you don't like all the catvids

[@joelaichner3025]

Shit Happens ? Funny Strange , also Funny Ha Ha

[@michaeltaylor8835]

All 2 minutes of it

[@jiggyquinn5635]

Thank you, nothing sounds like a high performance boat!!

[@ZipZapPower]

you're welcome!

[@theirishman8356]

So many nice boats. Love the sounds of the V-8 motors.

WebSep 30, 2023 · Zip Zap Power brings the best boat racing high speed action from the XInsurance Great Lakes Grand Prix on Lake Michigan in Michigan City, Indiana! Class 1, …

[@RageAgainstTheMachine.]

from new zealand. absolutley beautiful wow, thank you 4 sharing.

[@eric4232]

I like the fact that guy who installed the prop had a calibrated elbow. I learned that "skill" in the service.

[@haydent1000]

It has to be calibrated with the trusty block of wood.😆

[@johnkingsley9525]

Lots of change in boats and motors since I watched the Gold Cup races many years ago in Lake Washington however the danger is still there.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Lake Michigan?? I wonder if they could be a little more Vague when and where?

[@denisiwaszczuk1176]

Such sweet tunes.

[@3pan1]

Ask that the underwater life

[@rogerjohnson8707]

I had my boat at the Michigan City Marina for 10 years before moving to FL. Where is on a lift in the back.

[@JohnPennock-d3y]

NOW THATS A BOAT! John P.

[@Hystorm1]

Never knew anything like these machines existed until now, thanks much!

[@kurtkaster5666]

Is it not possible to supercharge a V10 or V12? Just once I want to hear one of these that doesn't sound like every monster truck I've ever heard.

[@patrickkelly6311]

How do these boats compare to a ww2 Elco 80foot class Pt boat or patrol torpedo boat with there two 1500hp Packard engines

[@peteschram9524]

About 150 plus faster these are running 1300 to 2000 hp v8s all though I love the sound of a RR or Packard use to be at the races on the Detroit river in the old days before the jets

[@Z-Bart]

Awesome. Would love to see those bad boys on Superior.

[@HardcoreMotors]

Dude, you gotta bring back your nightly videos! Those were like therapy to me, ha!

[@timford3599]

I've always loved the bow shape of the Reggie Fountain boats!

[@Perigault]

Woah, what happened to dude on the left @1:00

[@nairbyad7188]

seriously, WTF? looks he just about passed out from fumes. amazing that no one mentioned him

[@kiwiexotics1982]

Good to see the Kiwi's out there going hard as usual.

[@samwhitehead7695]

Thanks for the heads-up, I would love to come and see these speed demons, Cheers from Australia.

[@kevinfunk83]

The Xinsurance class 1 MTI runs fixed m6 drives as opposed to torque tubes. Curious to see how they finish the year.

[@gophergopher777]

what is the engine ? fabulous 😁

[@tcm2kd5000]

It Must have been fun fighting the chop of Lake Michigan. One day it can be like glass, then the next day you can have 6 to 10' waves. Not too many cats on Michigan it's deep-haul land for a good reason.

[@DumbCarGuy]

dang at 2:03 were still wedging a block of wood and a socket between the $15,000 blade and lower unit to tighten up the shaft nut. I woulda thought it would have been more technical on a $2,000,000 boat

[@ejb9545]

The only thing missing was a shade tree

[@SkeelesFortySeven3277]

Nope! What works works!

[@Dynacologist]

I would ask you what else that you would you recommend using without screwing up the edges of an expensive prop, but then I look at your name and it answers my question

[@DumbCarGuy]

@@Dynacologist I find it difficult to lower my IQ to your level just to converse with your kind, so I won't.

[@Dynacologist]

@DumbCarGuy Says the dumb car guy 🤣😂

[@GiovanniLentini-y5z]

Grazie per questo meraviglioso video ....Attendo con ansia i video anche di queste competizioni ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rkillian7233]

I particularly like the gray one, very slick...

[@rtlamb]

I like the sound of the Cigar Monster!! A down looooow growl!!

[@WizardOfWhoopee]

Anyone find out what happened to the 1-minute guy? 1:00 Looks like he may have got a shock.

[@spa7521]

[@mickeybowmeister1944]

Are things faster than a boat with 6 x 400 Mercury outboards?

[@ragnarlothbrok9133]

Hi. What sort of area is Sunny Isles Beach? Thinking of going there this winter for a getaway.

[@marinadelich876]

Need to have a ringtone of them running at speed

[@jiggsborah7041]

I'm playing thru my system , absolutely awesome .

[@rkillian7233]

Ha, where was this? I'd love to see some of these...

[@revolverdon]

How fast do these boats go ? They sound cool but don't seam to go fast.

[@markjorgensen768]

Is this Michigan City, IN? Do they still do the race out of Grand Haven up to Point Betsie and back?

[@rogerjohnson8707]

Yes

[@brianschindlbeck2807]

I actually thought it was Saugatuck or Ludington

[@randypruett5681]

I used to love going to the races back in the 80's. Need to take my son so he can see first hand what his grandfather did.

[@OutdoorsSC]

Can't hide that money. We like our slow moving trains and football here in Clemson. Go Tigers!

[@bdg77]

Are these for bass fishing?

[@theirishman8356]

I would love to see a few 12 cylinder motors. Ferrari or lambo's. The sound alone would give me chills. 👍

[@totalidiotsfails]

great boats for us!

[@Rainsen007]

what is the exact color of the dfYoung ? Its the most beautifull boat in the world!

[@howlinmad4208]

Mega bucks boats, but you still need a block of wood for a prop change😊

[@Dynacologist]

What else would you recommend without messing up the edges of an expensive prop?

[@nasosnasos8054]

Price ?

[@quimt.6440]

Sabeis el consumo por hora de estos barcos 🤔

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Those motors are amazing

[@richr909]

In cash I could literally afford to buy 2 props, a steering wheel and maybe 2 seats. That's it. lol.

[@gewglesux]

Where's the rod holders?

[@marcplucinski8846]

Knuckle head racing is tim Walt a sponsor?

[@haroldluck9899]

Nice engines. Any jet drives?

[@genefogarty5395]

Jet drives are nowhere near as efficient as a prop, so no. Two boats of the same size, weight and HP, the prop boat will be faster. I had a jet boat and loved it, then I got a surface drive prop boat and forgot about the jet, lol.

[@sangbae8099]

Drum rolls everywhere !!😊

[@LarrySmith-l1o]

Beautiful!

[@samwhitehead7695]

Any Turbine Boats?

[@ZipZapPower]

no turbines this season on the race circuit

[@postalfnj]

I remember living in point Pleasant and seeing the Hennessy and Benihana Grand prix.

[@framfull]

The Huski boat seems somewhat Swedish🤠

[@timford3599]

You're correct. Huski is a Swedish Chocolate maker. They also sponsored the 2022 Indianapolis 500 winning car with Marcus Erickson at the wheel.

[@PaulinaBridges]

Digging the OG Magnum!!. Beast.

[@ph11p3540]

The real question is, are these boats or are they aircraft?

[@vinnienone3907]

Fantastic Girls. I miss that here on the Great South Bay. L.I. NY

[@Fly4aWhiteGuy]

1:35... I thought the guy was installing a propeller onto the dock for a second there.

[@shorttimer874]

Can't help thinking that if OSHA sees this they will have all those crewmembers in fireproof suits, life jackets, harness, and lifeline...

[@BOBBYBUTTE-ld9br]

WE HAD A GREAT TIME , AS WE ALWAYS DO THESE PAST 20 YEARS.

[@AxtionMag]

A lot of money on that lake… 💯

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Takes 2, One drives and the other is on the trottles.

[@rodneyramirez603]

The hobbit turned like as if there was…SQUIRREL…huh what🤪 what🤪🤪

[@jpvdw1961]

That prop install........

[@8marcrara11]

Top Stuff! Great viewing! Water conditions actually look like “Offshore “ not a flat water.. gotta have ocean swell! 👍👍👍🇦🇺🏴‍☠️

[@joelaichner3025]

What a Rush it must be ! Feels like your going twice as fast in boat

[@BurakBakir-n7g]

Aynen öyle,alışık olmayanlar binerse,veya dışarıdan yarışı izleyenler korkudan kusarlar.

[@joelaichner3025]

@@BurakBakir-n7g I can’t read that ! I’m an American , stupid

[@azmidlyf]

Digging the OG Magnum!!

[@thorpeboat]

Why do the race boats have to start off with their engines in gear?

[@dannyt9067]

They don’t have a typical transmission that can shift into gear while the engine is running. They use what’s called a “crash box” type trans that is way more reliable but can only shift into gear with engine off.

[@notrut]

A 'My Boat's louder than your Boat' Competition?

So badass!!!!

[@stevedolan5065]

Wow…can’t imagine the $$$$ involved in these boats…my lil crappy 23’ with one 496 ci motor costs a small fortune to own and operate 😂

Don’t drop the prop champ!

This is pure power with the right sound,I like this Electric engine sound is boring like star trek

[@magnum427]

All that $$$ and I didn't see one crew with a 'Boat Pole' to help keep the boat rash off the sides. ???

[@vedderadder7890]

It would be great if they kept them up in Miami, instead of bringing them down here to our Keys.

[@marioforget2773]

Me too. 😅😅😅

[@iceman-bi1gu]

Geil!🤙

[@thomasmcnicholas8656]

Apparently most missed the sarcasm here
