I saw one once on the delta in california... cool setup. if you have this kind of money, by all means, spend it this way!! you will have an easier life at the ramp. if you can time it right and stay away from people who think it is realy cool. they want to talk all damn day you know?

Wow. Just saw this on a Little Caesar 's commercial, and thought it was just a mock up for the commercial. I even told my wife that I wanted the real thing. Now I find out it really is a real thing. I want it even more!!
I remember seeing this rig when I was about 25 (53 now) it was in popular science or some mag like that and was described as a concept vehicle. This is one of the absolute coolest and useful concepts I have ever seen. Hats off to the owner for keeping it on the road. Well done!!!
It may surprise you that not every boater lives in a compact residential home with no real driveway, guaranteed this guy has a large drive through lot that fits this just fine. It's probably about the same as driving a super long wheelbase 18 wheeler.
Can I come on you boat"Mr.President." You know WHAT F that... can you please get back to DC a 3rd term would be less of a crisis to our constitution then what is currently getting fake tanner on priceless pieces of our history in the White House.

Logan McKee yah like the 70th record day in the stock market day before yesterday... Just this year! Nope couldn't be because Trump... Half this country is completely retarded aka liberal. Trump's far from perfect, but he's a hell of a lot better than the alternative/criminal choice we were presented with. At least he loves the country and wants to see it not only do better but do the best it's ever done. Unlike the dipshit Obama that compared American Exceptionalism with Greek Exceptionalism... What a bonehead... It's a wonder we still had a country at all after 8 years of that moron at the helm. It's more than time we started turning things around in this country. We're long overdue from the long, disastrous lack of proper leadership since Reagan. Hell, even Reagan wasn't totally right, escalating the failed "war in drugs" started by Nixon, don't even get me started on what a joke(would be funny if it wasn't so tragic in cost of lives and tax dollars wasted) that is...
As a kid my dad lived on his sail boat. One of our friends at the harbor had a delta van cruiser. It didn't have wheels of course.. but the design looked almost exactly like this. It was large and luxurious boat both the forward hull and coxman area looks just like a van. It was almost like driving a large conversion van on the water.
yes, i had posted this on facebook after finding a video where some guy found what i think was the prototype in a junkyard, i had a hard time finding the info because i had spelled it wrong, plus i needed the name of company which i now forgot, started with and h i believe, i think its spelled boatorhome, that was the key to find it. and it did say it was produced for several years, and it also worked as an rv, all open to go into.
that truck blew me away on he highway from the ramp up to boulder city with the boat on it. i was fully loaded in my escalade. thing runs nice. and they guy is really nice. good to see these days.. not some punk with a ski boat being shity!
applejacks971: Pretty sure that's a Fountain 27 Fever bud. Chicks had cigarette butts though. I owned a Fountain 47 Lightning w/twin 750HP Olds Engines for several years. Sure miss that sleek red pussy magnet. Had a Fountain Club thing going on in the San Joaquin Delta.
WOW!!! That is fantastic. Not my tastes, but love the creativity. At first I thought, "What's the big deal? So you can park half way in a boat ramp." Then it came apart! Love it.
That is 'wayyyy beyond cool! A very clever combination, it makes a boat trailer look positively archaic. Full credit to the team or individual that engineered the project.
MrWolfSnack exactly. Then the mining that it takes to get the products for those electric cars. Zero emissions, but you have to drive it 100,000 miles to make up for it, then at that point you'll need a new battery
MrWolfSnack The teslas start at 75,000, and are no nicer than something like an impala. If I wanted a 75,000 dollar regular sedan i'd go buy like an e class mercedes which is way more car than the tesla
the boaterhome actually is imported if its in the usa, it was originally made in ontario, canada and any one made which i think was 21 was made in ontario, canada
I don't know if it's the same one but when I lived in Lake Havasu back in the mid-late 80's one of these was a regular there. I've been aboard a couple times, looks like the same one like going back in time. Over the years I've talked about it many times it is definitely a unique vehicle.

If someone just handed me this vehicle and told me to launch it, I would probably assume it was amphibious and just drive into the water :|

Am I the only one that thought the whole thing was a boat lmao
yes
Nope
Initially, yes. Then I was trying to spot where it would detach. I guessed wrong.
i thought it was gonna just yeet into the water and drive off
No .
Not gonna lie didn't expect the boat to detach
I did. Just didn’t understand how lol

The first guy in the boat with 2 chicks was pretty cool.. but yeah, hes not cooler than the van that can back into the water and cough out a boat.
with the perfect matching paint job on said van + boat xD
That jeep did work. Big ass boat, triple axle trailer
A perfect illusion that the two parts are connected.
The illusion is that one can exist without the other.
i was expecting a small wooden boat to drive out the back of the van, not for the whole back of the van itself to come off! very cool!
And I thought he had an amphibious van.
Nice rig. Unfortunately u need 3 acres to make a U-turn with it
swerve driver ...or even a right turn would be tough
It's more like 40 acres to turn this rig around or 40 sticks of dynamite to blow this rig to aaaaa
Joey Freedom some can turn it onn a dime, or turn it right down town, but i need 40 acres to turn this rig around. Im barely 20 and i was thinking the exact same thing
Joey Freedom driving that is just like driving a bus, you make a wider turn instead of the normal turning radius.

Yes, a van with a 100 ft. wheelbase to haul a boat. Next project, a 200 ft. long garage and mile long circular driveway to park it.
But you still have to pick up the driver with the canoe.
