0:04 That 1100 HP, is that before or after you account for the altitude-30 % loss of power?

Built back when the wealthy knew the difference between way too cool and just big and expensive

Should have called it Braggadocio

Nice, but it would have been nice to see the boat at more than idle.

Stunning old lady that

So magnificent, classic American style, class, elegance, ingenuity and power,

Any footage of it running above idle?

You can’t see crap when you’re driving that boat

Serving drinks onboard, no one wearing PFD's, hmmm

What a fkn horrible craft.

Now twin turbo each one on leaded race fuel

Why do you describe her as "infamous"?

Shame on them for letting the flag drag in the water!!

That is one Elegant craft.

I remember I had to take a poop when we took a ride on this boat. My wife was so embarrassed, I forgot to wear my depend briefs . Someone even vomited 🤢 over the side. I have to admit it really was disgusting. Poop was everywhere.

i know where there are homeless war vets that need food....

Those motors were built to run long and hard . She should go around the lake at least once a week full throttle .

Fuck that bird, when they cry, they cry for hours and hours and It's annoying. Should have put a Black cat down it's throat and Blew it up 🤣🤣🤣

wow

Wealthy people do weird things with their money.

beauty

A thing of beauty .

I wanted it to fall

That’s a load of passengers. No need for speed, the journey is the desert. Glad he treats the ole lady with such respect. GlennFHoward

Don't want to see that flag dragging in the water.

That is one beautiful boat!

Great boat, but guess they couldn't afford the gas to throttle up. All show no go?

Might as well put an Evinrude 25 on the back...........open it up geezer,I'll give you a few bucks for gas!!!

It sounds just like the legendary P-38 Lightning at full throttle. I head it loud and clear, while biking up the Flume Trail, last week!

Why brag it has 1100 hp engines if you're not going to throttle them up. Waste of three minutes to me.

Nice but for god's sake man open her up, shove the throttle to the stops , let her live again !!

I've never actually seen it on the plane. He just idles it around using one engine, like he's afraid it will wear out. Those allisons need to be run at 2800rpm regularly to burn off gum deposits and carbon or it will need another motor overhaul sooner that expected.

All that and no one wearing life preserver Shame shame

Gun the F'n thing, would you please.

cool art deco styling

no bullshit. ...the prettiest and sexy boat I truly have ever seen 😯😯😯😯😯😯

2200 horsepower and it does 3kts.

Is the fishing good at Lake Tahoe and what kind of fish are in the lake?

wow it lasted this long and not forgoten

A rum runner for sure....

jesus christ.... give it some throttle im bored!!

Cool video! I recently got a flowerpot as well and love it:)

Is there any footage of this boat going at more than idle? What's the use of two 1100 HP engines that just soot up?

Just so you know - it gets 5 gallons to the mile at idle speeds, under 2000 rpm. The fuel supply is at Tahoe City so it costs approximately $300 to make the round trip from the Thunderbird Lodge to the TC Marina and back, running at about 25 knots. Of course, once she is back on the lake, we're accepting bookings, and you can "pay to play!" At about the 4500-5000 rpm the aircraft engines' superchargers kick in, and it's been tested to about 60 knots (70 mph) on Tahoe. It's been a long while for this elderly lady, who turned 75 last month.

typical americans as always no idea and over the top again !!!!!

how pointless to do one circle with throttle at idle

Where was that step up?

That busload of people must be really exited for the ride! If you like idle speed backwards that is.

why didn't he get up it? a bit scared it will fall to bits
