West Nanticoke, Luzerne County-A Luzerne County restaurant is getting an unusual addition onto its business.
 
The owners of JJ Banko's Seafood in West Nanticoke bought a 50-foot fishing boat from Florida.
    He's adding it onto the side of the restaurant and turning it into a dining room.
    The addition will provide seating for nearly 80-people.
     "The customers, most of them don't want to see it until its done, but we've put a couple of months into it, and we can't wait till its done."
  Owner Jeffrey  Bankovich named the boat "Miss Arlene," after his mother.
    They hope to have the new addition open for business by Spring.
