Jet boat, Tenerife. Dual V8-engined, turbo big-block.

Came across this in Tenerife, Puerto Colon. Dual-engined, turbo'd big-block'd jet boat. Sadly, no action in this (got some on the mobile phone which will be crap quality). Turned out I knew the owner, from when he used to fix bikes in Inverness. Small world :) Location is tagged in youtube so you know where to find it :)

I am the chubby guy on the back I had the pleasure of working for these lovely people last summer. Hope to see it back here in Tenerife in 2010.  Wherever you guys are hope things are good. Big love as always to the kids.

Pretty sure I saw Paul in Inverness the other night.... maybe he's jacked it in, or was just home for a holiday :)

Aren't those LSx motors, not big blocks?

[lansing9r]

They could well be - I'm not up on my engine models, I was only going on what Paul had written on the flyer they were handing out :)

you need to add a few more non functional scoops, you only have 4 on there right now, maybe you can get another one from autozone.

@fmosracing i thought the lsx were 454 which are big blocks?

[themechanic345]

What's the point of turbos on that? Aren't they for HP through acceleration and varying RPMs?

[steelmesh]

Is that a tourist vessel?

[handiest1]

I thought it was a woman driving until he moved lol

Have ya'll every submarined the boat or thought of it? My dad's friend has a 22 foot jet boat and he submarines it. It is a ton of fun and gets out hella wet. Make sure you have a good bilge though.
