Wow, it even has a stealthy look to it, for those times when you would invade a small country I guess. I'm not really liking the outside's lines, but the inside is definitely a luxury I wouldn't mind having. Are those stripper poles installed there?

The yacht features all the spacious comforts of a mega yacht together with the nautical characteristics of coast-guard boat, including a CODOG (combined diesel or gas) propulsion systemcommon on small warships, but rare on yachts. Three gas turbines generating 16,800 HP drive water jets - two steerable outboard and a non-steering on centreline. For manoeuvring and long deliveries, the steerable water jets are powered by two diesel engines of 370 HP each. The exhaust system is made of titanium that saves weight while being very resistant to the high temperatures generated by the gas turbines.
At speed, the 118 WallyPower is comfortable and stable as a result of the V hull shape combined with the construction technology and the perfect isolation of the machinery, noise and vibration. The hull form is a deep V of 22 degrees at the stern, with a straight stem bow designed to perform as a wave piercing. The unique, chameleon-like paint finish is metallic dark green and changes reflections and colour depending on the light and landscape. At anchor, the sections of the bulwarks alongside the superstructure drop-down hydraulically to increase the light and the view from the salon and when open they serve as diving platforms.

It's near the bottom of the first website I posted.
Obviously if you don't get the 17000 hp gas turbines you're a poseur.
The beauty and luxury of the 118 WallyPower doesn't come cheap - it's current market price is US $16.55 million when equipped with only twin diesels, compared to US $24.83 million as tested, with triple gas turbines.
