SO COOL!! Loved that show! Loved that boat. Would love to know more about it, like what it had for power and how a jet boat works.

@svenhodaka9145 Yeah, that's what I'm seeing. This story got me to digging around on You Tube to see what I could find out about jet boats and they're pretty amazing. I've often wondered what engine was in Relic's boat. It seemed pretty fast on TV so I was thinking V8 of some sort but then I saw a few videos of boats that only had 4 cyl power and they looked just as fast. That 5.7 Kodiac you mentioned... Would I be right in thinking that's a rebranded Chevy V8? I ask because Chevy supplied a lot of engines for marine use and often under different brand names.
