Vid of Full american Muscle power boats.

[markcw]

Came across this on youtube the over day, if like me you are into the big and fast american muscle boats, then these vids should please.

Before watching the first one turn your pc speakers up to full this will give you an idea of the power of the engines in these brilliant boats.

The first one looks like either a model or superimposed.

Both real and fairly typical of the Florida scene.....i.e. crazy

180 on water must be quite an experience. I bet that chopper pilot had strict instructions not to pass over the bows!

Bonkers or what!

That's what someone say in the youtube page, but afaik that's incorrect.
The boat - called "Global Warmer" - was built with NA 525, and afterwards re-rigged with 700s.
Good for 120+ mph, so not too shabby anyway...

sorry for the incorrect information, i found very little info from youtube,

 

[ValleyForge]

Spellbinding .....

Loving the sound of the 1st clip, be sure to add it to the 'best video' sticky at the top of the page so i can use it for my boat porn fix

In this vid he doesnt really open it up untill about 1:28 in

Oh my god, what a great vid that is some serious,f..king speed machine, imagine hitting a tree stump or another boat at that speed, i wonder were the driver is looking in front, i would say on the edge of the horizon, the distance covered would huge.

Great vid lets have a new video part on this forum deicated to these serious and beatifull works of art.

Have to admit, realy miss the original p1 at cowes and the offsure cat power boat raceing that came to plymouth, the boats on both circuits are a work of art. i loved the victory 7 boat all anidized in blue engine components.

loved it why did it have to stop????????????????
