I checked with the guy who posted these pictures. He saw it at a car show in FL. I think it took some rather mad fiberglassing skills and some vision to pull this off.
Schwimmenwagen Florida Style!

I agree, nice work. I went to his web site, not much going on. There is a photo album though.

 Always wanted to do that with an older "bat-wing" style boat. Wouldn't think I'd be able to get it past the DMV here, though.. |

That's a ton of fun and he really has done some nice work. Glenn you may note he does have RHD... and LHD. Watch out for the stick shift on transition though.

| I just caught the integrated "rollcage" serving as a sun visor behind the driver. If he cut the bottom of the boat out to mount on the chassis, he needed that cage to keep the sides from collapsing! I'd love to see that in person.. too bad his website hasn't been updated in two years. |
