I would love to have a beer with Steve someday seems like a truly genuine guy .

[@stevelee5724]

So true. I'd love a beer with Steve and you, mate. Cheers from New Zealand 😊

[@m4rvinmartian]

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 🤣

[@strokermaverick]

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!

Hell yeah brother thats so awesome

[@heathcarr1105]

Good luck man!

[@douglashartsaw3286]

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.

Yes! Big block supercharged Hydroplane.. these boats are amazing. More of this please!!

[@JustaSimpleguy-qg6qf]

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.

[@Larfinkle]

@@JustaSimpleguy-qg6qf not good news.. would be great to be able to follow the boats progress.. yt page?

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

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 😅

[@erat91]

If you can make a hydroplane engine last, you can make any engine last. Best of luck to Patrick this weekend.

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 🙏

[@bOOmbOOmProd]

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.

[@TincMoto]

I shoot and compete with a 2011 bowtech specialist lol

[@wobblysauce]

Money isnt much of the issue when you go that big.

[@tabbott429]

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.

[@dirkdickler5581]

That boat just sounds absolutly beautiful, a corn for the ears...

Acorn? Watch out for cops.

One BAD ASS BOAT !! Thank you for showing it to us!!!!!! Love ya Steve !!!! Pontoons on the wagon!!!

Those boats are a different kind of handful 😬💪

[@danmyers9372]

The steering response and the g’s they pull has to be insane in these things.

[@RIPPERTON]

Thats the NASCAR equivalent of boat racing...LEFT turn only

[@centurion726]

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

[@danmyers9372]

Yep. Bust Out Another Thousand.

[@gullreefclub]

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”😂🤣😅😁

[@ajspak874]

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

[@joshuaverhiy5000]

I was next-door on break and heard the first few attempts to fire that monster. Insane cannot wait to see what it will do in the water.

[@dylanwest4335]

That first clip with it running! Damn!

[@ragrabau]

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.....

[@BomBoo-rn8gj]

We are in the Buffalo area also, a great tradition of racing here. They still do "Thunder on the Niagara" every summer.

[@timothyward2017WILDMAN]

[@ratrod1962]

Pretty cool that they allowed us to see the shop and boat !!

[@miket6350]

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.

[@tabbott429]

BOAT= " Bust out another thousand". lol

[@jvsyoutube3298]

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

[@gcrauwels941]

The bearing in the struts are called cutlass bearings, although not sure what they're using for material here.

[@jmjaxson]

I raced a smaller class years ago and machined my own strut bearings using Delrin.

[@mrmongo6722]

Love the sound of a blower motor with a big old loupe cam!

Ah yes, a good old 🔎cam

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! 😇

That was pretty interesting. I enjoyed the rich/lean explanation about the blower hunting.

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.

Hi Steve, I grew up in Valleyfield watching the hydroplane races. Very nice to see you involved. I saw the boats in the pits last weekend! Very nice boat!! Unfortunately, the next time I saw it, it was on fire in front of me. Good thing that Pat got out. Saw the damage after in the pits. Do you know what caused the fire? Will you have more videos on that hydroplane? Thanks

[@darylmorse]

That boat is very cool. Steve, I hope you get to drive it.

you got to do a race in that i love watching those its really cool the unlimiteds are insane with helicopter motors

[@_Shinasu]

That boat is abit of a beast, looks gorgeous 👍

[@DataypeX]

That is one KEWL boat!

[@ellipoe]

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.

[@kx454]

So for anyone interested....This boat is considered to be a 3-point hydro (hydroplane). When the boat is at race pace it will only be touching the water at three points. The rear of the two sponsons (just in front of the skid fin) and the prop are the only things that are touching the water. The rear of the boat should be "floating" at race pace. The wing (canard) adjusts the attitude of the boat. It will crate lift in the straights so the boat is loose on the water and downforce in the turns. A driver can let her dance on the straights by running loose, but it can turn into a yard sale. Watch some videos of these in action....it is a hoot.

[@dazaspc]

That STAR 5 axis a very nice piece of Lights Out manufacturing. With a pallet changer and a tool magazine like that you could run the thing over the week end without any human interaction. It could Run 24/7 with it fully loaded without it ever stopping the process. They must have had a nice job for it to get something like that just in the corner or it's a backup for another. Also that limited Hydroplane wow. they are a something that isnt a sport for those who are afraid to commit lots of time and resources. Bloody hard work for those engines as well, intermittent WOT loads, long duration races and water everywhere just to test things out.

I would check ur starter shims and flywheel teeth! That hard stop could have been the starter binding and not retracting! Had a big block in a drag car that did that off and on usually on first or second cold start! Ended up cooking the starter and flywheel!
