First off, best of Seasons Greetings to all my friends of BV8.
Back burner project, just got moved up, in priority. As many of you may know, I really dig aluminum. I always wanted an all-
aluminum car. Not too many car bodies in my price range,(aluminum). Thinking outside the harbor, I fetched a 12' aluminum boat.
Just big enough. What makes it float on water, would tend to do same in air, so "invert". Extend the, new bottom 6-8", to get
enough cross-section, ( flat bottom). VW, aluminum, twin tube/trailing link, front suspension. Alum., spindle mount wheels, ( 2 in
front). One wheel pusher, in back. Engine/6 spd. trans is Suzuki Bandit, 2016 1250S, with alum swing arm. Alum. wheel is 6" x
17", should be wide enough. Projected dry weight is under 800 lbs. It's a 3 seater, with pilot centered/front. In CA., this will be
registered as a home built motorcycle.
Onward, Art.
Great.
Something different.
There was a rather natty boatmobile sold on BaT a few months ago.
Impressive that you can register it in over-zealous CA.

Thanks Ivor,
Haven't seen a driving/capsized boat, on the road before. "Boat tailed Speedsters", not quite the same. I see this as a minimalist,
vehicle/ boat thinghy.
Onward, Art.
Art - when are you going to post some pictures of all the crazy stuff you talk about here? You know the old saying "If you can't see it, it doesn't exist".
Yes, thank you for the friendly trolling. I visited you. Your turn ?
2021 and beyond.....
