Beetle converted to boat?

Purple Martin · 2006-02-20T04:51:12+00:00

I vaguely remember a couple of stories from years ago about people adding a propeller to a standard VW Beetle and using it as a boat... I think there was one that crossed the Irish Sea and another that attempted to cross Bass Strait. Does anyone know about these stories or where I could find similar information?

I want to put in a plug for the book Half Safe (and the sequal the other half of half safe (or something like that)).

Its an inspiring read.
