Boat with C4 engine in it...
Was browsing the latest "Corvette" Craigslist ads in my area and came across this:
http://fresno.craigslist.org/boa/1683779179.html
Looks like an LT1 or possibly an LT4. Looks like a pretty clean installation or maybe it's some kind of special "Corvette" edition boat. Would be cool to have.

Indmar Engines
Indmar Engines. Look them up on the internet. All their engines are in MasterCraft Boats, Malibu Boats, Supra & Moomba Boats as well.
During the late 80's and 90's, almost all ski/wake board boats had the LT1 engine in them. Mastercraft, Malibu, Supra, Moomba...
Malibu even had the LS7(ZO6) in their last rendition of their Corvette Boat.

I posted info already in another post responding to someone else, and I see someone above you is aware also. You are right it is not necessarily a boat motor because mercury had a hand in them, but they were put in some performance boats too. I posted a vid and a web link to a book on them.(wet vette)

I dont think its the same motor you would find in your vet maybe very very similar but boat motors are made to run at very high rpms for a long time with no transmission. how long would your LT1 run for at 5500 rpm for hours with out a rest?
