What is this?

Does anyone know what this is? I saw it in front of me the other day at a stoplight so I took a pic. It has a seat in front and wheels on it

Looks like a cross between a swamp buggy and a dragster.

Looks like a Fanboat.

I have no idea who these people are, but theres a fanboat in action.

Looks like a Fanboat.

That was my original thought, but then I saw the wheels. Also it's not attached to a boat and there was no boat in sight.

I saw that, too, a few days ago. I thought it was one of those thrill rides, that they have at the outlet mall in San Marcos, where you strap your wrist & ankles and spin around sideways :spin

That girl in the middle is carrying her camera. Maybe she hoping to see a gator!!! :lol

I wonder what's in the thermos.

Moonshine?

You're telling me someone actually flew in that thing?

Idiots. They make the Swamp People look smart.

i know, parachutes in any way, except for free falling seem dangerous to me... wouldn't a gust of wind do the trick every time?

Its called an airboat, very common in the everglades part of Florida. Tourists pay to take guided tours. What you saw may have just been the engine components attached to a trailer but that was definitely at the least an airboat motor.

What I saw was not just engine compnents attached to a trailer. Didn't you read the part about it having wheels on it. Besides, thispego already showed me what it is.
