Car-boat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A car-boat is a boat or marine vessel built from, or powered by, an automobile chassis and engine. They have recently become well-known in the United States media for being the vehicle ridden by a number of Cubans who have attempted to emigrate to the United States by water. The term taxi-boat has also been used for a car-boat built from a taxi.
