Nothing against the guy for building it. He has obviously put alot of work into it.
I just find it quite amusing! British eccentricity?

The fact that the guy probably spent years building the thing, but then actually sits inside so he can't see it from the outside when its afloat.

I'm guessing it's incredibly uncomfortable, hot, and unwieldy, making the whole exercise utterly pointless. Hence the reason it's on EBay.

Thats canoe lake near where I used to live. The guy with the tash in the bottom picture ran a model shop in Fratton. Nice bloke but probably one of the nerdiest voices I've ever heard.

I initially thought the same...until I read it!

I thought the people in the picture were giving the two chaps launching it funny looks. But can you imagine what looks "1 Adult plus 3 x small Children" would get clambering out of that thing after worrying the local duck population with their water pistol turrets!

There are some very mental people out there. But in this instance they add colour to the world biggrin
