The low-slung, sleek-hulled vehicle looks something like a water-going combat bike, with the same fairing and twin-firmpoint arrangement as an assault-rigged Harley Electraglide-1000 armed patrol bike. The basic layout may not be much different from my old Bombardier WaveRunner, but that’s like saying Raven’s Merlin isn’t much different from an Eagle assault fighter because they’ve both got wings. This Watersport—painted a mean black—has a different geometry. In fact, everything about it is more raked and streamlined than my old toy. Even moored to the dock it looks slotting fast.
