I had a brainwave the other day about putting a small (300cc)
aircooled two stroke as an inboard in a small wooden boat. With
adequate air circulation can anyone see any potential issues here? I
would build the boat with this purpose in mind so adapting something
to fit would not be a problem.

Isn't an old Vetus an air cooled two stroke marine engine, or am I
imagining some of that? And didn't they do something strange like run
backwards and forwards?

No, silly me it was a VIRE two stroke.
