I love this thing, and more importantly, I love the concept. Why are cars so damn big, anyway? And they only get bigger. The whole point of a car is to transport your ass from point A to point B, so what’s the point of a 5500 pound boat? If this little thing had an electric motor and about triple the power, it’d be an efficient and fun rocket. You could slap an extra wheel on there, and maybe even rig up a cheap iPod dock and air conditioning unit. That might bring the weight to a ghastly 300 pounds though.
