Has anyone tried to homebrew a dive boat like these?

"Cubans try floating vintage car to Florida

Marciel Basanta Lopez and Luis Grass Rodriguez, who were sent back to Cuba in July after they failed to reach Florida in a converted 1951 Chevrolet pickup, were at the helm of the newest vehicle-boat conversioldren. The car is very safe."

The Miami Herald said the 1959 Buick was nearly halfway to Key West by Tuesday evening. Key West is 90 miles from Havana, but it was not immediately clear where on Cuba the group had set out to sea.

Anybody have any custom/home made dive rides they'd like to share?

With as much effort that was put into converting that Buick into a sea-worthy vessel, you would think that it would have been easier to just make a real boat out of wood.

I guess you could say that car was......all washed up!
