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.
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?
That's what he said, wasn't it?? 😂😂 I was sure, but I didn't bother to go back to check it 😂 It's super funny. I can see the armchair sailers and he's wife, standing there to see this 😂 "it's not going to start"
@@andersjakobsen9906 -- apologize -- but startet to write bevor realizing you had the same idea .. but these kind of saying´ and instant "in your face" demolish by reality is worth a doublepost quote.
Used to go to the gold cup racecin picton ontario canada in the ,70 n 80s.,...was awesome....lost their big sponsor..no longer have it .....Hayward long reach...was specific location .
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.
@:26 only in Canada would a kid walk around in summer wearing a hockey goalie outfit! Look at the front of the boat (pronounced boot ;-) walking to the right!
I thought boats go to the lake to go in the water not pull up to the ramp start and be applauded haaaaaa great job maybe the next generation will see this and run with it
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.

I hope their neighbors get one and start it at 04:00 every day.

The laborious start and clatterous run... I knew it was RR, lol.
Ahhh, a nice quiet day on the lake...
Only in Canada will you see a hockey goalie walk through a boat video. :26
Probably a lacrosse goalie
Fuckin hilarious
00:40 -- the definition of "blowing out the pipes"
"Its not gonna start".......BLAAAP BLAP BLAP BLAP BLAP!!!!
Bravo ! Excellent boat !!
No water hooked up to the boat ! Holy shit so much for the water pump and glowing exhaust manifolds
its a Rolls Royce aircraft engine. what are you talking about?
Lmao you are dumb

Lol, that’s hysterical
This Rolls Royce Merlin engine actually is liquid cooled. With all engines though, they are safe to run for a few minutes without water.
Oh my ! Lotsa horse power in them there crackles !!!

My thoughts exactly??
There is no water pump. Just a water pickup on the bottom of the boat.
sounds like either a Merlin or early Rolls
3000hp Rolls Royce Griffon engine
"its not gonna start" >outbreak of a fueled oiled sound smackdown of hell< ..... *ears fell off" Hahaaaahahahaa !!! LOOOOOLLLlllllll !!!

Hmmmm I never knew they had anything cool in Canada.
We have two things. ua-cam.com/video/AWkknWETdzc/v-deo.html
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.

Gretta just had a calf!

When chewy and Hans try n start ur boat
Красивая лодка. Мощный старт.
Bless that ship.
Yeah, but does it float....? 🤔
Well now I don't feel as bad about how loud my boat is!
What does that measure on the Richter Scale???
I hope it has a closed cooling system.
smh, I know right.
@:26 only in Canada would a kid walk around in summer wearing a hockey goalie outfit! Look at the front of the boat (pronounced boot ;-) walking to the right!
Great. I never noticed it until you pointed it out.
That 2 seat lake boat is bigger then a lot of cabin cruisers.
It’s weird. It’s like it doesn’t want to start out of the water? Hmmm, I dunno.
little goalie walked through the vid....
Good 👍 video

0:37 punish the non-believer! Punish him with decibels!
Sounds like a tank start up.
Close enough, because it's a Rolls Royce Engine. :)
A dry start, surely this is the last thing that one should do?
Bad ass..
Nice okey...
Where is the Ether when you need it?
. Is that boat wooden?
over heat it no water hook up great for the water pump
Confused why it’s in neutral, thought it only had one gear

Your audio is in wrong g spot.. just sounds loud w no cylinder recognition..
Smog monster!
Soooo, is the boat motor in the spitfire??
Wow❤️
sounds like a air plane engine
It’s an airplane radial they always sound that way
ua-cam.com/video/7viykzVoE18/v-deo.html
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
Dammmm
Kinda like the NHRA drag races.
0:26 If you weren't sure you were in Canada...
Why would you even think about starting a boats engine whilst it's on the hard
You do know it has an airplane engine inside nothing to do with water
@@LOBmcguireMerlin?
@@rodgerwoods4971 no it's a Griffin engine
@@LOBmcguire Thanks 👍
The boat is for sale if want. antiqueboatamerica.com/Boat/34_Feet_1948_Miss_Canada_IV_Race_Boat_37213
F en A 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍
Total fail. Your phone mike couldn't reproduce it?
Shut it down its going to blow up ~ so much rattling going on ~ Don't sound good
Lol what IN de hell is in that thing 👍
:41 HOW DARE YOU!!! You ruined my life I should be in school! You come to me with your problems! The earth now has 3 more years to live! 😪
Radial much
