Default Wheelchair as a tow vehicle

Every 5 month old should have his own boat right? I repurposed an RC boat hull and Grandpa and I build a trailer to tow it behind my wheelchair.

That is so darn cute it almost hurts. You might consider adding a bit more side bolstering for safety though. Glad you added a seat belt! How's the little one like it?

You rock, Jeff. It was an inspiration when I met you on White Lake and Lake Michigan. Are you still driving the Donzi? Nice pics BTW.

The kid loved his first ride.

I have a steering wheel to add and we have to make some adjustments to the seating to hold him more securely. I'll have to add a throttle too. This was the trial run.

Thanks thirdchildhood, I miss boating with you and the Michigan Donzi crew. I'm still running the Donzi out here in SoCal.

That is great, what a lucky kid. Soon he'll be asking for the keys to your boat.
