hot tub in boat?!

(cwbwakeboarder)

what does everyone think of putting a hot tub a boat. adds weight,style,and one hell of a party boat. only if i could pull it off. that would be pretty sick. does anyone have any ideas of ways to do it?

It seems it'd be difficult to heat that amount of water in a timely and gas-efficient bases.

you know those fat sacs with the coolers on the top? they just need to make a lager fat sac, with a hot tub in it. That is my plan.

Chris Wynn, is the owner of the camo Bu, which has a hot tub in the winter. I don't have pics, but I imagine someone does. My understanding is that he hooks it into the return engine water to keep it warm. Awesome idea!

Wakeshoe...I don't think that hot tub is in a malibu...It looks like it is in a houseboat. Too high up off the water.

I remember seeing that malibu on this site with the hot tub in it....it's been a while. But it's on here somewhere.

Pretty sure its actually the same Malibu that is in the painting boat thread, cant see the hottub in it because I remember them saying they put it in in the winter months.

Whoever said Chris Wynn's camo wakesetter has the hot tub in the winter was right. I think hot tub might be a bit misleading though. He puts a huge rubbermaid storage container in the center of the boat and plumbs the hot water coming out of the exhaust into it. Even though it's Texas, the waters in Dallas still get pretty cold in the winter to where most of us wear drysuits. Wynn's crew prefers wetsuits I guess and this is their version of a hot water shower before/after a set in the winter.

Wetsuit or drysuit, it's nice to put your toes in regardless.

sounds like a job for west coast customes, if they can put one in a van why not a boat?
