Default 440 LS3 in an 18ft jetboat!!!

Hey everyone,

This is a customer of ours from New Zealand. They have something different in the water down there, if you view the videos on our homepage, http://www.schwankeshortblocks.com/ Brian Direen - New Zealand Boat Videos, you will see him going through about, oh I dunno, 6 inches of water. You can actually hear the boat hitting the rocks and the jet drive loosing water.

Sorry for the video size.

Yes, it's the stock L92. We have had pretty good luck with them. This thing was making close to 600ftlbs!!!!!

Yeah, me too!!! I wish I had a garage full of the toys that our customers have. That is the hard part to working in a shop like this, you get the wants.

But I guess I should feed the family first.
