Wanna Iguana.

There are lots of ways to make a statement with a boat when it’s in the water.

The more challenging task, however, is to make a statement when it’s out of the water too. Enter the Iguana X100 White Edition, a vessel that can do both with equal ease. A sheathable track system can pop out of the hull and take this boat up onto the beach, negating the need for a dock — or any other structure for that matter.
Extra moving parts on boats sometimes give mariners pause, but with this vessel, they can take heart. That’s because the Iguana is built like a tank — literally.
“The track system is a feature Iguana developed over the past few years, and it operates like a tank,” explains John Conrad of Michigan’s Elk Rapids Marina, the exclusive dealer for the Great Lakes. “They’re retractable, so the tracks don’t interfere with the hull at all. They’ve sold a bunch of these boats to the Navy and the Navy does not require any modifications to the track system at all. So you could say it’s literally a military-grade track system.”
If that’s not impressive enough, Iguana also says that the boats can be driven safely and easily up onto any beach, even with 4-foot waves pounding the sand.
“Picture a house on Lake Michigan,” Conrad says. “Million dollar views but you can’t have a dock because of all the large waves or storms. The Iguana is your solution. You can finally have a boat and a view.”
This inventive little boat comes with a variety of outboard power packages, and can go up to a sizzling 50 mph. Constructed with the strongest materials, including Orca Hypalon 866 grade tubes, the X100’s durability is unmatched.
With the X100 White Edition, there’s certainly a lot to like, wherever you may roam.
