercharged engine, the Daily Star reported.

The speed boats, which are made from the shells of old US fighter jets, can even dart vertically out of the water and tear through the waves at up to 50 miles per hour.

 

Each customized boat can cost around 40,000 pounds.
