the other day got me looking. When I was young my neighbors had a boat
that I was told was a very limited edition. IIRC it was 17 1/2 feet
long, and green. It had a walk through bow with two half cone (batmobile
type) windscreens in front of the seats. The cockpit was very elaborate,
like a jet airliner. The boat had fins on the back like a Batmobile too,
the bat was deliberately and shamelessly designed after the Batmobile..
but the main event was the dual blown Chrysler 454's that ran the
sucker... We used to go waterskiing behind it at like 1/4 throttle

Anyway, I am going crazy trying to find more info on this boat to see
how close my recollection of it is.. The boat would have been new around
probably 1970 or so... Has anybody here heard of one of these, any info
available, trying to find out who made them, a picture or something to
tell me it wasn't only a dream? Thanks, LOL!

two heavily armed 454's in a 17' boat? was it prop or jet drive?

Did chrysler make a 454?

There is a possibility they were not... I remember the kids saying they
were, can't say for sure I remember the dad saying it but I think so I
would have picked up on it if they weren't, I spend enough time with
them and the boat was always a topic of conversation, even at the
lake... But who knows, they could have been bs'ing me. I wouldn't know a
454 from a 350 bck then anyway... But there were two engines, that much
is definite. It was a straight up go fast... just a short one.
