This just in from first mate Jim at Wieners on Water (WoW). Jim is the laid back first mate on the WoW boat where he sells hot dogs to all manner of water loving boating type folk.
Never ’twas a finer lad who lashed a bowline to a bollard. Aaaarg!
I was first acquainted with Jim when he sent me this video about his water borne shenanigans aboard his hot dog boat…

Hey Steve !!
We now have Wieners on Water tee shirts.
We are taking advance orders @ this point & can’t keep them in stock.
I will send you one in the fall when things slow down & we close for the off season.
Please let me know what size & where to send it.
The pics were taken on the 4th of July. That’s Laura the cook & boss. LOL.
We have such a great time & we love doing it.
The offer for lunch is still open !! Stop by anytime.
1st mate Jim.

Here are some pics of the fair and true Weiners on Water, along with Laura in the obligatory hot dog costume. (Hey Jim, I make my wife wear ours too, LOL!)
Click the pic for a larger version.
I can’t wait to see what the shirt looks like Jim and Laura!!! Can’t wait to model mine here on the blog, also. I will take you up on the lunch offer when I get out that way!
Keep up the good work matey, and tell our readers where to order their shirts in the comments if you would.
Now where did I put that Jimmy Buffet CD?…

P.S. Want to outfit your own hot dog boat? You can learn how to make everything you need using common hardware store materials (from water tanks to steam tables) by clicking here.
What’s the saying…do what you love and you will never work a day in your life. Seems Jim and Laura found their niche.
Kooool!!! Tell, Jim that is a good idea! Floating around enjoying the summer and the water and selling hot dogs. The customers don’t even have to dock, to go get food. Talk about, whatever floats your boat? ! Great Idea! Make your living…
then be a beach bum!
Jim and Laura, your dogs look really good! Is the brand local? What a great service you offer. Really inspiring work!! Continued success!!
Really cool!!! Do you have a regular route like an ice cream truck or just wait until someone flags you down? That’s a great summer gig!
Hey doggers !!
Butch & Laura are the owners & I’m the mate.
I’m single again & loving it. We open on weekends in the summer months & have a blast.
Butch is setting up a web store & hope to have it in action soon. I’ll send an update with the address when it’s up & running. The dogs we use are from Martin Rosol on Grove St in New Britian, Ct.
We also use their Kelly dogs (kielbasa)
The red hots are from Hummel’s of New Haven, Ct. Nothing but the best will do !! I don’t think the captain will flog me if I made Steve an honorary mate, so consider it done !!
Give a big Aaaarrg to mate Steve !!!
1st mate Jim.
Love It !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
I reaaaly want to know where to find those stainless steel sheet of manhatan’s hot dog cars. It’s for my wall, i’m crazy about this textur.
If you could help me, i’ll be very gratefull!

We hook up to a mooring & sit in the same place.
That way every one knows where we are. Driving around burning fuel is not cost effective.
We motor out from the dock about 1/4 mile & hook up for the day.
1st mate Jim.
Random question, do you guys do charters?
