I'll be darned, I've seen VW air cooled motors in a lot of different stuff, never knew they put 'em in a boat! That would be the 36hp horizontally opposed air cooled 1100cc (I believe).

It's a very cool boat for 1949. Have not been able to find out much about the boats designer, Delfosse, other than he also designed race cars.

That Delfosse is one great looking boat from behind, I wonder how it looks from the bow.
