Instead of putting old airliners out to pasture to rot in some cockroach corner, Hydro Lance wants to substitute pontoons for wings, and blast those Boeing 727s across the high seas. The company says it'll cost about $1 million to buy one of the decommissioned jets, and then once things get rolling, an additional $3 million to convert it to one of these jet-propelled ferries that can go 161mph.
