saw the weirdest boat yestrday. on our way to st. paul for a wedding and stopped at the tiny hamlet of duverny to check out the nsr. (very shallow). took a long look at a homemade houseboat. someone had removed the the entire roof of a school bus, turned it upside down to create the hull and installed an inboard jet system. add the steering controls, seating for around 12 people under a big canopy and you have the strangest looking fishing/tour boat. wish he was around to talk about it.

Can probly do it all from your phone if you have a good data plan but home computor and internet is cheaper.

Assuming you've got a smart phone there's a mobile app available for Photobucket. You can send your pics straight from your phone to Photobucket, then you can get the URL from the app and paste it into your browser, just like on the compooter :)

If the bus had a sunroof, you could do glass bottom boat tours!

Its very creative.......love the thought proccess involved in making it work, I mean, who would look a an old bus and see a boat? I could see making an old bus a cattle feeder if you took the windows out and turned it upside down.

Possibilities for a business are endless.
Chop the roof off a school bus and trick it out to rent for grad as a convertible school bus. The Bimini Bus

Then take the roofs to make the boats.Market them with the slogan"We give fish an education"

The only thing missing on the original bus is a Pot Belly Stove in the middle.
