Re: LT-5 Marine engines
Few years ago, there was an LT5 Ski Nautique for sale around here - think it was Kristi Overton's...

Re: LT-5 Marine engines
Yep,
There are several in a small town on OK. When you drive through town you can see them in the window of one of the buildings on the main street...

Re: LT-5 Marine engines
How many Nautique ski boats got an LT5?
Mercury Marine didn't use the LT5, did they? |

Re: LT-5 Marine engines
Here are a couple of pictures. I believe these are the only LT5's that Mercury ever built for marine applications.....and the black engine is for display only.
BUILT FOR DISPLAY ONLY  THE ORIGINAL & ONLY ENGINE FOR THE WETTE VETTE SHOW BOAT

Mercury was under contract to build LT5's for GM/Chevrolet. They did not have license to produce or sell LT5 engines for any other purpose. When LT5 production ceased for the ZR-1 Corvette, Mercury was allowed by GM to pursue other potential markets for the LT5, one of which was Bentley. Test engines were built for Bentley testing with different cams and ignition system. Ultimately, no aftermarket customers for the LT5 were ever developed. Another thread about the same subject. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-z...tte-vette.html
