I bet it didn't take him long to build this thing. I mean, not like it's a golf cart or anything....

We've seen that here on the island several times. It appears to be pretty well built. No clue what car skeleton is underneath it.

Not for long.

I've walked around it and looked at it up close. It's well done. It's hard to tell what it's built on, but I'm guessing a small (S-10 or similar) pickup or SUV-type vehicle.

Looks like a Tundra underneath. Based on the wheels.

Could be a "Ford fkn Ranger" though.

Being a little involved with boating over the years I find it interesting and different, definitely a conversation piece.
