I grew up two blocks from this course. We swam here every day in the summer. Nothing compares to the excitement in the days of the Atomic Cup...the V-12 WWII Allison and Merlin surplus motors that powered the boats, at that time. They didn't call them the Thunder Boats for nothing. They literally shook the ground for a couple of miles.

I watched Unlimiteds on Lake Eldorado Ks. and Lake of the Ozarks Mo. back in the 80's. The only turbines, to the best of my recollection , were Atlas Van lines, and Circus Circus. The latter broke a skid fin in a corner on Eldorado and was sliding across the lake sideways at close to hundred mph. Miss Budweiser would shake your bones as she roared by.
@bryanst.martin71346 жыл бұрын
You cannot match the power to weight ratio, or the greater economy of the turbines compared to Recips at high power settings. I've built them both. And boats. The heavier engine needs heavier structure in the hull stringers. The hull needs an extra layer to support the added weight. Now you sit lower in the water, launch slower, and suffer significant vibrations from the engine, but the ride may be a bit smoother. And the Allisons were supercharged.
