    want to go fishing? just drive out onto the lake with a fishing pole and some bate

  2. Pat says:

    Early attempts by man at creating an amphibious car were garish and, worse, leaky.

  3. nothanks says:

    This is why cars and boats shouldn’t mate.

  4. Barf face says:

    top gear fan, methinks

  5. Daniel says:

    Van para Cuba

  6. prsfan2008 says:

    hmmm, I wonder why there’s police tape behind it.

  7. prsfan2008 says:

    Did he (or she) actually take the time to add a 3rd window?

  8. slim says:

    A little ‘tippy’ maybe? Wonder if the brake lights work, and what turns them on……

  9. Craig S says:

    Hmmm… Gotta say, convenient door access, weatherproof, and with a sliding door to allow for fishing, swings it into WIN territory.

    Hopefully there’s some ballast in the bottom of the boat to compensate for the 500 lbs of glass and metal being that far above the water line.

  10. T-Mag says:

    You can’t compare that to the Damper Van.

  11. markm says:

    If this van is rockin’, … don your floatation device and proceed to your designated lifeboat.

  12. Jon says:

    It’s not amphibious. They just took the upper half of a van and mounted it on top of a boat. Not a bad idea; it’s good for all-weather boating.

  13. jim har says:

    the front doors look a little tight…but the sliding one will work if u don’t mind climbing over the middle console… this is one of the best i’ve seen

  14. Rob says:

    How do you get in? It looks like the sides of the boat block the doors.

  15. jim har says:

    just call it the VW Boston Whaler model..i think the back panel would be much better with some duct tape..every pic in here needes duct tape

  16. Merani says:

    Didn’t they do this on Top Gear?

  17. rampart says:

    I”m in Boat! In mah flippy-floppys!

  18. monkeyslayer56 says:

    notice a similar van is pulling it…(boat removed)

  19. KnightStryke says:

    What they crew of the Transformers fan film lacked in budget they made up with in jury-rigging glory.

  20. jim har says:

    ok this is something my ex wife would hasve come up with.. she was such a hillbilly

  21. K says:

    They should totally get it all done up with like an airbrushed sunset scene on the sides, maybe some nice curtains, shag carpeting…

  22. jim har says:

    the movie was
    “deliverance” right this vehicle comes with a banjo

  23. jim har says:

    dave…i’m afraid of the company u r keeping

  24. Stefan says:

    jim har :the movie was“deliverance” right this vehicle comes with a banjo

    So it’s a deliverance van?

  25. TJ says:

    He’s just one fight with his wife away from that being a house boat

  26. jim har says:

    observe the mini “Lightning rod ” on the back

  27. Marianne says:

    Dude, that qualifies as a yacht now. Spacious.

  28. JB says:

    Would that Econoboatline really floats?

  29. jim har says:

    i could see a Fedex sticker on this puppy for the hillbillies living on the islands in West Virginia

  30. TJ says:

    It’s bad luck for a boat not to have a name, I vote the “S.S. Minnow”

  31. TJ says:

    That puts new meaning the the term Conversion Van.

  32. The Schwarz says:

    What do you get when you cross a van and a boat?

  33. rampart says:

    pretty sure that’s an old dodge ram, not a ford econoline.

  34. monkeyslayer56 says:

    looks like the boat failed to dodge the vans ram…

  35. doan says:

    And here we see Richard Hammond’s third attempt at an amphibious vehicle.

  36. ScottM says:

    Who know you could pick up under-age kids on the open sea?

  37. JB says:

    You got me on that!@rampart

  38. Trebor says:

    Serial Killer Vans: Now in handy Amphibian models!

  39. BennyBoy says:

    so if its a car and a boat wouldn’t that make it a coat?

  40. Davis says:

    I’m sorry, but I don’t think this is what Andy Samberg had in mind….

  41. Suzy8track says:

    This is what happens when white trash gets an idea in their head.

  42. Doomfrost says:

    The redneck’s idea of a luxury cruise.

  43. Demetrius says:

    Living in a van down by the river got to be so popular that he had to actually move *onto* the river to find a spot.

  44. dono1 says:

    TJ :
    It’s bad luck for a boat not to have a name, I vote the “S.S. Minnow”

    How about “Van Hurlen”?

  45. one small step says:

    The Schwarz :
    What do you get when you cross a van and a boat?

    banning a vote, but that’s illegal.

  46. snotnose says:

    Most of you have no appreciation whatsoever for fine craftsmanship. How sad…

  47. Albert says:

    Yet another occasion where I really want something that’s probably dangerous that I see on this blog.

  48. arrarr says:

    TJ :

    How about “Van Hurlen”?

    Cap’s Eyes.

  49. Anna Rexia says:

    @jim har
    WAY different than a VW van. I’ve seen one of those used in the same way, though, and I thought it looked really cool.

    arrarr :
    Cap’s Eyes.

    We have a winner, folks!

  50. Stringman says:

    It’s actually pretty cool, but I’d want some way to get OUT OF IT FAST because as it is, it looks like a death trap if it starts taking on water or flips over.

  51. ron says:

    When the vans a rockin don’t come a knockin.

  52. Rosemary says:

    Nice 1983 Dodge boat with low knottage.

  53. johnnyreb1983 says:

    So a perv can pick up kids by water now? Not cool. Mega Fail.

  54. Lawlerblade says:

    So this is what you can use to “LIVE IN A VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER” er in the river as well :)

  55. TG Nerd says:

    @Merani
    They did, twice. Ended up with a wet Hamster, twice.

  56. Emily says:

    @doan
    Exactly what I was thinking. I bet it was just as successful as the first two. XD

  57. RandomAxis says:

    One man, one voat.

  58. slythorne says:

    I predict it will sink, “Like a Rock”

    (It is a Chevy, minus front fenders)

  59. Macronomicon says:

    Great. Rapist vans have become amphibious.

  60. Jason says:

    This boat is real!

  61. azerty1992 says:

    Did anybody else notice the “police line — do not cross” tape at the nose?

  62. Daniel says:

    @BennyBoy

    rather make it a bar.

  63. upper says:

    Now you can get the classic child-molester-van look on the water….nevermind the police tape in the background

  64. Ron n Coffey says:

    You all mist the fact that it’s a flat bottom boat; witch is more like a barge then a boat; and would be more stable! And when a storm comes you’ll be soak‘t and he Will turn-on he wipers; and laugh at you all the way to the dock.

  65. duct tape diver says:

    @upper
    Well, it is a highly ambitious amphibious van for the pedo-man

  66. JimDawg says:

    for years Roger had wanted to join the vanpool…

  67. jim har says:

    if u r working the throttle in the back… how do u see any rocks at the bow? i can’t really see the prop but i’m sure it’s beat up badly… this requires a co- pilot…hey do u wanmt to come out on my yatch today?

  68. Nicole says:

    Isn’t this like the They Might Be Giants song “Boat of Car”?

  69. jim har says:

    “van down by the river” i met Chris Farley when he was at Second City Chi-town… I cried when i heard he od’d.. he was soooo funny… RIP Chris

  70. dono1 says:

    Let’s see… it has captain’s chairs… cruise control…a flooded carburetor…hydramatic transmission… yep, it’s a boat alright.

  71. Jason says:

    For the pedophile who also enjoys fishing

  72. Bogus Exception says:

    Let me guess… They pull it with that blue van next to it?

    :)

  73. Mr. Obvious says:

    This transformer’s robot form has a rat tail mullet, hi-tops, cutoff jean shorts, and proudly displays his confederate flag tattoo.

  74. Chris says:

    Property of Jethro Bodine, Double-naught Spy!

  75. Kareth says:

    So, is this what they meant when they said “Rock the Voat”?

  76. jim har says:

    hurricane Katrina caused some sure oddities

  77. Robert says:

    For what it’s worth, teh boat van is an old Chevy. The tow van is a Dodge. I wouldn’t want to be onboard in any kind of choppy water.

  78. Maverick says:

    Dude that is crazy!!!!!!!!! How does it run? :)

    • rrpostal says:

      Umm, just a guess, but I bet it’s that outboard motor sticking out the rear end. So I assume it runs like any other boat. It just has some van shaped sheet metal on top. I worry about some basic engineering and stability and I wouldn’t invite any business relations for a day on the lake. But I can see me building this for fun 10 years ago.

  79. Dave says:

    At least when you end up living in a van down by the river, you can do it in class!

  80. Kyle says:

    The latest advancement in Cuban engineering.

  81. TheAntiCat says:

    this will look real purdy next to the party barge at Cousin Jimmy’s place!

  82. Double A says:

    Thats heaps sick . No way is that a fail id love one. Warm in Winter . Perfect

  83. teezboy says:

    i´d love to have a boat like that *_*

    imho it´s a win :)

  84. Ted says:

    actually, it is a Chevy van

  85. Jim har says:

    i have a college buddy who lives in Tennessee and he said he saw this on the cover of Tenn. Yacthing Monthly June issue

  86. Jim har says:

    from Cuba to Key west in 8 hours :fare $35

  87. Jim har says:

    each seat comes with a motion sickness bag

  88. mr. mike says:

    It needs a CB radio and an eight-track tape deck, otherwise they’re just farting around.

  89. dono1 says:

    Well, then, that changes everything.

  90. towny says:

    by combining his two prize possesions Jed was able to save on his outdoor storage fees

  91. alex says:

    PEDOBOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  92. murphy says:

    looks like the aquateen house boat

  93. christine says:
