Is it a plane? Is it a boat? No! It?s a plane boat!
This strange but really cool looking boat was actually made out of the fuselage of an old plane, a great piece of aerospace engineering history. The plane that borrowed its body for this unique vessel is The Boeing 307 Stratoliner. A groundbreaking aircraft based on the iconic B-17 bomber. Only 10 of these planes were made in the late 1930?s. The 307 was the first commercial aircraft that featured a pressurized cabin. This allowed it to fly higher and avoid weather and turbulence.
Ken London, a private pilot, bought the plane on an auction for just $62. He took the airliner to Ft Lauderdale, where he decided to convert it into a boat.
After removing the wings, Ken turned the airplane into a motor yacht. His work was completed in 1974.
He named it the ?Cosmic Muffin.? It was restored with the original VIP-lounge interior.
