When you blow up an LS engine in a boat for one show, like Roadkill, then the logical thing to do is to take that boat and remove the broken LS so you can replace it with another one. Of course when you have to remove the previous LS with a shop vac and a garden hose, it means you were making all the power right up until you weren’t. Ouch. Luckily, Mike and Dave are pretty creative fellows and so they put their thinking caps on and came up with a plan. As usual though with these two, there is more to the story.

Here’s Mike’s description from the video.

This is my Cousin Randy’s 1976 Rogers Bonnevill TR jet boat. You may have seen in on an episode of Roadkill where Freiburger and I towed it to Lake Elsinore, California, then swapped the engine out of a Square Body Chevy and put it into the jet boat. We went boating for a few hours and then took the engine out of the boat, put it back into the truck, then towed the boat back home. The boat sat around for nearly 8 years until recently, when it was used for another episode of Roadkill. Roadkill wasnt too kind to the boat and so it came back to Georgia with a dead engine. In this episode we clean up the mess and swap in a new-to-us LS engine that we robbed from Newbern’s Attempted Murder Nova, which he has also sold. As usual, things didnt go as planned but we still had fun and got this boat running again. Briefly. lol
