Tell me those are two weed whackers hooked up as propellers for when the car is on the water? |

Nope. Two trolling motors, although he only had one at the show. It also had individual props internally mounted in front of each headlight (for front steering I believe), a foot pump for dewatering and the body was completely foam filled. |

If you had the money you probably wouldn't be here but on the bimmer forum, or on a date with your non-inflatable girlfriend! |

Ive never seen gas powered trolling motors like those, they sure look like weed whackers. Perhaps that was the preliminary design? Didnt look like they worked to well |

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man - If I hadnt just bought 3 more VWs......In all seriousness, this was along the lines of what I had in mind for the Bug Hearse I am building, but it didnt match my wifes vision and she won. But I think I am gonna do something like this eventually. Is part of this one of those old VW T rod kits?
