This counts as a boat
This “boat” met the minimum requirements set forth by the Ohio Division of Watercraft for a vessel of its size.
Registered as a pontoon boat less than 14 feet in length and with a permanently affixed means of propulsion of less than 10 horsepower, this motorized raft cost $120 to build and achieved speeds in excess of 1 mile per hour (when traveling in the same direction as the wind).
