A friend of mine had a Westie with a Mazda gas motor for about 8 Baja
trips.  He pulled along a nice little Baja Bug behind and spent the months
of Northwest winter along with most of the rest of the Population of Hood
River, Oregon windsurfing on what is called the East Cape of Baja.
  It seemed to work fine for him, his wife and their two young sons..It may
have even been a rotary I don't know for sure.
