new boats around the landing

[Big Mike]

was eating lunch at the landing yesterday and saw a couple interesting boats.  Must be a new boat manufacturer that I was not aware of!!  LOL

I went to captains school with the tiki hut captain.  His day job is building high end tree houses. He also build the tiki hut, he used a bunch a barrels, basically unsinkable, but indicated kind of hard to steer.  He's a nice guy.

Tiki hut floats are popular on the inter coastal down in the SE.

Never understood the tiki hut decorations.  Saw several on docks at LOZ the last few weeks.  Looks like a grass fire waiting to happen.

No kidding.   I've always wondered why people come HERE and try to dress their place up like some tropical paradise. 

This is the Ozarks, not Gilligan's Island. 🙄

The amphicar, or amphibious car, is an attraction you can pay to be shuttled on.  They have one on the landing with rates. Tiki Hut, well that is neat looking,  I think.

its hard to tell from the picture but the boat car thing looked like it was going to sink at any minute.  There was a couple in the back seat getting a ride and the water was coming right up to the top edge of the car.  I did see it on land as we were leaving and it is pretty cool looking but just not so sure how seaworthy it is.

Wasn't there an issue with those duck boat things down there in a storm?  Who would launch a venture in crafts like that waiting for a law suit?

this is atleast the 3rd year it's been at the landing, it always looks like that.

I wouldn't send my worst enemy out in one of those water cars. Those things look like they could sink in a heartbeat.
