    It's a stern drive, starts with a key.

    We're screwed. Unless their undead fingers are unable to turn keys?

    Two other thoughts...

    1) I wonder if some zombies are smarter/more intelligent than others.

    2) I wonder if geography plays a roll in the type of zombie you can expect. For example...I'd imagine zombies here in AZ are probably a lot different than zombies say...in Wisconsin. Clearly the Wisconsin zombies are going to be much fatter and slower than most places.
    Hmmm...a boat with beer in a large lake in Wisconsin. It's all coming together! :lol:

    This is gona be a Webseries, looks pretty good.

    Academy-Award nominated actor Thomas Haden Church (Spider-Man 3, Sideways, Wings) co-stars as a tough as nails Park Ranger who teams with an unsuspecting teenager, played by David Dorfman (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Ring films), to escape a cursed stretch of highway that resurrects roadkill in the form flesh eating zombie animals. This new breed of terror is not just playing dead.

    Zombie Roadkill centers around a group of college kids as they are driving on an unfamiliar road. Everything seems fit for a road trip to the lake but, when the group accidentally runs over an unsuspecting squirrel, they quickly realize there will be a price to pay. The cursed road brings the zombie squirrel back.

    i wouldn't be so certain... why does a zombie have to take one to the head to die? arent their body functions still basically the same as any human... just their brains are fucked up

  • I am of the opinion that zombies are unable to swim though they also cannot drown.
    So, do they float like dead people?

    Also, I don't believe a zombie would 1.) Be able to start a boat's engine, 2.) Steer the damn thing with any sort of accuracy, so one being able to reach you in the middle of a lake would be highly unlikely.

    Na, you're thinking of the infected, like from 28 days later, real zombies are dead, so no body functions... Well, except the shuffling about looking for braaaaiiiiiinnnnnss. Not really sure why a re-animated corpse would have its brain as a weak spot, but whatever, it's an excuse to do some serious noggin' bashin'!

    You know, even if they could start or steer the boat, there is no way they could figure out how to refuel.

    ah ok... well thats where i draw the line of believability... infected people are plausible... walking dead not so much

    i still think the walking dead would need to reboot basic bodily function in order to have any mobility... i know were talking sci-fi shit but muscles would still need oxygenated blood in order to function... and theres always plenty of blood when you blow their heads off... wouldnt most of the dead have been drained of their blood during the embalming process?

    They can't drown.

    So if they can't drown, how do you kill them?
    Movies (and videogames) tend to show either a shotgun or a good ol' decapitation does the trick.

    And if they can't drown, we also have to assume that when they are walkin' around in search of brains, or someone to chew on, that they are also not breathing...


    So, what about the 28 Days scenerio. Clearly the infected "zombies" would be able to swim. I mean, they are completely human except for the fact that their brains are now telling them to kill and eat other humans.
    With that type of zombie, as long as you kill them (like any other human) they are dead, and in which case they WOULD drown. Would def. have to go farther out on the lake!


    Bottom line: Know the type of zombie first. I'm still getting my boat and my beer, all I need to know is the type of zombie so that I know how far out to go! :lol:

    I was refering to the undead type. The 28 days later zombies eventually die of starvation, because they are humans infected with the rage virus. The undead Zombie is dead, then reanimates. In which case you might want to bring a loaded shotgun with you on the boat, and plenty of ammunition. Good luck.
