I was fortunate to see this boat (right next to a Ford tri motor airplane and a large Jeep with a Ferrari 12 cylinder engine in it) inside a giant warehouse in Sparks Nevada when William Harrah was still alive - they were working on it and I was able to see the engines (from a P-38 Lightning aircraft) they said the originals were some kind of marine diesels it is and amazing work of art

I wish I could give this more than one Thumbs Up! Absolutely classy and beautiful boat.

Small correction, those are PT Boat engines. Related to, but not the same as Aircraft engines

NO DRAMA I won’t be watching anymore of your crap

Good job mate 👍

Damn, hearing that thing makes me want to buy a bottle of Canadian hooch...

What drama? Pretty good job, I’d say.

I’ve seen more drama in a tooth paste tube.

Grew up hanging out/working at a marina as a kid through teenage years. Seen a lot of boat names. Some cheezy like a dad joke, some named as if they were a strong spirited person. The name of "Thunderbird" fits that vessel well. I like old wooden vessels.

No drama a true professional, tried to use the wind, with no help. Second attempt was perfect. These straight shaft boats are not easy in close situations, they do NOT back up straight. I have experience.

PT boats at the time were 77' - 80' depending on builder with three 1200HP Packard V-12s. What an amazing bit of history this boat is.

Very interesting boat)))

Love the sound of those inboards. Sweet boat

🇺🇸👍🏻

Very very nice boat

You boat tease, Shame on you. Where is more footage of this thing.

Didn't see it get out of hole

I had some friends back in college who had a big wood boat (not as big as this one) that they called the “earthmover!” It was awesome.

Straight shaft with rudder with a tailwind wanting to push the stern one way or the other. The slower you go the less headway for the rudder to affect steerage. I’d say this operator did an excellent job.

Before the V1710 aircraft engines, Allison actually built marine specific V12s - IIRC the made exactly eight of them. They were jewels of engineering, even more so than the V1710s in many respects.

Oh no just go ahead and take a 3 sec vid of it idling we didn't want to see it rev out

I use to see this boat on Lake Tahoe "North Shore" ALL the time. Beautiful Boat.

Okay...very nice boat...TWO v12....how did you shoe-horn that in??? Edit: Nvm, just saw other vid of inside the belly.

Awe....where is the video of gettin' after it?!?

Definitely A Nice way to feed Plants their CO2 plant food

If you lack tact, then use speed.

Add vertical loading polls to the trailer

That is outstanding

Well that spaeked a response!

Gorgeous.

The guy that owns that boat must have a really tiny dick !!! !

Exhaust was getting warm before water came out.

I was expecting 12V71 Detroits.

That is awesome. I grew up on lakefront property there and seeing this video reminded me how nice it is

Huh? Only 17 seconds? Did you delete the rest of this video production? Why?

That's it ?

Here i was thinking you had detroit 12v92 engines in that boat

Talk about a hole in the water that one dumps money into.

A whole Lotta Class 💯!

Let’s hear that baby open up !

WTF IDIOT posting 18 sec clip-!

17 seconds is not enough lol Where can I find a longer video?

It sounds marvelous!!! That's IT ?? THATS ALL WE GET IS TO LISTEN TO THOSE ENGINES ??

I was enjoying a quiet day on the lake when suddenly twin V-12 Allison aircraft engines happened. This is an awesome boat.

I,d love to hear it when its revving,but what an absolutely beautiful boat,like a Chris Craft but bigger,and as TIM THE TOOLMAN say,s,BIGGER IS BETTER. And for some reason it reminds me of the old Americian navy PT boats(I think thats what they were called),but this is way way way better.,THANKYOU FOR POSTING. Best wishes to all,from,Auckland,New Zealand.

They use to be called a PT boat, but had 3 v12s, and machine guns and torpedoes,

Are there clips where she is sailing? To hear the sound of her engines at higher rpm

I blinked and missed it. Thumb down.

I bet you that girl requires a hell of a lot of maintenance but what a beautiful lady

incredible sound 😱 absolutely awesome 👏 ❤️
