Building, Testing, and absolutely shredding this little tikes "Tuggy" sandbox boat! I go in depth of how to build one, and what mistakes I made along the way. Once it's up and running we get people's reactions, as well as the police's reactions (spoiler: these were awesome guys). Afterwards we have an absolute riot with friends trying this out. Let me know your future video ideas down in the comments!

Advice to anyone who wants to build one - find a step 2 model if you can (white top). This little tikes one has very little material on the back end and is more likely to take in water, the Step 2 ones were much better for this. Obviously, if that's all you can find, the little tikes works great as well!

    The bailing bucket should be a child's sand castle bucket. Keep the theme.

    One of my buddies has been driving around Lake Michigan in a very similar tug boat sand box, since 2010... Since he had it registered, (and it also had navigation lights, a portable radio, horn, oars, etc) the Coast Guard did an inspection, and gave him a vessel approval sticker to take it out on the waterways. He has been enjoying many years out on the lake with it... Although yours is way faster because he only has a trolling motor on it.. Great video. And wishing you many great years out on the water with your cool little boat.

    Wish all Fish and Wildlife cops acted like these ones did. Great video. Deserves more views, more comments, more likes.... New sub here.

    Finally some decent cops that are actually concerned about safety rather than writing tickets.

    Lil tip from a dinghy sailor here: horse feed scoops that has a flat side are GREAT for bailing!
  • If someone had a lamborghini yacht on the lake. I think you would have gotten all the attention That's a pretty cool Little boat

    Ths fact it has nav lights but didnt have a bailing bucket or paddles or rope etc was hilarious 😂 Upgrade ideas - add small atv battery up front and wire up a tiny bilge pump and attach hose the outlet hose to motor mount to spray out the back...save ya some pumping at least untill battery dies. -Can also run wires up to nav light inside "roof" part to hide the wires and make light functional for when it starts to get dark. - rivet on a paddle clip/holder somewhere to hold manual bailing pump just to get it off the floor and out of the way - Wire up loud electric horn beside the nav lights and hide wires the same way...loud horn tiny boat = funny - collapsible paddle or just a really small one to match boats size and so it doesn't take up too much space - 2nd paddle holder to actually hold the paddle. -5l Jerry can for extended fuel range
  • Canadian cops just check that your craft is safe, if it was American cops (game wardens) they would confiscate your craft, check you for warrants, ticket you for no water craft registration, arrest you for endangering other water craft and then ticket and tow your truck back at the landing while you're being detained.

    Awesome! I bought one of these for my little niece who adored it. Thoughts of making it seaworthy crossed my mind but never pursued them. Ten years later I came across it while visiting my sister. Sun damage had warped it and had several large holes from where some animals had chewed through. I offered to take it to the dump but my niece insisted on keeping it. She privately told me it was her favorite of all time! I enjoyed your build and the hilarious outings on the water!
  • When I was seven years old I tried so hard to convince my friend to turn his sandbox into an actual boat that we could take on the pond. His dad was a kill joy though so it didn't happen lol

    I love it! Genius. When I was a youngun we were at a party at a lake up in the woods. It was May and the water was freezing. My buddy backed up to the lake and launched his boat using the reverse braking technique you show out of the back of his truck. Only problem was the boat went out into the middle of the lake because it wasn't tied off and no one in it! He had to swim out in fifty degree water to get it!
