The Dippy! (Disappearing Propeller boat)

The Dippy is a unique boat originally built in Port Carling, Ontario Canada. The unique feature is its disappearing propeller, in that if the prop hits an object it will retract into the boat preventing damage.

Incredibly the music that accompanies this piece sounds very much like the Putt Putt sound made by the Dippy's infamous little engine.

Once ridden in, a Dippy is hard to forget and those of us blessed to own one tend to be as eccentric, fun loving and obstinate as our little boats.
