SO YOU HAVE A BOAT, AND YOU HAVE A LAWN TRACTOR... DOESN'T IT JUST MAKE SENSE TO COMBINE THEM?

No.

Note the remarkably patient drivers stoically puttering along behind him.

As he said, it's a work in progress. Once he builds the version built around the Dodge Challenger he will have it perfected.

Dave, this is a marvel in engineering.

Think of the possibilities - he could give away a free AK-47 to buyers. Florida could give away driver's licenses. These babies could help stem the burgeoning python population in the Everglades!

I like that his wife was happy that the project got him out of the house, albeit as a menace to traffic for the surrounding community.

Dave,
I think this is a great idea. It goes along with knowing about guys. I wish I had one.

Wife Pat also enjoys Mr. Hinton's 'mowerboating' while playing 'snake in the grass' (iykwimaityd)

WTFBarrrrrrrBQ?

Robin - you wish you had a mower-boat or a guy?

That was my first thought also, Mot. I go nuts when I get behind a slow car in the passing lane. I would need the AK-47 if I got behind one of these.
Although in the summer, since I live in a rural area, it's not unusual for me to get behind a very slow tractor on a two lane road. Usually when I'm in a hurry too.

Very Slow Tractor WBAGNFA...

D'ya suppose they're probably not showing in the pic on the lake that he's sitting in 8 inches of water? From the inside shot of the contraption, it does not appear to be sealed well.

But will it still cut grass?

Next up for Mr. Hinton:

Continuing his maritime theme, he will combine a
portable toilet and a personal submarine. The
porta-sub-poddy will allow users to take a dump as
they travel under and around the lake, pond, or even
ocean.

Must be in the Coast Guard 'cause he's got a cutter. The Cutter Sark.

More like the Cutter Snark.

Much faster: attach a gang mower to one of these when you need to cut grass.

More power!

Add wings, bombay doors and bowling balls and I am so in!
