First Fire! Insane 711ci Twin Turbo Hemi Jet Boat is Alive

After nearly six years of construction, my 19-foot long Placecraft jet boat is ready to rip the water. In this video we finish fabricating, wiring and plumbing the 711 cubic inch Sonny Leonard Racing Engines twin-turbo Hemi and it roars to life. We also drop this brand new boat into the water to see if it's floats. This video also gives you tips on building battery cables, fabricating aluminum parts and how I used compressed Co2 aka Carbon Dioxide to control the Precision turbocharger wastegates as well as the shifter and Place Diverter adjustable jet drive nozzle. As much as I'd like to make a fast pass in Game Over there is still a lot of tuning to do before this boat is safe. The engine has not been Dyno-tuned and we'll likely do that ourselves by driving the boat and making changes as we go. That takes time so bear with us as we take baby steps towards finishing this insane pleasure boat project.
