Can you put a roof rack on that for all my luggage?

...and if there are no parking spaces in Cruz Bay then just tie it to the dock or grab a mouring. In fact, you can just pull right onto the beach at the Beach Bar. It doesn't get any better then that.

Very cool transport, Jorge! Count me in for the frequent renter fast-break program. Maybe you can get Cruzan to sponsor a couple of vehicles to help get your new venture going - decal them up with the Cruzan logo, have them provide some kind of a built-in bottle rack for Cruzan purchases. Hey - maybe you can even rent it already provisioned with Cruzan...sorry, we are taking that STX villa with the complimentary rum bar hanging on the wall and I've got Cruzan on the brain :lol:.

Sorry Jorge, you're 40some years too late. In the category of useless information that is for some reason buried somewhere in my brain, I recalled a local article from years ago about a guy who had just such a vehicle, production. He used to drive down to the river here in Cincy and take it in. Main issue was the amount of maintenance required each time after taking it in the water. Thanks to google, I found it.

There are others doing custom one offs for big $$$, but this was a production model that you could purchase at your local dealer, once upon a time. Guess he should have been selling them on STT/STJ. :-)

Will do, Jorge - - take the pix, that is, not trust you - :lol: I'll try to get the pix taken before I turn on the spigots, can't promise good focus after that. In case you didn't see it when I posted it before, here's what I am looking forward to:

How uncouth - :roll: ! I don't think you can do that - I think there is some kind of a two-stage process to get to the glass - the owner was telling me that there is stop in there that fills up with a shot and once that is full you can dispense into the glass. Might need to try to rig a bypass...might need an eng-a-neer.
