The VA Aquaflyer is a version of the VE-50 that was to be installed in an enclosed, rear compartment of a specially built boat. The transom was recessed in a well that made the boat look like an inboard from the rear, and had a cover, similar to that of an inboard runabout over the motor. The VA has a diaphragm, fuel pumping carburetor that took fuel from a tank in the boat, therefore, the standard fuel tank was not needed and was removed. Steering was by cable and the steering handle of the standard V motor was also done away with; there is a blank plate put over the place where the standard handle assembly is normally attached.
