Check this out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mZpOfZG15YU.html Fast fwd 4min. Only some 60knots, because superchargers not in use. There are more to see, do a search: ru-vid.com?search_query=sverige+s-1
My experience is that compression ratio makes the biggest difference in exhaust noise and that engine seems to have relatively mild compression compared to engines I have worked on (12:5:1 with a supercharger)
What a beautiful piece of art. The sound of those engines was something else. Would have liked to have seen a higher speed run but I’m guessing there are limitations on the river.👍👍
Beautiful boat. Gives me goose bumps listening to it run. That’s 100 mph boat no doubt. Wonder if the original builder put a little seat in front of the big on to put his balls in. It would take a big pair to let this beast feast.
Love boats especially those old wooden speed boats. I only wish they had a go pro so you could get the feel of close 2 a 100 yr boat with V12 ? At least and probably cruisers right along at 80+
With all the big bucks invested in boat you would thing they would hire pro video crew with appropriate camera, sound and editing equipment. Then actually plan the boat's shakedown reveal at proper venue to showcase their hard work online.

Beautifully built boat.. Great RR Meteor V12 engines, but you wasted half the video- clip showing it being launched.. onto a river with probably a 10 kmh speed restriction..[to prevent river-bank erosion] PLEASE re-launch it into a decent lake and open up those engines.. Let us hear them on full song! This video was a disappointment to me for those reasons only..
They are straight six Detroit diesel engines I used to work on these .they are flat out a very powerful engine them old Merlin engines wouldn't get this hull on the plane. I hope this helps you
