Odd businesses, often little known and unthought of.
 
Like boat delivery, here is a land delivery business for sale on eBay:

And this one has been around awhile...
http://www.usdeliverycaptain.com/

Tried this last one when I got out of the Navy with a buddy, turns out, I ain't got no sea legs on top of the ocean, a short lived experience.

I have a niece who was part of a crew on a small yacht, she went to a culinary school and was the cook and food person...interesting job, she sailed all around the Caribbean.

I was a car courier in several ways, drove cross country to deliver them, from Ohio to FL, and also as I've written about working at 2 local Auto Auctions, one we picked up fleet vehicles on the East coast, the other I was a lot driver. Lots of these little oddball jobs out there which someone has turned into a fun and profitable business.

Boats, cars and trains...all present hidden opportunities for Fly Low and Collect the Dough cash cows.

Barnacles can be a bummer, yet bring in the bucks...!

Hi Gordon,

One business I once researched was a guy who cleaned the barnacles off of private boats.

I did a quick search... Here's another article about a guy who does this...

Hull diver makes a living cleaning boats

Anyone who lives near the water, and who can scuba dive, could do this business...!

Best wishes,

Dien
