Lol reminds me of the skiff my dad and uncle built back in the late 70's. Was one of those 10 foot wood skiffs from the old national science mags with a 35 hp engine. Literally looked like someone sitting on a lawn chair on top of a piece of plywood with an engine behind them. Surprised they didn't kill themselves.

Some people have way too much time on their hands. Usually leads to trouble. That doesn't even look fun. This belongs in the Stupid People thead.

Would've been interesting to see some slo-mo of the hull-flex.

Nobody got hurt and nothing had to be recovered from the bottom of the lake. Alls well that ends well.
