you have to admire the effort
Err - No - I don't

I did like the design of the starboard skid though -
obviously designed to help spread the weight if landing in soft sand,
( or snow ) and cunningly designed to look like a cylinder block,
presumably from another "old van engine".

Or was that the anchor

I think they might have problems with the installed engine though -
on start up there was a horrible screech -
sounds like the water pump might be on the way out,
or could be a fan belt slipping ??
