Can anyone find a weirder boat?

When did Evinrudes start running underwater?

 

@hoytedow,
Nobody said the design was perfect!

It also has a truck axle welded to the bottom, to make it easier to launch on the boat ramp.


I should note, before anybody gets the wrong idea. This isn't MY submarine, it was simply moored at a harbor I spent a lot of time in.

 

...one would imagine that if you can afford a big outboard like that, the owner would have enough brains to understand a few more relevant engineering principles

 

This one is particularly hideous-may be a practical thing but I had the misfortune to lay eyes on it once while visiting Seattle....

Han, you have, indeed, set the bar high. In fact, so high that I am going to take a drive, myself, and find a specimen in this land of home-made and cobbled together. I believe I know where to look but pray I don't bring a curse down upon us all with this most hidious thing, vile, corruption of God's law, wanton waste of raw material, Medusa, and home of the powers of darkness and evil. I will present...The Albatross (after this build-up, I hope I can find it!).

 

Wow. Hideous is the word for it. I scrolled through all the pictures, and it's just as sterile and ugly inside as it is outside.

Excuse me while I go wash my eyes with bleach water.....

 

At least it isn't made out of concrete.

 

I've always like this one

 

What does it rate?

 

I understand money shortages,bad luck,etc but with probably similar effort and $$,it could have been at least styled a little.

And it's not so much the esthetics (well,actually it is)-but resaleability.
It's usually hard enough selling a boat,why make it harder by styling it after an LSD induced vision of a Mad Max inspired nightmare?

The funkiest floating homes I have seen are those built with little money.
Imaginative use of driftwood,bottles,ropes,logs etc is something I can respect.
Welding up sheets of steel into a box I can't.

I'd rather live in a Davidson Tugger

 

I reckon its awesome !!!!

 

The table photo is on this very thread a few months back, btw.

 

Turns out the owner of the Albatross I was going to delight you with got wind of my intent and moved the boat to Seward a day early. In fairness, his other boat is an all time favorite and I'll share it - the American Beauty, an 108' Marco, not weird but magnificent...

Here's some...

I've just found this...

 

Lol,

That ingenious gentleman lives down the street from me. I don't know him personally, but he drives a semi tractor with a NASA sticker on the side as his daily driver and I heard he builds custom gatling gun exhausts for motor cycles
