Actually this thread hijack was perfect. Pontoon boat and outhouse... Picture courtesy of my sons photoshop skills...or lack thereof.. By the way, that Hobie is as minty as a urinal cake.
Actually........... He owned a flying school . I also recall seeing some modifications like snowmobile blades on one. What a fun project!
I am going a little cheaper this year on the Porto potty. They are charging triple on the same one as last year, so I went with the off brand. Don't worry, I'll still strap it down.
... ... you guy's could take that comedy improve show on the road... almost lost m'coffee... again... ... off-the-rails threads are usually the best ones... Now you guys got me thinkin' about building a catamaran outhouse... ... Few pics from yesterday mornin...
Hi there... The Hobie Cat 16 was first built in the early 1980s (maybe 70s)... it's a catamaran sailboat. You can find lots of vids on YouTube showing it's design strength and how well it rips under sail. I guess around 130,000 of them have been sold. I'm going to turn ours into a motorized 2 person & a Gizmo mini pontoon boat, that'll be easier to haul around to different lakes than a gynormous party boat. It's over built to do what we need it to do, and that's just the way I like it. All we want to do is cruise along the shorelines on fair weather days...
Good thing I didn't ask a lot of questions of what kind of sails does it have, what condition were they in and how big would they be. Sounds like a neat plan. I always thought that if we couldn't sail anymore, then we would take the mast off and use the sailboat for a motorized boat but it would be too hard to be out there without the sails.
The early beginnings of the FHC navy! The USS Stinny, may I recommend WeldrDave as our secretary of our new navy with all his sea going experience. Although he's probably going to mount a flight deck on her.
That'd be cool. I'm sure I'd have to tear it off though after I lost a drone or three in the drink... ... maybe they come with floats.
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this Maine port, aboard this tiny ship. The mate was a mighty sailin' woman the Skipper brave and sure, And a dog set sail that day, for a three hour tour, a three hour tour. The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew the FHC Minow would be lost. The FHC Minnow would be lost.
