DIY or Don’t: A Handyman’s Dream
A man channels his inner inventor by creating his own DIY water floaties using just a plank, a chair, and an electric motor. His crafty spirit is commendable, but how seaworthy is this makeshift vessel? He must know that safety should always be the captain of the ship!
His invention lacks essential elements like stability features, proper seating, and most importantly, safety gear such as life vests. The first motorized boat was patented in 1886; since then, safety standards have evolved dramatically. While our DIY enthusiast may enjoy calm waters on a sunny day, this homemade watercraft could face challenges with balance, durability, and legality on public waters.
