If I'm correct: 4 stroke diesel 4 valves per cylinder. W18 configuration , 3 banks of 6 inline cylinders. Italian Isotto Francini. Ferrari like super diesels..
Music to my poor old ears!!!! Utter joy to see this blast from the past in action with her sisters! Modern gas-turbines are okay, but nothing beats the rib-thumping commotion of a few big diesels!
My father operated PT boats while he was in the US Navy. I came within 45 minutes from being born on a PT boat in Trinidad. I don’t know the sound because we left Trinidad when I was just three headed to the mainland. I’m sure if he was alive today he would really enjoy this. Thank you for posting.

My Dad was a PT captain in the Philippine’s in WWII. He said he would shout a warning when he was about to punch it because guys would fly off the stern if he didn't.
Yes. They were wood . My grandfather was on a PT boat that was stripped of the 3rd engine and torpedoes. Was called a Crash boat. Was even faster. SaR pilots Army Air Corp. Skuttle remainds of downed plane so enemies couldn't get it. Stole a jeep one time for fun when they were around manilla. 😂
As a captain who has run Man, Cats, Detroit's and Marlins these engine sound at idle like nothing I've ever heard. Amazing. At high speed, sounds like a pair of Ford Merlins we put in a Bertram 35.
I was involved in the restauration of this boat. The engines these days are CRM diesels with around 1800 hp each after being renovated at the factory in Italy. The hull thickness is around 2,2 mm.
Takes me back to early fifties. Royal Navy. “Gay” Class gunboats. 3 big petrol engines but experimented with gas turbine power. Was sailing the 100 square metre yacht Wal in the Solent and six of them went close by three each side. Gay just meant fun-loving then in case you wondered. Keith Webb
The Flying Saucer, speed boat, in Ocean City, NJ was a converted PT . Could carry 125 passengers at speed running through the ocean waves. Burned 1.3 gallons per engine per mile. In the late 60s I delivered avgas for it's 3 engines. Hell of a ride it gave with Chris M at the helm!
I love those PT boats and watched McHale's Navy as a kid just for them. I'm a retired auto mechanic and those engines had a beautiful, throaty hum to me, too. And you sure could tell when those turbos lit off. The American PT boats had triple Packard 4m-2500, supercharged, 100 octane, V-12, gasoline-fueled engines.
Back then,Diesels couldn't provide the instant power on required for fast attack boats like these . It was only with the advent of the Napier Deltic Diesels that Diesel engines could get the required Torque and Revs required .Plus America produced fuel at the same price as water...
Not sure about the McHale's Navy boats, but the one's in "They Were Expendable," were the real deal. The movie was released in 1945, and the Navy helped with the "special effects" which weren't effects at all. www.imdb.com/title/tt0038160/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1 Staring Robert Montgomery, Comdr.

Great video showing the results of what the workforce could fabricate. Precision built and ready to fight in it's day. It's nice to see history at it's best and not hidden like most would like to do. Freedom comes at a cost.
The hull shape is just perfect for the type of job these craft were designed to undertake. It must be thrilling to stand on the deck while they are running at top speed - 50 knots or 58mph, my wife doesn't drive that fast on the road!
Man that boat can move! Our 8 metre diving RIB has 2 outboard and it's a great feeling to be zipping along, but it must be Heaven on this MTB beauty. 👏Respect from 🇬🇧
Daver G sounds about right. Modern Hatteras GT70 sport fishing boat with 2800 HP MTU V16s runs around 265 gallons per hour at 41 knots. Closest similar boat I could come up with in terms of size and power.
Thanks for posting this video. You boys know how to have fun.

It woud be a thrill to go for a ride, even without the lovely ladies for which your part of the galaxy is famous. (thanks for the tip, Algen toast)
I'm a sailboat type, but if I ever did want a power boat, it would be a torpedo boat. My favourite is the early German E-boats, S-1 through 10. Sweet lines, diesels, and fast.
whatever floats your torpedoes, i'd pick a soviet G-5, with a katyusha launcher i'd convert to launch candy at the girls on the beach. Wonder what happened to the G5s after NK got em. Prolly scapped for nothing, that is the way of aluminum constructs
that's so funny. I had to explain what that meant to my 10 year old boy who was watching this with me. he said ohhhh I get it. i said glug glug glug baby!!!
The mighty Isotta Fraschini engines still sound and work great after 70 years. I would like to see a new generation engine working after 70 years, but I doubt they will hold for 30 years....
I’m not saying I want to kill anyone, but I sure would like to have an AR15 on an oil tanker when some modern day pirates were closing in. I think that would make for one helluva fun game.
Randy S. They can extort money from vessels involved in illegal fishing off of the Somali coast, one of the ritchest fishing waters in the world! As it is now looted by fisherman from Yemen to South Korea, that are braking maritime law as they are doing unlicenced fishing off the coast of Somalia! Or they can extort western companies that find it convinient to dump chemical waste in somali waters! Or they can extort western oil companies as we all know they are destroying nature with little concequence, which has taken a heavy toll on both animal and human life in several places around the world! Or just extort multinational corporation, cutting away our trees, poisoning our food, outsourcing work so they can pay workers in poor societies peanuts for their labour, later selling their goods in rich countries amounting huge profits... ...See where am going!? I can find plenty of reasons for extorting...burning.. looting!
Back in the 1960's as a kid, waiting for a ferry, was a PT boat of the Venezuela National Guard(Patrol Boat) by the dock. The Lt in charge started the twin 800HP engines for me. Never forget 👍
Gotta love the swedes... They're so understated and cool bit they'll stick a turbo on anything of they can.... Trust me I drive a volvo that's nuts and it's factory stock.... Reckon they bought on the engines... Italian I believe..... And realised they were "lacking" a bit... So old Sven and ölaf set to with some big ass turbos!

I think these Swedish boats were equiped by Italian Isotta Franchini W18 diesel engines. Extreme powerfull 18 cylinder engines with 3x 6 cylinder inline banks in W configuration and commonrail high pressure injection. And multiple turbo's with watercooled intercoolers and supercharger. Outstanding engenering, even nowadays
Nice and fast in flat conditions. Wonder what it was like in deep ocean swell or just a 3 foot harbor chop? Thank you for keeping this boat original and showing it off for us.
I’m a boat pilot by trade, riverboats in the 5,000 to 6,000 hp range of towboats, we push barges, sometimes 1,000 ft long. Man I would love to pilot a PT boat. That would be smokin bad ass!!

I guess they don't know that if you add some performance stickers it would boost the HP & Torque....
@@dazedandconfucioused992 they can paint the boat in falu red or put biltema stickers on the boat, it will double the horsepower and torque.

Extreme powerfull 18 cylinder engines with 3x 6 cylinder inline banks in W configuration and commonrail high pressure injection. And multiple turbo's with watercooled intercoolers and supercharger. Outstanding engenering, even nowadays
Beautiful. Reminds me of the HST Napier turbo scream.
10:56 that turbo whine, damn
Nice and fast in flat conditions. Wonder what it was like in deep ocean swell or just a 3 foot harbor chop? Thank you for keeping this boat original and showing it off for us.
Old Navy, 1969 - 73 took the whole Boat ride. Beautiful video. Nice Armament too.
I’m a boat pilot by trade, riverboats in the 5,000 to 6,000 hp range of towboats, we push barges, sometimes 1,000 ft long. Man I would love to pilot a PT boat. That would be smokin bad ass!!
