I wouldn't bet against a slug going through just about any boat.
USCG uses 12 ga rifled slugs to disable fleeing outboards, shooting
directly at the blocks.
A rifled slug is something different. But you'd still have to be
close because of opposing wind resistance. It would do some damage to
the engine controls, injectors, carbs - whatever sit's on it, but I
doubt the slug will go through or penetrate the block enough to stop
it. In particular if the boat is moving at a fairly good clip.
So, what kind of motor is this that would stand up to a 12 ga. slug? I want
one.
