Kevin Klosterman and Vintage Miss Desoto - Celina 2011 ! 

wow, very cool. so glad you guys were able to find and restore this awesome piece of machinery. I was lucky enough to have had one of these wonderful hulls, well my dad had it, lol. he was racing in the 225 class in region 9 (wa, ore, id) in the early 80's when he heard of a group of guys who had a brand new Lauterbach (built by Larry if I recall correctly specifically for the 225 class now 4 litre mod.) hull and were having a hell of a time getting it to plane with a ford 221ci engine. they were wanting out of the project so my dad bought it and put a much lighter 215ci buick in it. man was that thing fast in a straight line :) but it would not corner for anything. Jerry Tortorice drove it a couple of times to get used to it at a couple of the early season races and then for the first time in competition in Poulson Mt for the regionals, in'82 or '83 I think, and won it's first ever heat in competition. second heat he went into turn one with the lead and barrel rolled it and was hurt pretty badly. dad never put it the water again and eventually sold it to help him buy the unlimited hull he ran as the oh boy oberto for two seasons. have fun with that beast and maybe i'll get lucky enough to see it run some time.

my dad was delivering fryers to the owner of Miss Such Crust on Gun lake , the owner liked to entertain with chicken barbecues - the Hydro mechanic said he heard dad had a little hydro, well, could he run Miss Such crust around so the mechanic could hear it from shore? yes i can - mid to late 40s-

2minutes of a 3 minute video trying to start it and then the last minute looking at the back sides of spectators. 👎

Nothing like the sound of a Hemi...............

Where's the beef?

that motor don't run right or start right=crap mechanic

I saw this boat race on the kanawha river in the sixties many times along with the Chrysler queen

151,2 mph, not 1512. But still pretty fast for an old Hemi power engine. Probably a 392.

Beautiful, I want one, what about price?

Where was this shot .?

Push start it!

How much horsepower does it have

Video way too short.

1512 mph record is hard to beat

GD remember when Sex was safe and Raceboats were Dangerous?

i just learned of the DeSoto Hemi

My dad built the Desoto in Z-Z-ZIP ... Joe Guess Hull.....
