I was there and it was not a chopper 😉

Never fast enough. But almost 40 years old, so not bad :)

93.3 mph

81 knots

With offshore midsection 💪🏻

“Pleasure boat”…..

Beam approx 5,5 feet and dead rise 24 degrees. No steps

No, Mercs sounds horrible!

I will never forget seeing Arneson the man run here in the delta in Northern California, the first time I heard turbines in a boat!

@@Lilou34650You’re on crack if you seriously think that. That’s how I know you’ve never been on one of these boats, the turbo whistle from the 1350’s is ear-piercing and is the best sounding engine I’ve ever heard. It’s pure ecstasy

@@Article_170 bullshit

I think you mean the 6 boat from Lucas oil V shape. That's a v8 baby great sound.

You need some ears. V12 sounds amazing. Don't let that fact spoil your fantasy though. P.s. How's your pms?

@@skylined5534 V12 Lambo is a farmer engine. Nothing Lambo produces is even given a shit about 5 years later.

Bullshit!

​@signoresantinoburnett1169 you have NO idea wtf you're talking about. lambo motors have been dominating motorsports for years. Just look up "underground racing" lambos putting down 2500hp at all 4 wheels and going over 250 in the standing mile. "Tractor motors" crap is boomer talk.

Nah, bollocks to that pushrod truck engine junk, the quad cam V12 is perfection.

@@richardharrold9736 push rod truck engine junk that makes 1550hp all day everyday.

@@BobSmith-cb5xr not for long it doesn't, and it needs forced induction to do it. The big Lamborghini V12s in full race spec could make 1300 N/A or considerably more than 1550 supercharged. You might have noticed in this video that the Lamborghini boat won easily.

@@richardharrold9736 Not for long it doesnt? Haha what? Of course the Lamborghini won, 1550s arent even in the same class.

@@BobSmith-cb5xr if you try to get 150bhp/litre from a pushrod V8, there are only two ways of doing that. High RPM, which pushrods don't like, and/or huge amounts of boost, which will blow the poor quality cast iron block apart after a few minutes at WOT. There is a reason why Mercury Marine felt they had taken the big block V8 as far as they could at about 1100bhp and developed their own DOHC V8s to replace them. One of them is big block sized, a 9-litre making up to 1750bhp, the smaller one uses a stock LS7 short block (apart from the pistons, which had to be changed to provide valve reliefs for the 4-valve heads) and immediately made 50% more power all over the rev range. The superiority of DOHC 4-valve-per-cylinder heads and combustion chambers cannot be denied.

Yep, easily looking at a couple of grand(if not more?).

Somehow I think he doesn't worry about fuel prices.

this is bullshit, Riva Aquarama Lamborghini is the boat. Twin V12
