Can you remember the last time that you heard of two towns celebrating the next chapter in the life of an old wooden race boat? Well, this isn’t just another old wooden race boat, it’s the historic world record setting “Miss Canada IV”. In 1950 with Harold Wilson at the controls, powered by a 3,000 HP Rolls-Royce Griffon V12, the unique 34′ Greavette two-step hydroplane was clocked at almost 200 MPH.

@@jabom99 i know this is an old post, but, these engines are liquid cooled. In aircraft there is a radiator, just like in a car, and the same coolant is used for the intercooler. In boats, there is usually a water pickup on the steering rudder to direct water through a surge tank to the engine cooling system and oil cooler.

This Rolls Royce Merlin engine actually is liquid cooled. With all engines though, they are safe to run for a few minutes without water.

Bravo ! Excellent boat !!

Unfortunately the audio on this video doesn’t do Justice to the exhaust note of that V12 engine.😳🙄

You got that right. It was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had.

Just curious, what's lubricating the fresh water intake pump at this point? I know the Merlins were water cooled, but likely with a raw-water to coolant-water heat exchanger of some sort, right? They used a radiator on airplanes. You run most any boat engine "dry" like that you'll ruin the water pump impeller in 5 seconds. Anybody know?

There is no water pump. Just a water pickup on the bottom of the boat.

Gretta just had a calf!

Yeah, but does it float....? 🤔

Wonder if the water pump impeller was just ruined? Don't start your boat without cooling water if you don't know if damage to the water pump will occur.

What does that measure on the Richter Scale???

That 2 seat lake boat is bigger then a lot of cabin cruisers.

When chewy and Hans try n start ur boat

It’s weird. It’s like it doesn’t want to start out of the water? Hmmm, I dunno.

Well now I don't feel as bad about how loud my boat is!

Soooo, is the boat motor in the spitfire??

Where is the Ether when you need it? . Is that boat wooden?

I hope it has a closed cooling system.

Called an in/out box, has neutral and in gear with the older box's aren't synchronized meaning it can only be shifted in or out with motor not running.

A dry start, surely this is the last thing that one should do?

I’m looking at how the back of the boat has a shape like a radial in in there. But a radial would need tons of air so it probably isn’t
