I'd like it better if there were a cover for the engine or at least a bulkhead between it and the passengers, but it's still very cool.

yeah... Pretty sketchy. How do these engines stay cool? I don't see any radiator.

Came here expecting to see an LTD with a 428 swap. Was not disappointed.

Boat motors usually pull in water from whatever they're floating in to cool themselves. That's why you'll see a stream of water out of an outboard. It's the water that has circulated and cooled the engine being pumped out.

All boats are pretty much automatic CPs because they costs never end, you basically have to be okay with taking a bath on the whole deal when you decide to get a boat.

Ahh, cool! I'm going to assume it's filtered as to not ruin a water pump?

I don't know about the big V8s and such but on smaller boat motors they sometimes use a strainer to remove various bits, but other just shape and size the intakes so that larger pieces can't get in. This can cause the intake to get blocked if you're in a bunch of weeds so you have to pay attention to that stream of water going out.

yeah it really should have a cover, I have a hard time believing it doesn't or didn't. Could just be a small penis move...

1. A boat is a hole in the water you throw money into.

But...

2. It has a Cobra Jet! W00t!
