His name is Conner Sonnenburg.  Conner’s from Ohio and he loves boating.  But, he doesn’t have a boat that you or I would maybe ride.   He’s capturing headlines after cruising around Lake Erie in what might be the most delicious-looking watercraft ever. It’s a fully functioning HOT DOG BOAT!

It’s Conner’s custom one-seater boat that can reach speeds of 40 km/h.  You can find videos of Conner zooming across Lake Erie on TikTok. They’ve been viewed millions of times!  After watching some of these, it’s hard not to smile watching this giant hot dog glide thru the open water like it’s the most normal thing ever!
Ohio’s Parks and Recreation officials have reached out to Conner to have his boat visit some upcoming major boat shows. 

Think about it. All it takes is a bit of creativity and a fun imagination.  Who would ever think of a HOT DOG BOAT.  Check it out online……….trust me – it’ll make you smile.
