There's a write-up about Finnegan's new engine in last month's Engine Builder magazine. It's a 5.000" bore space Brodix block with a 4.700 bore and " big" stroke, topped with Sonny Leonard hemi heads and displacing 711 CI. Leonard's shop assembled the engine and dynoed it, naturally aspirated on pump gas.

It made 1,275 HP.

With the two big turbos and intercooler, Mike says he expects it to make 2,000 HP. The Peterson hull weighs 420 lbs.

I suspect this jet bote will indeed go 100 MPH.

That looks fast enough for a 3 Axle trailer! 😆

he’s got a bagged polished stainless steel dolly trailer.

at some point do you think you’ll run it on more than gate pressure? Is there an impeller that will support that much power?
