In the Far East it is common to see open boats with a
transom mounted
Volkswagen car engine with the propeller on the end of a
shaft coupled
straight to the crankshaft and going down at an angle into
the water. No
gearbox, no outboard leg. You steer by swivelling the
whole outfit.. They
achieve quite high speeds.

A friend bought an outboard with a damaged leg and
effectively
converted it to an inboard.
