Wow, let me see if I understand... If I install some Motion valve covers and put a Motion decal (have) on my breather, my Vette's value will go thru the roof!?!

Yeah, laugh-able under most circumstances.
... but I want to know if Motion produced any boats for real.
... or is this just a motor swap ?
... or just a sticker swap ?
Has anyone read about this in the alledged HotRod magazine ?
ps ... worth a bit more than my 20 footer with a 4cyl Ford, but not $140k more.

Supposedly Joel Rosen built three of these boats. This one is supposed to be authenticated by him and the sole survivor of the three.

Quit laughing and call your banker. This is the real deal and could be cheap when sold at BJ a few years from now.

454 L-88??? That's would be an LS-7!!! From the intake, it looks like an oval port... LS-7's were rectangular. Things don't add up! Probably a scam...
