Default stepping away from trucks...twin vipers

Hey everybody. Yesterday i went to the spokane boat show and came across some pretty impressive boats. The most impressive ones were old wooden boats that were equipped with a supercharged V8 (forget what engine) that was putting out 900+ horse with speeds of 85+ and it was roughly 30ft long. Next to it was a smaller version (maybe around 20-25ft) of that same boat and it had an LS7 corvette in it pushing 500 some horse. Man i would love to see and hear those on the water. But the next boat i looked at really caught my eye. It was around 20-27ft long (can't remember the exact length), it was a Nordic speedboat and it was equipped with Twin Viper Engines. Each of those was putting out 550 horse...yes thats 1100 horse total! I have a picture of all these impressive engines including twin 383's in a boat that costed $800,000. If you want to see them let me know. I;ll try to put up the viper ones now.

ya i've never seen a chrysler engine in a boat before and when i saw this twin viper engine boat i was lost for words. the ones that were showing boat said that the cost to convert the engines to marine is more than the engines are worth themselves. I'd hate to pay the fuel bill for that...every hour haha.
