Imagine sitting in that seat!

The jumpiest video, like, ever... Impossible to watch

The turs are nothing turns are Boring. I don’t listen tomthebr@ces any more

Nothing better than. Marlins

Not bad for what it is. Thank you.

It was a good idea . . . but You really needed a tripod or a much steadier hand.

So good hearing these hydros, I grew up around them as my dad built and raced them in the 50's and 60's. Such a pity about the video quality, I accept it is what it is. Thanks for bringing these back.

Love these! Nearly fifty years ago we watched the Madison Regatta in Madison Indiana. Always remember seeing Miss Madison and Miss Budweiser duke it out !!

Great content but I can't watch it without getting dizzy. :) There's probably an image stabilizer in the creator tools somewhere.

I remember a race in the UK of these types of boats. The funny thing was that in the lunch break there was a demonstration of 'scuba diving'. Yep, nothing to see here folks.

I remember actually seeing Miss Bardahl in Wisconsin when I was a kid. I wish I could remember exactly where. She may have been there on display for the racing fans, as I don't remember her racing. That was a hell of a long time ago.

My dad worked for Garwood when he raced way back in the day.

어지러워서 못보겠네요 영상이 너무 흔들리네요

Grew up in Seattle, 50s and 60s, I saw some absolutely fantastic Hydro races back then.

😎👍

But God, is there anything like em' ....🇺🇲💪

My father, Del Gould, was the crew chief, and Allison engine master rebuilder (licensed aircraft technician), of Miss Bardahl in 58 when it won the championship. Prior to that, he was the crew chief when Shanty 1 won the championship in 56, also of Maverick and Miss Wahoo. And prior to that, he built the engines for the Slo-Mos. Still have many mementos. I went to many races, and helped my father with some of the work, originally spending some time in the Anchor Jensen boathouse on Lake Union. He left the sport in 60 after Ole Bardahl didn't want to spend the money for my father's dream of a more reliable higher powered twin turbocharged Allison engine, set up with the help of Mickey Thompson assistance and products. And, then when my father left, Ole Bardahl kept my father's personal tools. Not nice. He was an expert in balancing the hydros, and the well known picture of Miss Wahoo flying smoothly through the air perfectly horizontal was an example of his skill in understanding the aerodynamics of the boats. In years to come, drivers tended to want the CG back further than what he considered safe, and that ended up killing drivers , esp in 1966 in the President's cup when three were killed. Sad times. My father could never watch another race.

Omg great boats!! Lowsy camera action. Gave me a huge migraine watching this crappy video.

Some of the worst camera work I've ever seen!!!

🤩🇺🇸👍⚖️👁️👁️⚖️👍👍🏁🏁🏁

"The Green Dragon." I went to the Madison Regatta every year for decades.

Are these just direct drives?

That has to be one unhappy starter!

Squireman flooded it out. Love the shovelnose boats best. Thanks for posting

3000 HP Roll-Royce Merlin aircraft engine

Terrible camera work. Get you a gimble bud.

Sad waste of a Merlin.

Why would anyone ,go to an event , with fast moving objects , and video these objects , WITHOUT A DAMND TRIPOD OR SOME FORM OF STABILISATION? IS THE IDEA ,TO GJVE THE VIEWER A HEADACHE ???

“Wild”Bill Muncey…what a dynamic driver during this era of UNLIMITEDS

I can remember similar boats in this class racing, as a lil kid in 1978-1981 when my dad was in charge of outboard racing at OMC Johnson Evinrude with driver Terry Leatherby. Outboards seemed so slow after watching these monsters

Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing

Gotta try to hold the camera more steady man

REAL THUNDERBOATS!!! I grew up loving these monsters. Neck deep in the water these things would pound your ribs to dust while your ears flapped in the breeze!

I lost interest when turbines came around.

Check out Miss Supertest 3 she set a few records in 1960 she was a. Canadian boat won the Harmsworth 3 times😊

Miss the ALLISON..MERLIN ..and GRIFFIN motors..❤️🤔

Bad camera handling / focus.

Beauty ❤❤❤❤

I love thunder boats. Turbine boats just don't have the same visceral appeal.

I used to watch these piston boats as a kid during Seattle Seafair days in the 60s. Miss Bardahl was my fav.

Thank you for sharing magnificent machines, and thank you for recording video in landscape mode. Im alergic to portrait video

I had a friend from work who drove the super Salami Miss Oberto for a few years and quit after a turbine replaced the piston engine. He said he felt unsafe in the boat.

Yep 100%

Over regulation of all types of boat racing has ruined the sport. Thank you APBA

I think the cameraman‘s name is shaky

so cool, love those old boats. i didn't realize that some of them run with an open pontoon. not sure why, i'm going to do some reading.😁

That guy in "The Squire" was a pussy.lol C'mon now seriously you could just see that Allison was just begging to be run hard.

I used to watch these guys race on the Detroit River it was great

Shaky... cam. Redo, keying on subject. Crop the rest.

I saw the Bardahl P-51 at the Reno Air Races last year.
