You're welcome to have a beer with me mate! *I'm 2% less pompous, same engine background, plus I have some great stories when I used to DJ EDM in the Malibu party scene.* Lol 🤣
I know, I'm not the only father here that orders merch for his son, everytime someone's engine blows up. Hoping, he could get an engine part. My 16 year old gear head, loves S.M. and Cleetus Mcfarland!
What a great connection to have with your son. Especially at 16yrs old, and in this day and time. They are t h e future of racing, I hope it never dies. Good luck, Dad. What cool thing to want for him.
it was a hard weekend for this team... They had problem starting the engine and sadly, the boat caught in fire. Not a total loss but it sure ended their weekend.
And IDC what anyone says, you got a big GM/Detroit style blower, you just leave that surge alone, personally, that's half the fun, regardless if you're surging through a stop light or into a dock 😅
That’s a beautiful ship. And a not too shabby power plant either! 😝 That was fun! Can’t wait to see it in the water screaming its guts out. 👍 Thank you Steve and All 🙏
Used to run a Mori Seiki CNC machine at BowTech. Think the boss said 2 million dollars for that 5 axis CNC machine back in the 2010 era. Could auto load tombstones from racks and had a huge tool changer. Love this stuff.
I grew up in Detroit and worked on the Island getting to see the races and got to walk the pits here probably 15 time its amazing how fast they are. The bigger one are full NASCAR style teams
27 years ago i hung out with a guy who raced hydroplanes. I got to pit for him a few times. Interesting sport. He ran a 468 NA engine in his class. ( 1 class below unlimited). He later drove for someone else in the unlimited class. So dangerous "flying" on water.
I have to say I really enjoyed this. thank you so much for taking us along. I hope they have the best of luck with it hopefully we get to see it in the water one day
It has been a (quite a) few years since I was around limited hydros (in Buffalo). Dad raced them from the 1930's through the 1950's. When ever there was a race, the whole family was there, Dad, Mpm, and my sisters. Always had a blast! Steve, you will get hooked on hydroplane racing. 🙂 Oh and the tories about Valley Field.....
YEP I GREW UP IN SEATTLE,WATCHED HYDROS ON LAKE WASHINGTON FROM THE NAVY BASE MY DAD WAS STATIONED AT IN THE TRANSPORTATION DEPT. THERE,HE DIRECTED THE OFF LOADING/LOADING THE HYDROS USING THE BASE CRANE..MISS BARDAHL,BILL MUNCIE…THE SOUNDS,20’ ROOSTER TAILS…I WAS ONLY 5 THAN BUT THAT MADE ME THE GEAR HEAD I BECAME… 71 NOW.THANKS DAD,GOD BLESS YOU CHIEF🫡🚤🌊⚡️⚡️⚡️💥
Your face was priceless every time you said you would drive it! Do your studying because we'd love nothing more than a cockpit video of you... Driving it! Great video Steve and some good solid diagnostics also! 🏁👍👏🇺🇸
Boat stands for “Bust Out Another Thousand” although in Hydroplane racing Boat should be spelled with two T’s “BOATT so it can stand for “Bust Out Another Ten Thousand”😂🤣😅😁
Holy cow that's the most massive CNC I've ever seen! Would be drooling over it in person 😂 Hope to see you take this thing for a rip! These boats absolutely rip
Worked on UL=15 Hopp racing in the Late 98 to 2004 and the Ul 15 Hopps old boat With Paul Becker and won Seafair The Pinnacle of Boat racing Love us Boats Somebody needs to Call Gregg He is a top notch driver Hands Down, My two Cents!!!!!
I was just at Lake Guntersville for hydrofest. These and the H1 unlimited are insane to watch. You should see the old ones that run a twin turbo Allison V12. Sounds like WWII.
Very beautiful boat. Thank you Steve Sir for bringing us along and thank you to them for letting you. Cant beat a SME built Engine. It sounds so beautiful
Your excitement made your episode!! To see your knowledge brought me back in time to my grandpa. With a burp/kick of a motor. Diagnoses was done. Your awesome & thank you for your episode/time. 👍👍
that plastic bushing for propellershaft. I wouldnt say its mostly for cooling. Its using water as a bearing between the steel shaft and plastic "bearing". ... like a mechanical seal
Stay outta the boat Steve. Water at the speed that thing goes is just as hard as the concrete walls you've hit in the past. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Congrats to the winners of the Cleat stuff ! Could have saved you some shipping $ Steve and just had a Michigan guy pick up one of those boxes from say 2 hours away 😊 Thanks for taking us along this was cool as usual ! Have a great day all !
Raced dragbikes, the purist form I know, and will say that boat is total horsepower porn. 160 mph bike no problem but those boats are another level of racing on the edge.
Thank you so much showing off the boat the Hemi went in. I was wondering if we would get to see it. I would love to see it in the water making a pass. Thanks again Steve.
Boat racing is something else man, these big boys scare the shit out of me but the APBA title series classes are a riot. Same hydroplanes & runabouts but much smaller engines. Methanol 2 strokes that still run 100+ on the water. Nationals in Illinois at the end of the month, worth checking out.
I program, set up, and run some 7 and 9 axis machines along with your regular 3, 4, and 5 axis. But it's amazing at what you can do with a 7 and 9 axis mill. I do a lot of aerospace and military / government work like submarine missile housings, rockets of all types, and LOTS of stuff that goes to Area 51.
Thanks for posting this video. I've been a fan of GP racing for a long time. Now that I know they have Steve Morris power I'll be watching this weekend.👍
