My father and his chief mechanic once crossed the Atlantic in
winter in a 22' boat powered by twin outboards. Yes, it is possible,
even the
fuel. Got a "fireboat" welcome in NYC.

There was a writeup in Boating. Seems a couple of Norwegians were
crossing the atlantic in a runabout. Its been done with oars.

As for a fireboat welcome, there is no such thing. NY does have harbor
tugs with a big pump and a nozzle available for fire fighting.

Perhaps his daddy was a Norwegian and just saw someone taking a **** in
NYC?
