Prior to the adoption of gas turbine engines in about the '80's,
unlimited-class hydroplanes ran "war-surplus" Merlin and Allison engines. We
lived about 12 miles from Seattle's Lake Washington, and could hear the
boats clearly during qualifying sessions and races. Up close at the lake
they were absolutely awesome.
