        I would love to throw 1 of these in a boat and cruise the lake but the problem a friend of mine saw was this. It doesnt have a cooling system thats probably why i cant find one other than the V6 that has a cooling system. Conley sells a V8 with what apears to be a cooling system but at only 6hp for a 20pound engine and for $5000-$6000 no ill pass. I would rather get a V6 with 16hp coming in around 6 pounds and $1000 less sounds more logical. Maybe put it in a HUGE custom cat with 2 V6's in the sponsons Now that would be a AWSOME BOAT.

          The V8 has a cooling system when the camera pans to the rear of it you can see the cooling fans and radiator he also has pics of cooling system on his site.

                GOT ANT VIDEOS OFF UM? Jeepers do you know if he milled it from a block of metal or did he cast it? If he milled it unless he cut out around the cylinders it can only be cooled for so long. After that it will melt the pistons to the block.
