In some countries this is ideal, in others it would not be possible to use this as a daily driver legally. There are countries (mostly Europe) where the car and engine numbers must match and the engine must not be rebuilt. Fortunately, boats do not suffer from the same fate. Things are changing there too as one of your last posts pointed out. Personally, my last Beetle was stolen or I would still be running it today.
