I think that’s cool that they went with the Allison instead of the turbine. 😉👍🏻💯

[@karaabdelkader1273]

Do they use stern drives here or water jet drives like the ones in jet ski?

[@stampedex2]

[@gspl77]

fish gotta be like wtf

[@lelandlewis7207]

I love watching the old races with a bunch of V12s roaring around the track. It's great to see one holding its own against turbines. The one thing I like listening to with the turbine is the initial spool-up.

[@BowHunter74]

Nothing like an Allison V12 ❤❤

[@craigjohnson2009]

H1 needs more of this.

[@Coronetguy]

Can’t beat the sound of the Allison. Brings back great memories.

[@peacemakerpete]

Wow, I LOVE the sound of a boosted V-12, with that cam "lope" at idle. Sweet! Thanks for sharing Jeremie!

[@1rudderbum]

So Cool seeing a piston boat Hauling the Mail !

[@dallasc9877]

Always love hearing the v12, I'm 50, so I was around when the turbines were coming in, but hearing this I soo much better Go 3

[@tomvandentop3842]

True thunder screams cool!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ THUNDER !!!! LET IT THUNDER !!!!!! YES !!!

[@Grizzman99]

Best boat in the series. Wish they could nail down a big sponsor and hit every race

[@_mysilentblue2227]

OHHH yes bring it on!

[@bluefungi]

I can't believe I didn't know what a hydroplane was til today. A co-worker told me about these earlier and I had to find clips of them. I'm glad I did. These things are really cool.

[@volodymyryeremeyev3633]

V-2has da best sound in da WORLD

[@My-Pal-Hal]

They didn't call them "Thunder Boats" for nothing. Sure 'Miss' the piston days. But the Hydros are still the 💩👍👍

[@clydearmstrong6378]

This is what HYDRO RACING IS !! THUNDER ! BABY !!

[@pheonixking9776]

Now that's what I call pod racing!

[@MrBIGTEE504]

Nice all the way around great boat and speed and driving good job captain

[@bobmixon6021]

Wow... Allison V12... can these piston engine boats compete with the turbines today?

[@beanza_]

I can’t wait to see the 3 at Tri Cities, hopefully it doesn’t chuck a prop shaft through the bottom of the hull this time

[@brianrogers7360]

I miss the sound of the Alisons and Merlins

[@michaelhoeft1001]

Cool boat!! 😮

[@edwardclark8273]

I bought my last Springfield from Griggs at the Pasco, WA location. Good prices.

[@karaabdelkader1273]

Dude do you know the top speed of the boat in the video and if he use Inboard or outboard or Sterndrives or jet drives?

[@jackseveryn7296]

how do they have so much grip on water???

[@zibbyzubb]

Hope they find a buyer. That boat can be competitive with a driver other than Jimmy King.

[@independentthinker8930]

I love the old warlord engines! Much more enjoyable for me!!!!! I wish someone would start producing them again

[@brianknapp6215]

High-quality steel is the main problem. It's simply too expensive- and an aluminum block would never stand up to the pressures/temperatures created inside a boosted V-12.

[@independentthinker8930]

@@brianknapp6215 I know, I've raced boats over 30 years. Many great things qren't made anymore because it costs more

[@jamyc.5800]

Poetry on water

[@wackaircaftmechanic2312]

Is that an Allison V12?

[@Rush_Motoo]

This is not boat with engine, but engine with small boat😂😂😂

[@captainskye7983]

🤠🐉🎬

[@michaelragan5799]

Runs good but won't beat the turbines sadly

[@countryracer69]

Been putting up a good fight. Progress

[@user-kn4mt2tc7s]

❤P❤p❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@christophergagliano2051]

Yeah they sound good, but they destroyed a whole bunch of very valuable aircraft engines before they went to turbine powerplants

[@brianknapp6215]

They really weren't doing anything with them. Most of the Allison/Merlin motors used in Unlimited Hydroplanes over the years were obsolete WWII surplus. Had they not found new life in racing or tractor pulling, they would have been scrapped many decades ago...
