Big Crazy Boat Engines Starting Up and Sound 

I was still waiting for the footage of the thumbnail boat with the two Merline 12 cylinder engines.

Holy crap this video just made me cry I have no words to say God bless America

That third one was awesome just a look of that Hilborn injection system on top was just awesome to see. I can remember watching the early 1Cam Am cars out in Midland Texas on the test track and you could see those big injectors sticking out of the bodywork. Very cool.

I raced boats back in the early 90s and I can say I've had some pretty awesome engines over the yrs. Fastest I've ever been on the water is 198 MPH. never could hit the even 200MPH sadly. I wasn't sponsored so alot of it came out of my own pocket start out. Luckily I started getting sponsors help but by then I had already decided to get out of the sport and ended up getting into (of all things) tractor pulling. Haha. Turns out tractor pulling was awesome. You're literally riding a bomb so to speak. I still have my boat and take it out from time to time to open it up down the lake. I have a 429 boss motor in it btw... for those that don't know...feels so much faster when on the water because of you being closer to the surface than in a car. Adrenalin sky rockets...haha

Maybe we should make sure the engines start easily before filming. I love the sounds of these bad boys! 😀

I had a Rayson Craft 19’ jet with 454 GM. Was great fun. The footage of the “ Jetavator” trim control Berkley offered was sweet. Was great for washing deck chairs off of docks 😂. Not that that ever happened.

man that's crazy. i love it.

Love that sound!😍😍

There was a boat with a 6.2 diesel I saw on RU-vid once, thing sounded so good

Love to see the Aussie boys reppin'... with the VB!!!

listening to thos engine idling was so soothing

Love that sound!!!!

Whoever put the comments on the video knows nothing about boats...

Wow, muy buenos arranques hermano

I could listen to this all day

Pretty awesome compilation! That first boat though sounded as if it had som trouble with the lifters. Sounded exactly like the start-up of a GTO mk 3 "the judge". I was lucky enough to capture. That's something you don't get to see too often here in Sweden unless you're a regular visitor of cruises. The owner explained it all to me, after he was able to stop lauging at my reaction from the exhaust being re-egnited (scared shittles, lol! 😂)

it's literally gotta feel like a frickin rollercoaster when these massive engine powered speed boats go lol.

Those engines idling is music to my ears.

Man ! that 2nd one with the tunnel ram Did that thing kick up a Rooster tail ! Geeez Lolol

Gonna fix one of those for spring on the Spree and Havel around BERLIN. They’ll love it.😜

Beautiful noises

I used to have a 19' Hondo flat bottom with a 392 blown Chrysler hemi wish I still had it

Love the Sanger, it's CF number is so close to my 76 Avenger, CF 2294 FX!

The fish must love the sound of these boats ripping by.

Love all the lifejackets.

it NEVER gets old :)

Love it ... second boat. If the butterfly valves are truly representative of throttle position .....barely half throttle. Cool.

Watchin' and smilin' like the cheshire cat.

No disputing these are badass'd boats. But my 1986 STV Pro Comp with a merc 2.5 carb'd V6 will smoke everyone of them. 142mph 1000ft.

Total respect .,

Man these guys sure like to run cams with low LSA, running those cams on anything other than full race engines is a pain in the butt.

I too was anxious to hear the double-V10 boat.What the heck?The rest was good though.😎👍✌🇨🇦

Its getting closer to the ice being off the lakes in our area then it will be time to get the boat out and all the lifts and dock. The water was so low last year I couldnt get the lift out for my Donzi its a 22.5 ft with a blown 502 bored .30 over and a good set of heads, its sure NOT a 198 MPH boat (thank God) but it will run in the mid 80s which plenty fast enough for me!

Good old days . Awesome 🤫🗿

They run nice, with an amazing sound!.👍.. Getting them to start, is the problem

The red and white jet boat at 5:15 has a Ford FE engine. They have a distinctive sound and you can confirm it when you get a good look at the intake, the distributor goes through the front portion of the intake.

Was für eine Power Klasse

Imagine hitting a sand bar at those speeds

Great video!😍

Onlooker : Is there Really need for 1500 horsepower in a boat? Owner : yes , Cause Murica !

The two happiest days in a boat owners life....the day he buys it...and the day he SELLS IT....

this was a total bait and switch as Phillip noted, I was still waiting for the footage of the thumbnail boat with the two Merline 12 cylinder engines.

I would want a back rest, I’d reckon those pipes are quite warm

Bait and swish...😮

Awesome 👏😎

Love watching these vids, just wish I had the extra cash time and know how to built one of these 🤣

Nice lake skates.

Fair enough not bad at all 😎🇺🇸✌🏽

Lost an acquaintance this way. RIP Mark Linton

Well thanks guys u just saved me 8 minutes

1 min in: BRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! This is America

I remember my first VB

If you made this much noise in my neighbor Hood the neighbors would call the cops.😆

That one at 5:14 sounds like the Salvation Army bloke rattling the charity tin. How's the bloke at 6:14 with a tin of VB

Es gibt immer mehr Verrückte auf dieser Welt !

The second racing boat has two V8 like in the McLaren M8 Canam... 😱👍‼️💯🔥🛢️🏁🏎️🤓🇨🇵

GOOD DISTORTION ! ! !

Yeah, I was waiting to see the double V-10 boat. But if you're gonna have a boat yer gonna need a good Chevy boat anchor. Ouch.

Little boys with their little toys.

In the Thumbnail, looks like 2 Allisons or 2 RR Merlins!!! I believe that the old Navy PT Boats had 2 or 3 Allison V12s!

wow super -car- boat...

excellent

From the opening pic..... you'd think you'd see a variety of engines........ this video ain't so bad if you love bowties......nothing but bowties...... and more bowties......

Ugh....I hate clickbait. No Allisons....all BBCs and 1 LS.

I used to own a Chevy jet boat many years ago! Very fast!!!! I really enjoyed the boat, but the maintenance and upkeep costs were astronomical, so I had to dump it!

Love the video

Humanity once asked how fast do you want to go way back then Our aswer today is All of it

Try some Easy Start by Bradex. It'll start anything. And no, it won't kill your engine unless you do crazy things with it.

for this ride, you comes lifelong into jail cell here in germany ^^

Good afternoon to all from SE Louisiana 3 Jun 22.

2nd boat with the tunnel ram and fake injector hat...I went to a dyno day one time with a buddies boat motor, and the guy running the dyno told him to take that crap off the top of the carb, as it was messing with the tuning.

So. Cool.☄️🎯

Ummm, where was the Gar Wood Miss America with twin Liberty engines? It was pictured on the advert for the vid.

That guy stepping on the headers... augh

Hehe... they’re not going to get my favorite fishin spot this time.

Would love to have seen and heard a BBF as all BBC sound the same .

Back in those days shaky cam was the thing

2:16 GAWD DAMN!!!! 😳😳

2:00 nasty flamin backfires are great

Damn, the first guy desperately needs to adjust his timing…

This should be called 'Let's see how far back we can crank the distributors to take out as much ignition timing as possible and still get the thing to fire'. I don't know what it is about people with headers on their boats, but almost all of them insist on making the thing as loud and pig rich as possible to the point that it'll barely run and idle without a fight. Just so they can idle around the lake showing off what a monster they have, then wonder why it sucks so much gasoline.

You probably could puta 300 hp Merc outboard on a good tunnel hull and outrun these things.

I wanna see a small center console boat twin turboed

Fires right up. How'bout that! 😃

Unbelievable

0:52 Damn I know someone with those headers. Apparently 4k a piece new. 8k for the set. Expensive freaking hobby

2:07 pipe music

Trust me boys, 1 minute 50, baot got some nasty twins on board.

@5:15 what the hell is that? Get that damn jalopy out of this compilation 😂

I love these dudes without ear protection…what did you say?

Where are you from people ? :)

If they start

I am way ahead with my 90hp Yamaha, when these guys get their engines started.

This is what I fall asleep to

All friends of the service-station keeper, I suppose.

My first thought is this: It's only impressive if it will start.

ロータリーエンジン搭載のボートは？ 無いのですか？

Wish I had just half of their money....

I've been back there with a Big Block , ain't no fun 🤔

All flash and no dash. These jet drive gas guzzlers were obsolete 25 years ago. All fun & games with the loud pipes and rooster tail until grandpa & his Kingfisher with a 150 Evinrude smokes you down on the top end.
