Talk about off roading…

You see people riding around in their $70K SUVs. I personally would buy one of these and pocket $5K (actually you would probably have to use it for fuel). Talk about a statement.

Another tempting purchase offered by the same broker is the ex-minesweeper “Belefonte” from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

    You were really traumatized by that flooding, weren’t you?

    A 100 ton displacement steel-hulled landing craft, for $300,000 ?

    Ah. I see. Reduced to $65k.

    Nice.

    I’ve long had a dream to pick up an old steel working vessel and turn it into a very large floating home.

    Yachts are of no interest to me, but the idea of going hippy wild on a solid floating steel infrastructure is quite exciting.

    Its more than a lnding craft- its a giant amphibious truck.

    Re: photo of the truck- I tried to link to one that showed its scale and wheels, but it wouldn’t let me. I’m not a tech-savy as you. I’m just a simple man….

    You’re right - changing what picture is displayed has no effect on the URL. I apologize!
