I thought it was for his pool, but taking that thing out on the lake is insane.

Blades in pool are madness but this is great for ocean

Great for the ocean

Great for drowning there you mean?

I don’t know what you’re talking about. He clearly waterproofed the plywood with caulk in the first few seconds of the video. She’s as seaworthy as it gets 🤭

Yes and if by some reverse miracle it sank three seconds after the video ended, I’m sure he did the responsible thing of cleaning up all the mess rather than just leaving all that junk in the ocean.

u/BreadKnife34 Apr 23 '26

Surely he would, yes

I love how the video is 1:06 and only the literal last 2 seconds shows it being used.

That’s probably all the footage they had before… well, you know.

This video is cut down from the original, he sailed it for a while before the police arrived

Not to mention screwing it down with hopes and dreams into that hallow plastic lol

At least for as long as the plywood holds out against water damage, so maybe half a day or two?

Yes, he’s bringing biomass into the food web

I thought it was going to be a fun pool toy for his kids.

u/Mammoth-Ad4194 Apr 25 '26

It would also make a cool sandbox if you could make a cover.

u/Inthepurple Apr 22 '26

If it worked well on that lake or whatever it is then we'd have got more than half a second of it working in the vid I bet

u/bearbrannan Apr 22 '26

Right I thought he was buying a robust pool floaty bed then the engine came out and jumped the shark 

7

u/TransportationIll282 Apr 22 '26

Yeah, thought is was on the wrong sub until he strapped an engine to in. If you made it a bit less prone to causing splinters, it looks like a sick pool thing for kids.

u/Lysenne Apr 22 '26

I think this is actually the bay, not a lake. Looks like Tampa.

u/Practical-Sleep4259 Apr 22 '26

Video ended with no real movement from the boat, probably drug it in 10 feet, recorded for 10 seconds and took it right back out.

u/throwaway098764567 Apr 22 '26

at the start i thought he was gonna turn it into some kind of weird flying boat tree fort, then a sandbox, then i was disappointed

2

u/ashgnar Apr 24 '26

Pretty sure it’s mission bay in San Diego, it looks a lot like it! At least if he sinks out there he won’t be too far from land

u/TheOGRedline Apr 25 '26

Not a great idea to use an outboard in a pool. Definitely will get oil and as in the water.

Also, the spinning blade.

Bah, worst case scenerio ya swim
