Reminds me of that duck boat that capsized and killed 17 people........if the school bus rolls, the roof would likely trap people inside.

Anyway, the Original Link takes you to the 353 Formula with a wakeboard tower.

Boat looked clean but how much did a 496 powered 353 cost new 16 yrs ago? 159K now seems steep but after all it does have a custom tower.......

Had a friend that bought a new '01 353 with 496 HO's and I want to say his was under $200K out the door but not by much.

Gotta love those Fla trailers!

Bunks hanging off the frame by 5’!


I remember trying to get a new one quoted while down there and telling the guy I wanted the trailer frame to go to the transom and you’d have thought I was speaking another language…….

Youre right, looks good!

Too much of this for sure.
That whole setup is pure junk.

Hate to be the fun police, but that thing is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

When I saw the barge boat I remembered 25+ yrs ago I had an employee that used to go out on a bus barge but it was full size and the owner of a roofing company used it for advertising. Intracoastal cruising only, but it was a full size bus on the barge. They would decorate it for the boat parade and fill it with people. Owner finally realized that while it was fun, it was a huge liability and he scrapped the bus, sold the barge. It was a school bus with 20-40 drunks on board at night in a crowded waterway..........what could go wrong! The captain of the bus was quite an animated character, kind of a cocaine cowboy type guy that was always scheming for quick money that rarely appeared.

Another $30 or $40k and you’d have a true classic.
