I do know that the "B" series engine was used in Healey Sports boats.
It was the MGA 1500 engine. And it had marine manifolds.
I also know that there was a Healey Sprite boat, but I do not know what engine
was used on it. It was smaller and fiberglass.
I wanted to drop a 1275 in a Boston Whaler when I was much younger.
Complete with 4 speed coupled to a prop shaft. Radiator cooled too.
But like I said, I was much younger and didn't know a clutch and gearbox would
not work well on a boat.
Can you incorporate a radiator in the boat's design?
Good luck, and take me water skiing when it's finished.
