Iguana Yachts, which builds outboard-powered, carbon fiber boats with tracks that allow it to travel on land or water, launched the 30-foot X-Fisher, which it calls the world’s first amphibious boat designed for fishing. Iguana said the boat has a top end of more than 55 mph with twin 300-hp engines and moves about 4.5 mph on land. Fishing features include integrated rod holders, an insulated fishbox/live well and a bait-prep station. More details can be found here.
