The joy of DIY
In 1990, I was busy turning round a pan-european manufacturing group (such fun in so many languages). It was the year after the Berlin Wall came down, and Ostis were flooding over the old border to explore this new world.
I was en route from one of the factories to Hanover airport, and we overtook a Trabi driven by a young couple, who had turned it into a convertible. Imagine a BT telephone engineer's tent, covering a manhole, vivid with red and white stripes. Now cut it down to about 1.5m high. Next, saw the roof off the car, leaving only the windscreen intact. Finally, fit the tent into the space thus created, with fabric bridging the gap between the windscreen and the (far too tall) tent. How the whole lot was removed amd refixed, heaven knows. Anyway, the owners looked truly happy. Good luck to them.
While your mind is still boggling in its socket, consider the origins of the back end of this boat. Garden shed? Garage? Former site office?
