One of the guys that has a boat here at the marina had this in his garage taking up space and could not get it started. So yesterday he brought it down on his trailer and gave it to me. It even floats :-D :-D Turned out that it was just old fuel in the carb and a flat batterie. After an hour I had it up and running, So now I have a vehicle to go shopping with as the nearest supermarket is just on the other side of the river, I can get there now in 10 minutes instead of half an hour in the car. If I make a bracket for an outboard motor, i can get there even faster.
Why add an engine when you have a that black bi-pod mast already installed, just waiting for a sail to get you going? The lights mean you can even handle the sail at night if need be.
Had a friend who owned one back in the 70s. Fun as a novelty to drive into the water, but he didnt have an outboard. He relied on large treads to paddle wheel thru the water. I recall it being pretty unstable with weight in it or with any chop and it was broken down most of the time.
Not sure where you are, but around here I would think it would need to be registered to be either on the road or water or both.
Free is a good price, just hoping the PO didn't have a good reason for it.

The name of my dink is Snorky by the way .... just so ya know. I took the rifle rack of the front when I got the thing as it was rusty anb would have scratched my rifles stock. Have to make one for the roll bar I think
Managed to tow a 36 foot stink pot into the lift well with snorky today from one of the outside floating docks. So now its not just a dink but a tug as well
Okay, look- if you're gonna persist in perpetuating the peculiar pinnace pretender as a possible penultimate propulsion, might i suggest pimpage to perfection?
