Just a cotton-pickin minute: 12 barrels, half sunk, 1200 kilos of buoyancy, nothing extra at the front where the engine is. Is this one of your old tricks?

looks rather like an early version of James Dyson's Sea Truck - which might solve the problem of the apparent displacement prob for the barrels, as there could be a "box" in which the lorry is sitting.

There seems to be some propellor turbulence at the (rear) blunt end.
