I used to take care of a 19" Chris-Craft with a 450HP 454 Chevy engine and
a Berkley jet. After a few years use it poked a connecting rod through the
block. Guardian Marine, the company that built the engine, said that we did
well by getting 120 hours use out of the engine. It was cool while it
lasted, we got 7 skiers up at one time. It would do 0-60 MPH in about 50
feet.
