The latest episode of Roadkill Garage Season 5, titled "Conquering the Water with the Mopar Muscle Boat!" takes on an aquatic twist as the duo of David Freiburger and Steve Dulcich get hold of a new project: a 1968 Glastron V-174 Jetflite boat with a 6-cylinder Mopar engine. The boys decide to restore and modify the old boat to make it an absolute water-speed demon.

The episode begins with Dulcich and Freiburger explaining the intricacies of the project at hand. The fiberglass shell of the boat is in decent shape, but the engine has seen its fair share of wear and tear. However, the duo believes that they can get it back to its former glory with a little bit of tweaking.

The first step in the boat's restoration process is a complete teardown. Dulcich and Freiburger strip down the engine, identifying any parts that need to be replaced. After assessing the engine, they decide to replace the original carburetor with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, which they believe will improve its performance.

As the restoration process continues, the duo starts to work on the boat's exterior. They replace the original seats and steering wheel with new ones that give the boat a more modern look. They also install a new stereo system and a GPS to help them navigate the waters.

The episode takes a hilarious turn when the duo decides to test the boat's speed on land. They strap the boat to the back of Freiburger's 1969 Charger and take it for a spin. The results are not what they expected, as the boat topples over and comes dangerously close to crashing. However, Dulcich and Freiburger take the incident in stride, showing that they're not afraid to take risks and have a good laugh at themselves.

After the land-speed test, it's time for the moment of truth: taking the boat out on the water. Dulcich and Freiburger are excited to see how their modifications have impacted the boat's performance. Once on the water, they unleash the full power of the engine, accelerating at a breakneck pace. Throughout the ride, Dulcich and Freiburger are grinning from ear to ear, reveling in the thrill of being on the water in such a powerful boat.

Overall, "Conquering the Water with the Mopar Muscle Boat!" is a fun and entertaining episode of Roadkill Garage. Dulcich and Freiburger's antics and banter keep the show light-hearted and entertaining, while their expertise and attention to detail make the restoration process both informative and intriguing.
