Torpedo boats with massive turbo engines. Built in the 40s and 50s and restored to original. 

That turbo sound gave me goosebumps!

Loved the video, especially the side by side. The sound, the speed, on plane so solid and smooth, beautiful. I was a Sea Scout when I was a teenager. We had a PT hull remolded for a Scout boat. She was the Tiger Shark, out of Richmond, California on the San Francisco Bay. It had twin 671 diesels. It wouldn’t do 50 knots, but it would still haul ass! Weekend cruises up the Sacramento and all the sloughs. Summer cruises were down to Santa Cruz. Some of the most fun and best memories.

Plywood boats with huge turbocharged diesels shooting torpedoes. What guy wouldn’t love that!

I drive an 18 wheeler and I have always loved the sound of the turbo on diesels, I'll alway roll my passenger window down alit bit and fuel on the engine and listen to the turbo spin up, I never get enough lol, these are sweet sounding to the soul.

WOW .... what a beautiful sight .... that sound .. that bring tears to this old sea dogs eyes ... salute from NZ .. amazing ...., 👍👍👍 ....

about 20+ yrs ago I had the good fortune to take a trip on a converted Admirals Barge of the U.S.S. Midway. She was powered by two detroit diesels but had been converted to a cabin cruiser configuration for southern California 'sea scouts'. We left Dana Point harbor and headed north to Newport Beach. Hearing the diesels rumbling away, it was remarked by a few on board that that was the sound of dependability..awesome experience.

Woooow! Listen to the turbos whistle! Some serious power

Those Diesels and Turbos make a Pleasant Growling sound that says This is my Turf!!!

Just in case you wander, this for the T26: Class: Patrol/Torpedo Boat Launched: 1942 At: Kockums Shipyard, Sweden Commissioned: 1943 Decommissioned: 1957 Length: 20 meters Beam: 5 meters Displacement: 27 tons Machinery: Isotta Fraschini, 1500 hp each, 18 cyl each, 57 liter Speed: 51.5 knots Crew: 11 Men Armament: 2 Torpedoes 57 cm; 20 mm machine gun

This makes me Remember our PT 109 🇺🇸 , Great video ....👍👍👍👍👍

These things sound amazing.

Total excitement. Thanks for the video.

The turbos sound sweet. Nice sounding boats to.

Wow, that mus be pretty intimidating, when you are just sailing along and that comes in your direction. More engine room vid please. Thanks for sharing.

My old man served on PT boats during the Korean war. He was a machinists mate.

really cool stuff here.... super sounding boats as they cruise along.... love it

stunning turbo sound!

They sound good, but they look so awesome at speed planing across the water. Awesome job gentlemen !!!!

That's badass wrapped in awesome and deep fried in stunning sweetness!!!

What a beautiful sight!

I served on two US Coast Guard Island class patrol boats, both of them were powered by Paxman Valenta engines that sounded very aggressive. I wanna say they made 2800hp apiece, but had been dialed down from 4000hp in order to preserve the hull. They also smoked in cold water lol.....like a lot! My two were Sanibel and Wrangell, the 'Bel was an A class, Wrangell was a B class, and even though Wiki page says they top out at 29kts I can vouch for faster - Wrangell was getting a plant overhaul once a year while in the Northern Arabian gulf and we made 34kts with extra ammo and personnel aboard, she was a VERY fast ship, all six of the Island class patrol boats overseas were. Those engines we called them the Ferrari's of diesel engines, and I miss the sound, like a muscle car on steroids!!!

Nice close formation station keeping, particularly with that many people on board

Absolutely brilliant.... What a great sound with that whizz of turbo... ✌️💪👍

Beautiful!

Once in a life time ride !

Man that is awesome!!!

love the t26, what a beautyful boat!

I got a trip with T56 for my 50 years birthday. Very nice at about 40 it’s in Stockholm’s archipelago

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!!!

These would be great boats for water-skiing 😎

I would love a trip out on one of them

WAUW!! Fantastic!!

That sure looks like fun. Sounds awesome

Just unbelievable BAD ASSERY!.....Wild ride, would be awesome to own one of those!!!

thanks for sharing, wow :)

Thank you so much for showing the Historical Patrol boats. Growing up I use to Love watching the 72 Foot Torpedo Retrievers on Hood Canal WA. They would be Engines Off during a Test of a New Torpedo, then fire up there big Detroit Diesel's. Just get out and move across bay to Retrieve the Test shots. Or the fun thing to watch, when a Boater would go into Range. They would give chase, with a Flashing RED beacon and a coaster SIREN blasting. Those where fun summers watching the Navy on underseas Warfare Range.

epic!!

TurboDieselPower!!!

Freakin awesome boats

Fantastic sound from these old torpedo boats, the ultimate big boys toy (if you have the money)! :-)

How cool is that. That is all.

Awesome sound and ships, i am hyped :)

Everyone wanted one of those. Very cool sound made famous by the show PT 109

meget flotte båter :) nostalgi!

Diesel-Power Pur Bravo , wäre gern dabei gewesen

Wow.., I wish I can have one

Sounds Great once warmed up to operating temp.

I wish I was aboard, purely even though audio rugged .the note of the engines!!!!!!!

Wow! Stable boat when chopped that back boat waves...

Thought I saw McHale on the first one out,nice video.

Awesome weapons platform.

Those Vikings are ready to rumble

This is one of the great chacteristics of the Swedish built Navy combat vessels they are destine to be everlast. ♥️♥️😍😍👍👍

My Dad purchased a fiberglass salmon fishing vessel from " Don Pusga " of Haney , B.C. Canada in '78 . Pusga bought the mold from the U.S. The mold was a " PT " boat that the US had used in the veitnam war .. " How cool is this ?" 😊

I served on MTB 44 and the engines where not diesel, they where equipped with 3 X Isotta Frachini Polar and ran on aviation gasoline, 110 octane , amazing sound , from far away they sound like a ww2 bomber aircraft

I like this boats

"Now we are sucking diesel!!" 😁

Kongratulation Herr Diesel die Beste Maschine

frunkin Nice!!!

You can tell those boats want to hustle.

Class: Patrol/Torpedo Boat Launched At: Kockums Shipyard, Sweden Commissioned: 1957 Decommissioned: 1973

damn... i need that ship...

Way to go. . .

Beasts! With the turbo noise♥️

Have a look at these TBs Gord.

3:35 that exhaust and turbo 🙂😍

There great got to ride on one in the 50. S

Gotta get to Sweden for the boat races.

THE ENGINES SPOOLING UP AT THE START, SOUND LIKE ALCO 539 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINES!

After WW2 my dad bought a surplus harbour defence launch in Darwin Australia that had triple Packard 12 cylinder aircraft engines converted for marine use, he removed the 2 outboard engines and just ran on the centre engine he said it went like a bat out of hell.

Now that reconfigure that boat and you would have a magnificent Yacht

Those tubes look like they are long enough to carry Mk45 ASTOR torps. That might cause more than a few antennas to twitch tho...

I was on these boats during 1970 to 1975. It was great but sometimes also scary. Then the fuel was gasoline not diesel.

T26 boat is too similar to Italian Navy torpedo boats (MAS) used last WW2 and engines are Isotta Fraschini

I want to see a drag race between the T26 and T56. I want to see the acceleration power of the T56.

They Used to strike in Wolfpack’s 💪🏻

Anyone remember McHales Navy? lmao awesome movie

The T-26 boat looks very similar to a Scott-Paine design that was used by Higgins and Elco. Also, the T-56 boat looks very similar to the US PTF "Nasty" class, but doesn't have the Deltic engines. What engines are used, and what designer? Thank you.

instead of taking the little blue pill, i'm gonna replay this tonight before i go to bed. the misses won't know what got hold of her. poor thing.

wow!!!

Lovely - and impressive, exchange the torpedoes for Harpoon or some other anti-ship missile and they could be used again today!

Miljöpartisters mardröm 😎

I didn't realize these boats had big guns on them,wow.

Heavily overstated. Turbos spooling? Didn't get that at any part. Impressed with the prop-wash tho''.

Oh yeah! Back when the world was analogue!!

Headphones on, sound up, boat porn all the way!

oh thats so bad ass :D wow

Мощные лодочки.

Wow ! The rooster tail at 4:0 ...... 😲

Fantastic! What a thrill 🙂 Can somebody give me the specifications of the engines? I can see they are V12 diesel and that's about it!

🇸🇪 - Home Build-Kit available at your local IKEA now!!! 😉😆✌🏼‼️

Those American PT Boats are Awesome 😀😊

They look very similar to Vosper 73' MTB's....

Old shit for sure, but still impressive, and those engines are humming, thanks for the upload, very enjoyable
