Car-boat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A car-boat is a boat or marine vessel built from, or powered by, an automobile chassis and engine. They have recently become well-known in the United States media for being the vehicle ridden by a number of Cubans who have attempted to emigrate to the United States by water. The term taxi-boat has also been used for a car-boat built from a taxi.
Another example of a car-boat is the Aquada; earlier examples of this "car-boat" have been around since the 1950s.
