Sail the Roads in This Ford E-350 Van-Based Boat Car for $55,000

This example’s hull once was home to a berth that slept four adults, though it now rumbles with the six inline cylinders of a 4.9-liter Ford truck engine. Its interior—though more of an exterior at this point—is still fully maritime-spec, and features teakwood floors (recently cleaned and oiled), marine-grade carpeting, and vinyl upholstery, which unsurprisingly matches the polymer-ific ’90s Ford dashboard.

It still has its boat horn and bell, but otherwise, it’s mechanically a normal Ford E-series. The power steering still works, the radio still plays nothing but surf rock, and both the airbags and seatbelts for five occupants are still in place. In case not having any roof whatsoever doesn’t keep you cool, the air conditioning still works, and the all-important headlights, taillights, and turn signals required for street legality are functional. The tires, brakes, and radiator have all recently been serviced or replaced, so despite this van/boat/thing’s odometer reading 158,000 miles, it should have plenty of life left in it.
