I have a collection of old VWs, some complete, others for parts. The motors can be used for many things: generators, sawmills, etc. I know most car engines turn the wrong way to be used in a boat. At 1:30 in the morning, and you can't sleep, these are some of the things you think about. An aircooled Bug engine in your boat. Sounds like something you see on the Red-Green show. If nothing else it might be a good anchor for someone with a Yacht. Kerplunk!
