round boat what is it

[tnavel]

I just found a round boat in my neighbors back yard. it is called a roundabout patent #d-215.973. made by resort products in north Hollywood ca. on one side it has a wooden transom. a clear plastic bottom. I am told it had a place for a four post canopy.. has anyone ever heard of the weird boat. it also has two fins on the bottom in line with where the motor would go

I have never seen one in person but yes in pictures. Looks like a fun toy to relax in.

Kinda reminds me of a life boat off a freighter or oil rig?

They made round boats out of hides over a stick frame in anciant Europe, they were called coricals. Wow, would Og and his brother Grog ever get a kick out of this thing with a 20 hp outboard.

Looks like a bumper boat without the bumpers or a tea cup as mentioned.
