well the v8's have the low down torque to pull the skiers up out the water.

How much horsepower does a turbo help produce? How much does it produce when it's pumping water instead of air?

True, Jets are hopeless for pulling skiers anyway, they're like driving with a slipping clutch when trying to pull a fat skier out of the water. Unless there's a heat exchanger cooling system that EJ would last about one season in salt water.

How would that be any different to anything else people put in fast powerboats without a heat exchanger setup.

Thats a good idea for a setup but wouldnt there be TURBO LAG? would work well for fishing or a cruise but definatly not good for Skiing. They forgot the 6 speed box, Momo steering wheel & Recaro Bucket seats
