Unfortunately, I can't watch this because it is so jerky; I take migraines and this video is one just waiting to happen. :-(

Vintage hydros where???

Filmed from a trampoline ....

Thanks for the memories i helped out on a hydro in the sixties the owner had 2 boats one with a Ferrari the second a Maserati water had to be dead flat i saw speed of around 120mph with a huge rooster tail bit of wind and rough water ment trouble.

Thie beats the hell out of those glorified snow blowers.

Now that’s what I grew up too. Here in San Diego on Mission Bay you could hear the Thunder boats miles away 🥲🥲

First unlimited race i saw was back when miss Budweiser first started playing with turbine engines. It was in Miami marine stadium. Dean Chenowith driving. If i can recall that same year , Muncie blew over Atlas Vanlines trying for a new speed record,and passed away in the crash. The following year Dean blew the Budweiser over doing the same damn thing and killed him also. We lost two fantastic world champion drivers back to back trying to break straight away speed records. God be with them always. RIP 💜💜💜💯💪💪🏆🏆🏆🏆🌍

When i was just a young fella around 1971, 72 we were at the boat races quite often. Aggressor was my favourite she was amazing to watch, All the smaller boat would Shanghai around the boys. And Aggressor and Stampede would take the whole lake up skimming across the surface, It was mined blowing for a kid to watch. Im really happy to see the new owners looking after her. Peace ✌🏻

So these have no transmission? No neutral?

Imagine sitting in that seat!

The jumpiest video, like, ever... Impossible to watch

The turs are nothing turns are Boring. I don’t listen tomthebr@ces any more

Nothing better than. Marlins

Not bad for what it is. Thank you.

It was a good idea . . . but You really needed a tripod or a much steadier hand.

So good hearing these hydros, I grew up around them as my dad built and raced them in the 50's and 60's. Such a pity about the video quality, I accept it is what it is. Thanks for bringing these back.

Love these! Nearly fifty years ago we watched the Madison Regatta in Madison Indiana. Always remember seeing Miss Madison and Miss Budweiser duke it out !!

Great content but I can't watch it without getting dizzy. :) There's probably an image stabilizer in the creator tools somewhere.

I remember a race in the UK of these types of boats. The funny thing was that in the lunch break there was a demonstration of 'scuba diving'. Yep, nothing to see here folks.

I remember actually seeing Miss Bardahl in Wisconsin when I was a kid. I wish I could remember exactly where. She may have been there on display for the racing fans, as I don't remember her racing. That was a hell of a long time ago.

My dad worked for Garwood when he raced way back in the day.

어지러워서 못보겠네요 영상이 너무 흔들리네요

Grew up in Seattle, 50s and 60s, I saw some absolutely fantastic Hydro races back then.

😎👍

But God, is there anything like em' ....🇺🇲💪

My father, Del Gould, was the crew chief, and Allison engine master rebuilder (licensed aircraft technician), of Miss Bardahl in 58 when it won the championship. Prior to that, he was the crew chief when Shanty 1 won the championship in 56, also of Maverick and Miss Wahoo. And prior to that, he built the engines for the Slo-Mos. Still have many mementos. I went to many races, and helped my father with some of the work, originally spending some time in the Anchor Jensen boathouse on Lake Union. He left the sport in 60 after Ole Bardahl didn't want to spend the money for my father's dream of a more reliable higher powered twin turbocharged Allison engine, set up with the help of Mickey Thompson assistance and products. And, then when my father left, Ole Bardahl kept my father's personal tools. Not nice. He was an expert in balancing the hydros, and the well known picture of Miss Wahoo flying smoothly through the air perfectly horizontal was an example of his skill in understanding the aerodynamics of the boats. In years to come, drivers tended to want the CG back further than what he considered safe, and that ended up killing drivers , esp in 1966 in the President's cup when three were killed. Sad times. My father could never watch another race.

Omg great boats!! Lowsy camera action. Gave me a huge migraine watching this crappy video.

Some of the worst camera work I've ever seen!!!

🤩🇺🇸👍⚖️👁️👁️⚖️👍👍🏁🏁🏁

"The Green Dragon." I went to the Madison Regatta every year for decades.

Are these just direct drives?

That has to be one unhappy starter!

Squireman flooded it out. Love the shovelnose boats best. Thanks for posting

3000 HP Roll-Royce Merlin aircraft engine

Terrible camera work. Get you a gimble bud.

Sad waste of a Merlin.

Why would anyone ,go to an event , with fast moving objects , and video these objects , WITHOUT A DAMND TRIPOD OR SOME FORM OF STABILISATION? IS THE IDEA ,TO GJVE THE VIEWER A HEADACHE ???

“Wild”Bill Muncey…what a dynamic driver during this era of UNLIMITEDS

I can remember similar boats in this class racing, as a lil kid in 1978-1981 when my dad was in charge of outboard racing at OMC Johnson Evinrude with driver Terry Leatherby. Outboards seemed so slow after watching these monsters

Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing

Gotta try to hold the camera more steady man

REAL THUNDERBOATS!!! I grew up loving these monsters. Neck deep in the water these things would pound your ribs to dust while your ears flapped in the breeze!

I lost interest when turbines came around.

Check out Miss Supertest 3 she set a few records in 1960 she was a. Canadian boat won the Harmsworth 3 times😊

Miss the ALLISON..MERLIN ..and GRIFFIN motors..❤️🤔

Bad camera handling / focus.

Beauty ❤❤❤❤

I love thunder boats. Turbine boats just don't have the same visceral appeal.

I used to watch these piston boats as a kid during Seattle Seafair days in the 60s. Miss Bardahl was my fav.

Thank you for sharing magnificent machines, and thank you for recording video in landscape mode. Im alergic to portrait video
