Jef de Jong over on FB Classic Offshore boat restoration found this little gem. 13' 1000 hp twin turbo 302 92 mph Yes it is a death trap but still a cool little hot rod.

Finally another small block Ford guy, turbo no less!!!
Yes the mph seems low for the hp. Personally I doubt it is making 1000hp, but he didn't say much about the engine except for 4 bolt mains. I'm not familiar with jet drives, but I don't think they are fast for the hp??

I watched the video as it was posted on the Tube. Very cool little rocket to blast around in in relatively calm water. No 1000 hp there. As someone posted above probably 600 to 700 hp. I would love to blast around in it.

Re: "propped wrong" in a jet - impellers can be swapped out depending on the pump - same idea as aftermarket impellers and ring for a stock PWC (more volume/ rpm = more push)
