@akent Does it touch on “waterbugging”? Which started from a car dealer dropping an air-cooled bug into a river and it floated for half an hour. Waterproof the distributor, add a snorkel, snow tires on the rear wheels .. now it’s a boat. Sunroof for emergency exit and bilge pump or passenger with bucket recommended.

@akent @jpm unconventional shape for an Aluminium dinghy, looks like it needs more ballast.

@akent In 1998 the New Zealand Army lost a brand new Unimog in the Waimakariri River, just north of Christchurch when some soldiers tried to ford the river and found that it was bigger and deeper than they thought. Not only that, a few days later it flooded and the Unimog was stuck for days until the floodwater went down far enough.

@akent Yota's might float a while drifting downstream but sealed+raised air intake suggested and knowledge of what happens downstream advisable. Landy's sink, which may provide for traction ... depending on conditions and lockers ... so in general: Don't 🫣

@akent Once you turn it off, you ain't turning it back on any time soon.
