I get ya, the fuel thing. Would have been interesting if GM would have tried that but they probably had a bunch of L99s laying around they needed to get rid of. Changing engine types and injection type on the platform costs money and most boats already have an anchor so what to do with all those L99s? Sometimes it really does work that way.
