Half LIMO, half BOAT! Kiev inventor brings a touch of class to river travel
- 5 years ago
An inventor in Kiev has created a classy new way to travel down the river with the invention of the limoboat.
The boat is one of its kind, says the owner Aleksander Dushko. He got an idea to turn a Lincoln limousine into a water craft shortly after founding his own car rental company 14 years ago, which rents out the vehicles to party-goers. Dushko has spent $30,000 (€27,003) to implement his ideas into reality, finally he ended up with a vehicle which can reach 90 km/h (56 mp/h) and has 200 horsepower. The limo was redesigned for cruising in the Dnieper river but the wheels are still in their place.
