Haven’t seen many LS boats here, not commonly at least. Would be kind of cool to see a similar style build go into a jet boat. 200k mile work truck block with a cam and big turbo making 1000+.

Edit: okay he did make this on spray, but the price point is good.

I follow them almost religiously haha, Matt Happel is worth a follow on IG in my opinion. (thedenmah)

I've seen a few videos of LS/LQ powered boats on youtube ( and one ski boat) but not as many as I would have expected.

This has been a reoccurring conversation around our dinner table. I have an extra junkyard 5.3 in the garage...I've never paid more than $120 for a 4.8/5.3 long block.

Steves86ta is along the lines of what I want to do to mine eventually. Swap stuff is still sort of expensive comparatively though. You’d have to spend some $$$ on the pump but power vs cash you could have a pretty bitchin junkyard turbo boat for maybe half the cost of a high end big block build. Just wouldn’t look pretty lol
