I worked on that boat for years after this video. The boat is done. It was my project for a few years. New transom, the boat was gutted and built from the ground up. Fixed the broken stringers, replaced the rotten transom. New interior, new everything. You name it, we did it.

Yes, it is. The LS engines have 2 small lines on the front of the cylinder heads to allow air pockets to escape. This being a closed-cooled engine, the coolant reservoir needs to have fittings to allow air/coolant to constantly be purged from the cylinder heads, eliminating hot-spots. -Loren

That rinky dinky hull has never gone so fast in its life!

Wow!!! I can’t stop watching when you really boot her up! Beast!!!!!

That thing is so darn beautiful! The sound of the motor is so smooth. My gen V 454 sounds like a bucket of bolts compared to this thing. Wow , they sure have come a long way in the last twenty years. Beautiful motor guys, gorgeous!!!

If you look in the video, there are TWO heat exchangers for closed cooling. One is for engine oil/supercharger coolant, and the other mounted on the starboard side by the motor mount is for the engine block. The stainless headers do not need to be closed cooled because they are stainless.

@bibleortraditions

It's because the LS motors have a large cam which causes reversion. It literally sucks water back into the combustion changer at low speeds. To make it marine grade, you need H series main bearings designed for long term higher RPM use, stainless steel marine head gaskets, stainless steel valves. The closed cooling helps all the aluminum parts from electrolysis. You can make any engine marine, but special steps must be taken. I had these same type of exhaust systems on my twin 502's. After a long stroll through the harbor, the valves and heads were full of salt water.

The boat is done it runs around 52 mph on gps. The hull of the boat cuts the water like crazy. However this model isn't designed for speed. I'm extremely happy with the performance, it gets great fuel economy at 35 mph , around 7 mpg. It effortlessly gets on plane with as many people in the boat as you want. I'll do a video on my go pro this summer. I got side tracked and bought a 1973 Glastron GT 150 and put a 1978 mercury 150 tower of power on it and have been playing with that. That is a little edgy to drive, not for the kids to use.

Well, that's extremely interesting...

Real men real fun

Nice! You gotta get this thing on e85. I think it will make if safer at those high rpm extended runs too.

I have a 1964 fiber form that deserves that engine and out drive. Love the video thanks for sharing the neatness and quality of the craftsmanship. every body needs a hole in the water. also do you remember what the term B.O.A.T. stands for? bust out another thousand..... i guess the saying goes i do not care

That's bad ass!

They need to show the MPH & Tachometer gauges, length & weight of the boat. It seems they did a 1st rate job. A follow-up video showing the boat on the water when restored would be nice too. It looked like it hit 50 mph, but I don't know.

My dad bought a 2015 Camaro ZL1 with that exact same engine with 580 hp stock

Nice boat

awesome

I am amazed that people still use pushrod engines. At least when you stop, you have a spare boat anchor.

I love it....

Wow they do exist

that would be awesome in my 1977 regal royal 240. I currently run a 60 over 351w sbf. plenty of power, but I want more, I can top out at around 40mph now even tho she weighs out with my gear at around 5,000 lbs, but I want more.

, I'm kinda guessing because it's been a while but just the exhaust manifolds were looking at are probably 6 grand. Not like there is much choice. Even if choking it down with some old Mercruiser stuff didn't bother you I'm pretty sure they won't bolt to these blocks.

Install doesnt get much nicer than that... Listen to that baby just settle in an idle...amazing. Never before could anyone buy so much power in such a nice running package.
