by Pat Suwalski, December 2002
Foreword
Cody Lyster is a marine engineer who, in his spare time, likes to tinker
with various watercraft designs. His latest is this scratchbuilt model
Seadoo, designed to carry a Barbie doll.

Cody meticulously prepares Barbie for the ride of her life. A quick check of
watercraft electrical connections and mechanical functioning will ensure
Barbie a safe trip.
Success! Not bad for a first try. The vehicle works perfectly...
...until the first turn. Barbie was recovered safe and sound, her only
injury a ruined, pondwater-soaked hairdo. Turns out Barbie is a little "top
heavy!"
Perhaps a more conservative doll would have worked better.
