Such a cool project. Now, if only I didn't live 1000 km from the sea in a small apartment...

Amphibious vehicle it is, then.

Just mod it into a helicopter to carry the boat, easy.

Yeah I'll make a design on the back of a napkin. Nothing can possibly go wrong.

Just build it out the window and wait for the waters to rise. Biblically correct method ๐Ÿ‘

You get to have a bicycle and some backyard grown potatoes for fuel.
