It's.... different... that is for sure. :grin: For something so outlandish & off the wall, you would have thought there would have been more pictures. Pics of it in the water, pics of the engine/driveline at least?

That's what I was thinking. I'd like to see some better pics of it! Got me curios as to how and what they did to make it a boat. Reading the description sounds a little sketchy at best! :smile20:

Sounds like it is begging to have a winger bottom put on it.  I would bid on it though.  Road trip to Pennsylvania anyone?  Just what I need another project.

It's got a 3.0L minivan engine in it to start with.  Anyone see that coil wire?  OMG.

A Barracuda Jet Boat hell yeah.  Sure wish it was a fastback though.  Hmm I wonder if my buddy still has that old Fastback body I left behind his place.

I'm thinking the guy was too scared to put the v-8 in it. It may not float! :smile20:

I was looking at all the plumbing pipe used.  It sure could use a setback.  Not sure how secure that FWD motor is in there either.  And did you see the steering?  Looks like a set of bike bars with motorcycle throttle control.  Even I am not that versed Hillbilly Engineering.

This guy is a genius hillbilly engineer.

ah hell, there were more pictures of it, I'll be damned... Now to go pour bleach on my eyes, lol... The dude is creative I'll give him that. You'd think with what had to be done to get it to float & move under its own power, coulda came up with a better set of controls...
