Welcome to Rita's story

the pirates' lust- which have spilled on the shore of Margaritaville, and are protected by the Holy Squids. On Her hood butterflies
and dragonflies, flying into the stars, the evolution of man's soul. Her underneath is a shark, always in search of new adventures,
representing man's base beginnings. Margaritaville is an elusive Dream, a state of mind. It is the one we always search for and never
seem to find. "I have found that dream".....  It is in the hearts and souls of all living things. It is in brightens the lives of all those
who behold Her. She is the Goddess of Laughter, the laughter in our dreams.
of Laughter, the laughter in our dreams.


I believe we are just a little southeast of disorder!  (Houston)

When the project started early November 2003 I knew exactly what I was after:  “The Evolution of a Jet Ski”. I was in search of a
watercraft to build my little bit of Paradise.  A friend of mine showed up with this poor, mistreated, abused and beaten body of a
wave runner.  I went to work on her. And when I fired up the first set of lights on her engine cowl and stood in front of her, I knew
that she was in fact alive and ready for her new life.
Rita was built from a 10 ft Kawasaki wave runner and a Murray lawn tractor.  (best thing that ever happened to a Murray).  It was
literally like attaching a 2x4 to a rock!  Now She is an Art Car.  An Art Car is a vehicle that is transformed into art, where Her
body becomes the canvas.

Rita now sits on a John Deere frame as of 7/12/08. Ready to go with a hydrostatic transmission.
