    What could possibly go wrong there?

    The driver seems to have his foot on the brake. Presumably there is a platform across the boats that will be hooked to a low dock ?

    This might LOOK like four small boats, but they all rise and fall in EXACTLY the same relation to each other. They are either fixed together very very securely, or it's a barge with four bows, constructed like two catamarans.

    As to the second vid, "She'll be right mate" after all, what's one bus more or less?

    i think it's faked. look at the bus. Could it really be supported by those small boats well enough to be doable. I doubt it.
    Stupid is forever, ignorance can be fixed.

    I imagine the bus is on a full length ''ramp'' lashed to the boats. I wonder if they can use the tide to float the ensemble?

    With the inner sides of the boats touching the underside of the bus, there would be little room for movement independently, the bus is the binder for this, I just hope the brakes hold! That's not 4 hp, that's 4 MAN power! so about 1/4 to 1/5 hp or less! Not sure why they don't just use on of the other boats to tow it and let the 4 guys just steer?
