I don't see a propulsion system on that Corvette boat. I wonder if it is a jet pump, V-drive, or an outdrive?
I would like to know where they got the water cooled exhaust manifolds for that LS engine. I have an LS1 just waiting for manifolds to put in a boat.

It just amazes me at all of the Corvette styling features that this boat has, from the dash to the tail lights. It is a work of Art.

i always thought an ls1 engine would work great in a boat, couldnt be too hard to make a custom set of headers, locally(for me) madman&co racing could do them easily

Been running an LS in mine for awhile..

LS engines are awesome! Light weight and great power.

Off the shelf water jacketed aluminum manifolds are available...

I would like a list of sources for the water cooled exhaust manifolds that can be used on the LS1 series GM engine. I am most interested in the type for underhood installation with an exit thru the transom.

[wca_tim]

what about fuel injection and electronics? or is the best reasonable option cost wise still to go with a carb?

Cost about the same to go with a carb or injection, just didn't want to deal with all the plumbing in my boat.
Here is the link for the new exhaust like the old ones I have on mine.

Been thinking of selling mine and doing another flatbottom but more for circle racing this time.

This aution has ended, but they show up on ebay for $999.

I've ordered some for a Crusader brand engine from MarinePartsSource.com, we'll have to see if I ever get them...
I also ordered the Crusader seawater pump that bolts to the front of the block.

[Faster-Boat]

I'm amazed at the prices marine parts go for. It reminds me of my Porsche parts.

[Faster-Boat]

Here is the information from the website http://www.MarinePartsSource.com
Crusader brand Model MP6.0L engine part# R028023
Manufacturer: PLEASURECRAFT
Part #: 69248
Mfg #: R028023
Description: MANIFOLD EXHAUST (6.0L)
List Price: $253.87
Your Price: $228.48

That sounds like a whole lot cheaper than the Ebay listing price. You would need two manifolds, so 2 x $253.87= $507.74

MTI has a Corvette boat as well...very cool

It's an LS364/440, GM offered it as a crate motor with the carb manifold on it, it ran another 440hp over the LS2. Still have to run an ignition module though, you can see the FAST XIM (anodized red box) on the rear panel. GM have since dis-continued the LS364 in favor of the new LS376/515, makes 515hp out of the crate!

These are all awesome boat,better then I could ever build. But I have to say I always thought my skiff was like a vette. Two seated chevy small block and the have been around longer then a vette. Again I love the eBay boat and it is way beyond but it is still a normal v bottom. One ride in a skiff and you may agree. Here is a link:
