Still took a chance, I've done that with M151's in the service during joint exercises with the navy and usmc, difference is that ours had exhaust snorkels as well as intakes. Without the exhaust the water has a tendency to get sucked back in thru the exhaust system as the you change engine revs...
It is alot of fun though, in our case you had to jude the waves right or they would break across your back and head...

Can you imagine the thermal shock to the engine. Talk about cracking exhaust manifolds.
