Just one question: Where do I mount the downriggers?

Not even James Bond would scoff at the beautiful Hyper-Sub. After all, how could he not want to step foot onto a $3.5 million submersible powerboat?

We've been teased for quite a while with whispers of this craft designed by Marion HSPD, but now the powerboat-submarine hybrid will finally be heading to the production line. Of course $3.5 million may be a tough price tag to cope with, but you're getting a rather powerful little toy in exchange:

On the powerboat side, it's a heavy-duty, 31-ft. surface-cruiser with an enclosed cabin. Powered by twin 440 hp inboard diesels for a total output of 880 hp, the Hyper-Sub has a maximum surface speed of 40 knots and a maximum surface range of 500 miles. In dive mode the Hyper-Sub can plunge up to 250 feet, and offers umbilical SCUBA support.

It could be worth $35 million to resolve the ‘how halibut get snagged’ debate, but I guess only Norwegian fish farm executives could afford one and likely only in a month when they are being a bit skimpy on their political donations.
 
It dives to 250 ft! You wouldn't need downriggers!

Catch and release -- into my frying pan.
 
Could you imagine if the entire Sooke fleet had those and everyone was submerged trolling for salmon. The right of way issues, trying to wave off another sub because you have a screemer on!!! LOL
 
But watch out SEALS, you can't hide anymore!!!
