Wait... is this a joke? Thar sound is an overlay on the clips' audio, right? Why make it sound like an F16? Bizarre. The clip right before this one has that same F16 sound. Why make a boat engine sound like a jet? Just curious, not criticizing.
You gotta love South Florida...there is so much money there...I have been on one mile stretches there that possess more wealth than all of Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach combined (where I hang my hat).
Nothing wrong with the music , it adds to the feel. Pumps you up a bit. It's gotta be hard to see at a distance properly going that fast. Effin awesome though, lol. Hey from 🇨🇦
I live in Tampa , FL . One day I was out with my camera burning film for a photography class . I had gone to a place call Davis Island . I was there trying to find interesting objects along the shoreline . Much to my surprise a boat with an unusual sound went by . It had docked at the nearby boat ramp . It was about a 22 foot low profile catamaran speed boat with a small turbine engine . Even more surprising was the gentleman behind the wheel . It was Bernie Little ! Famed owner of the Miss Budweiser hydroplane out of Lakeland , Florida . He had a crew of his boat mechanics (2)and his helicopter pilot . He was out in the bay doing a test run, and I happened to catch them coming back in . I ran back to my car and followed them to the small airfield that was nearby . The mechanics had the boat on a trailer and I must have worn a ring around it, checking it out . After a few pics and a couple of polite words to Mr. Little , he and his pilot flew back to Lakeland . This was back in the late 70's early 80s . Turbine engines were gaining popularity back then . A little fun fact about the Tampa area . Up until about 1973 . The hydroplane boat races would race on the bay by Courtney Campbell Causeway . On the southeast side of the Causeway was a small cove . They would use a crane and put in and haul the boats out of the water . After racing here , they would go down to Miami . Unfortunately Tampa was cut from the list of races , as were others . Time marches on .
My grandfather used to race speed boats on the Ohio River way back when. I know he's looking down at this with a big grin on his face wishing he could take the wheel.
