I had a tough time figuring out where to post this one.

Boat with VW drivetrain.

I think the term boat is being a bit generous Laughing

So Andy Kaufman was into boat camping.

First, I'm surprised the torque hasn't already snapped off all of the paddles.

Second, I'm wondering if they are running a business office out of the deck.

Overall, fascinating, but in kind of an unsettling way.

It's probably best the low resolution precludes further discoveries.

It does look like Andy on the bow. More than likely it’s Vic Ferrari.

I’m guessing that’s a hovercraft. Never seen that model before. Cool though.
