Ms Such Crust's mechanic let my dad run it around Gun Lake in 1945 or so , so he could listen to it from shore-- that salt water theyre in - i guess itll need a bath after this run
Aircraft engines are very fussy...Miss Burien has a V-1710 Allison and they powered the P-51-A, P-40 and P-38's...AWESOME motors that were dead-nutts reliable and make WONDERFUL noises!
I love the roar when they pull away from the dock!

Awesome - you get a good idea what a ride is like in an old round bow hydro.
