Really, once you're going down the road of a boatplanecar what you really want is a submarineplanecar.

I think submarineplanecar presents far more difficulties. Why do the floats have to be attached to the wings. Why not have them simply retract under the chasis? Sheesh, where's Carackatus Potts when you need him?

Why would you you need floats at all?

Oh, I didn't realize we were talking practical engineering rather than ZOMG I want this!!!

Wouldn't work - as soon as you rolled down the windows (to get some fresh air) when in submarine mode, it would sink.

Well, presumably it would sink even when you hadn't rolled down the windows. Otherwise it wouldn't be a very good submarinecarplane.

Okay, so I was going to say that I really really really really did want a boatplanecar and why can't there be a practical solution for it - and then you started talking about a submarineplanecar. Then this exchange occurred.
