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.

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!
