Lexus v8 powered boat!

[kneedownnate]

In australia ofcourse    Toyota did make boats for a few years and I'll jizz myself if I ever get one, but this boat is just frickin neat!  Whoever buys it and finishes the install will      with a 300hp 13 foot boat!

There is a whole forum dedicated to the Toyota/Lexus v8.   www.lextreme.com.

It has a section on boats and believe it or not, aviation.  Yes, Toyota had the motor certified by the FAA for aviation use.

I think the main reason for the popularity of these engines in Australia and New Zealand is that us stupid americans can't see v8 power beyond the big 3 automakers.   Also, parts availability in those countries force them to use something reliable like diesels and Toyota engines.
