About a year ago my wife made a bet with me that I couldn't build a Boatcar, but I proved her wrong. I purchased a GMC Jimmy with a 4.3 V6 and stripped the entire body except for the chassis, the seats and the motor. I then found a 18.5 ft Sea Ray bow rider that was ready for the landfill. She was stripped of her motor, out drive, and her interior including the floor. I then brought them together as one. She is now street legal because she has head lights, tail lights, turn signals, windshield, horn, seat belts, side view mirrors, and a rear view mirror. I've dedicated this boat to my wife "Robyn" who suffered for a year with Breast Cancer and is now Cancer Free!! She and my family love the Boatcar, and I hope you will too. See you soon at the shows!!
