For Mopar fans, here is the answer. For only $36,000.00 you could have this motor in your boat.
I read recently that Ilmor installed two of these V-10's into a 32 ft. Skater w/Merc #6 drives and it ran about 120mph. Ilmor is located in Plymouth MI and partially owned by Daimler Chrysler. But the motors are available to the public now.

I saw a little something in the paper the other day about that V10 viper motor. Their putting in a motorcycle. It will sell for $550K and go 300 MPH!
They already have orders for 9 of them to be made.

My cousin is a race mechanic for a Viper Racing Team out of Duluth. He was down last year and I rode over with him to Saleen (I think it was Saleen) where he picked up a new Viper to take back (we loaded it into an enclosed car hauler). It was pretty interesting to see all the things they do. He might know the answers to any questions anyone might have on the motors. Let me know and I will forward them on to him. He has worked for this company for quite a while now.

"Hey that boat got a HEMI?"

There was an article about the V10 in last months (december) of Boating Magazine. As Convincor posted, not too much in common with the Viper version. The article said that these 1st engines have been conservatively 'marinized' for reliability, and given development time, they will eventually produce almost twice the HP and torque than they do now!!

As a side note, Ilmor designs and builds the Mercedes V10 used by the McLaren F1 race team. They also have extensive experience building motors for CART race teams.
Pantera Racing had one of the v-10 in a 28 ft last year also
