So back in December, Kerri and I took the boys to Disney World for a few days of rest and relaxation as well as rides. My wife loves the place, my kids love the place, and since I’m allowed to do THIS for a living, I’m more than happy to go wherever they want to do and hang out. Over the course of our travels we went to a restaurant called “The Boathouse” and while the food was spectacular the collection of boats they have in a small marina behind the place is absolutely epic. I’m not a “boat guy” per se. I don’t know much about them, I am not interested an ocean voyage, and it just isn’t a topic I think about a lot. I am however a “cool stuff guy” and my God is this some cool stuff. We were told that the collection you will see below is worth something like $8-million bucks.<\/p>\n

From the mighty Allison powered racing boat to the amazing and very rare 1950s styled boats, the Chris Craft creations, and the freaks that look like they’d kill you in a heartbeat the collection is full of historic, whimsical, weird, and awesome stuff. Thank fully, all of the boats have placards with their information on them because I’d be lying if I said I knew a lick about any of them before reading.<\/p>\n

The other thing you can do at the Boathouse is take a ride in a real Amphicar on the water. I’ll be telling you and showing you more about that tomorrow. Hey, when else are you ever going to have the chance, right?<\/p>\n

I think you are going to love these boats. My son Tom and I spend far too long looking at this junk and wondering how much each was worth. The answer? A hell of a lot more than we could imagine!<\/p>\n
