During Masters week we decided to get outta Augusta and head to Orlando with the kids. We always enjoy walking Downtown Disney or as its now called Disney Springs. Outside the new boathouse restaurant this was on display. Thought it was pretty cool and wanted to share.

I wanted to take the boys out for a ride in one of the Amphicars but the wife looked and said "Nah.... we got a boat that's a boat, we don't need to go in that". Lol20151123_155621.jpg 20151123_155627.jpg

We did have a great lunch at the boathouse, although the best seat in the back of this Chris Craft was already reserved.

I was down there a few weeks ago as well and taking in the same sights. There was a long line to go out on the car-boat......or whatever it is called. Pretty cool for sure!
 
60 mph and steered by body weight - what could possibly go wrong? (at least it probably slows down quick with the prop and all!)
