Wow, such craftsmanship. I bet driving it wide open was a blast, I wonder if it was hot sitting in that driver’s seat with all that power/exhaust belching out in front of you.
124mph in 1932 is just awe inspiring, must have been something special seeing that back in the day. |

That thing is awesome, would be incredible to hear it run some time. Love those motors. |
Look at all those pipes! I bet it's one loud mofo!

WTF? So much for new Patented Step Bottom Design. LOL

Beautiful!

I had the privilege of seeing this great piece of history a few years ago.
Those are the most beautiful engines I've ever seen. Back in the day, the operators were known as Driver & Mechanic, instead of today's Driver & Throttleman. I was told the deck had quite a visible amount of flex when the boat was brought up to speed. 124mph...those guy's must have had balls the size of bowling balls! |
