If Guzzi could put together something like this, you'd think they could make a boat.

Id seriously thought of taking my semi-v jon boat and mounting a v7 in it. I was going to shroud the engine, and then mount a 55a. VW bug alternator on top of the engine and do riddance of the 15a Marelli generator. Thus allowing me to use an electric fan to cool the engine.

Then get rescue a 'trash pump' from a clapped out PWC, hook it up to a steering stick and have at it.

That would be a good project! I sold an 850T engine a few years back for $500 in pretty decent
condition. Check the MGNOC adds for 'parting out' and see what you can find.
