build a water recovery system from the outboard to run the interior
heater cores.

#1) You're right a dead Waser Boxer Westy is easier to find than a dead
Air Cooled Westy, and we could use the old Waser boxer engine for an
anchor. Or we could run the Waser boxer on plain water for cooling and
have evaporated water recovery from the cylinder head leaks to drink.
#2) Who goes to the lake when its freezing outside?
#3) Never see any more single wheel trailers? .......... maybe they
aren't worth a crap is why.
#4) I enjoy being crazy, gives me a general excuse for all my screw ups.
#5) I think the right name for a Westy on a pair of pontoons should be
called a Barnum and Baileyfalia. Bright red with gold pinstriping and
recorded circus music would enhance the spectator appeal very much. Or
maybe those recorder *All Skate* tunes they use at roller skating rinks.
#6) If a list member builds one of these Westy Water World contraptions,
I'll buy the beer for everybody that shows up for the first launching.
(Mike Miller and Terry K are excluded from the Free beer, don't want to
let them get started). We're already jumping the Friday Privileges.
