That seems to be the best boat. The sound is mesmerizing. Thank you for sharing!

There’s nothing that has the sound of these old classic big piston powered hydroplanes and it’s got to be terrifying running WOT open cockpit and the razors edge between flying with just the prop and rudders in the water and going over backwards ? Those guys where as close to test pilot / astronauts as you could get in the day , I’m not sure what the life expectancy was of just the unlimited class drivers had before the cockpit safety changes but it seemed like every year there were openings for several new drivers . At a time when there’s only 3 networks and at least in Seattle on that weekend that’s what everyone was doing or watching on the big color console tv if you were lucky enough to afford one . Thank for sharing your video

These old hydros are THE best ways to really hear those old Allison V-12's ,they're sweet on the aircraft but on the ground you dont get to hear them under load ,and you can hardly hear the actual beat of the engine over prop wash . I would love to see this in person one day . Until then thanks for this .

Got to see her run in Detroit this year (2016) in fact was allowed to get up on her and take a few pics. Beautiful boat, I was planning to build an RC 1/10th scale shovel nose hydro this winter, it wasn't going to be U-36 but I think it will be now. Thanks for the hospitality guys.

Observing this boat made me realize. If we never mastered flight we would fight wars with armed wooden boats powered by packerd V12.

Surprised it didn’t get stolen while at Crater Lake. Those people still think turn signals are illegal.

Could you imagine when went boating on a weekend you would have hire a crane just to put your boat in.

These boats were still competitive with the turbines well into the 80s and likely still would but it was getting harder and expensive to maintain an find parts, power wasn’t the problem they had plenty of head room . I’m just glad they are preserving this part of history I was lucky I grew up just outside Seattle so for as long as I can remember we watch and later would travel to the Columbia cup 4 or 5 hrs to the S.E. corner of the state.
