Sorry, I know this is going to be really vague, and it involves C***y motors but...the guy who did the body work on my truck was working on a project boat. After doing a little searching online, I want to say it was a Baja, but I know it was a late 80's model and was powered by two turbo'd 502's. That thing was a monster.

I don't personally, but this is the old bosses rotary powered ski boat I use sometimes.
Makes about 1000ponies.

I helped him build it.

I have an Avon R310 inflatable boat with a 10 hp Honda outboard.

The boat weighs less than 100 lbs.

It screams at a whopping 20 mph.
