These guys are nuts. This starts with packing the truck full, and then unbolting the bed to lift it, so they can fabricate a tow hitch to tow the boat... Oh, did I mention they only have the one engine to drive the truck to the lake, towing the boat, and run the boat once they get there?

They're batshit crazy, but there's a little Hollywood in those shows as well, as in special effects! :yesnod:

Anyone who builds or owns boat motors knows there's a lot more to a nautical motor than what they show. The insides are made so they can run at all different angles that you'd encounter on a boat. That LS would grenade if they left it in for any length of time. :yesnod:

Fun for a few hours though. :cool:

:yesnod: I believe the cam lobes are different as well, for boat motors, as they hold higher rev's for longer periods of time.

Anyone ever remove a bed from and old Chevy? :island14:

They must have tack welded the bolt heads or had the nutts off already because those bolts usually end up spinning once they get a little loose, and you need someone on top with channel locks or vise grips to hold them on the top.
