Well I envision 2 options: 1) research/implement the rare (no kidding) "Schwimmenwagen" mods done at the factory to Type IIs to make her seaworthy and sail her over under her own power on the surface or 2) lengthen the air "schnorkel" feeding air to the to the fuel injection to go straight up a long way, caulk all the air leaks to the cabin and drive 'er subsurface a'la "Das Boot". Either way stay clear of the shipping lanes. Mark B. Magee 87GL 83K in TDM (Theft Deterrent Mode) Roswell NM USA
