Put Oscar Meyer labels on the sides and it could be a floating hotdog

Re: Here is a very Unique Project

I work on oil rigs and see things like that all the time. the very thought of what it stands for, i could never have that as a pleasure craft. Every time i see that in the water I would think of every thing going terribly wrong

Like time to fuss :eek:
and u see my name.
i do everything in my power and then some to prevent the use of that type of craft.

NO Fuss :D
