This Pontiac will pwn you in the wavies

This guy chopped the top off an old 26-foot cabin cruiser and chained a 1994 convertible Pontiac Sunbird on top of it. "The steering wheel is connected through a hydraulic system to a pair of 200-horsepower outboard motors."

The Sunbird rides smooth across the water, almost like going for a Sunday drive. In fact, Johnson has done just that — taken his wife, Lynn, out for a leisurely Sunday ride across the bay, their black Lab, Hunter, in the back seat, oldies music playing on the tape player.

Yeah. And considering that it's a Sunbird, this is probably the fastest one has ever gone.

As this photo shows, the Pontiac is good for more than just straight-line acceleration.

When he gets far enough out, he can unstrap, and give that POS the burial it so richly deserves.....

I already know how that thing feels. Like there is a constant feeling of tipping over.

It occurs to me that this boat is really rice. Just look at the size of that wing.

And it's got two of them!
