SCOTT MCAULAY︎TOUGH, OILY LOVE
A longtail boat engine is the reincarnation of a reclaimed car/truck engine. They're ripped out of the old family Corolla, when it's given up, before being transformed and reborn. These engines become intertwined in a symbiotic relationship with vastly different families in a way not considered by many. Each engine has its own idiosyncratic personality and depends on its driver to resourcefully fashion it into the force behind his or her lightweight long canoe. Longtails form the backbone of Thailand's tourist transport. The engines are reincarnated once again as part of the family.
Its a tough, oily kind of love.
