The sound of that big block Chevy gives me wood.

It does sound fantastic! Apparently it's a turbo diesel, thinking a V-8 configuration by the sound. 

"Equipped as shown with a 270-HP turbo diesel with 575-Ft.-Lbs of torque and Metal Shark’s military-exclusive Swamp Shark surface drive, the 21 Riverine reaches 50-knot top speeds while offering shallow-water, swamp, and mud-flat capabilities unmatched by any other propulsion system. The 21 Riverine can safely drive across logs or other solid obstructions at a high rate of speed, and thanks to its closed cooling system with no appendages, the vessel will never suffer from overheating due to clogged intakes. Swamp Shark is the most durable and innovative shallow-water propulsion system on the market today, and it’s only available to military and government users through Metal Shark."

Fine then.  Don't go looking for us lowly civilians to help bail you out when you go broke.

I bet the one with the LS3 small block moves along just fine too.

Ha ha, I know right! Not even sure why they would publicize that?

In that small of a craft I have no doubts it would boogie!
