[Public-List] Axillary power

[Stephen Gwyn]

I've been thinking about this for a while now: I have an A4 which 
is aging, but still good for another few years. When it dies, at 
the age of at least 40, what I would really like to replace is 
another gas inboard. What I want is the equivalent of a 18hp 
Honda outboard, but with the engine attached to the prop shaft. 
It would be light enough to pick up with one arm and much smaller 
than the A4 (or a diesel). It would be quieter than an A4 and 
much quieter than a diesel. New gas engines are also pretty 
fuel-efficient. You can pull start it if necessary.

Has anybody heard of an outboard to inboard conversion?
