Acceleration & Sound by turboandstance - August 11, 2022 7 years ago, a video of a 2.8 VW VR6 GTI Engine swapped into a boat was posted on VWvortex and Youtube. It was an excellent build, but over the years, it has faded into obscurity. These guys tracked down the Owner (Reed Windmiller) of this build to finally let him tell the story behind BoatsWagen, his VR6 Engine Swapped Boat. (1967 Silverline) Just watch the video below to see the boat in action and enjoy the VR6 sounds.
