I am looking for info on this boat. I don't know if it is a good one or not. It has a Ford 460 jet powered. The engine is bad and i don't know if i can just put in a rebuild auto engine in it or if it has to be a marine engine. Please Help

There is only one realistic answer to this...
100% Marine Engine is the only way to go if you want it to last.

You also could have you're engine rebuilt by a marine rebuilder or reputable machine shop.This way you can get the exact engine you want as far as tourqe and horse power.Witch all depends on wich impeller you are running.HP and Tourqe = speed. How fast do you want to go? Just my two cents. I've played with a-lot of jet boats. They are a blast.
