http://www.mygazines.com/issue/2632/45 Gathering of the Garwoods - August 2009 Dispatch does not actually fire until about :55 seconds into the movie. What you hear before that is a 28' Garwood in front of her with a V-12 Scripps Motor. The noise prior to the firing is the fuel pump.
1931 Gar Wood Triple Cockpit Runabout Gar Wood 33-foot triple cockpit runabouts are considered some of the finest runabouts produced by the famous boatbuilding firm in Marysville, MI. Elegant and powerful, these craft were offered with either a Scripps V-12 or a Gar Wood Liberty V-12 engine and were capable of exceeding 50 mph.
Manufactured in 1931, the runabout appearing on the stamp has a 650-horsepower, 12-cylinder Rolls Royce engine. Named Dispatch, she is owned by Tom and Maurine Turner of Carnelian Bay, CA. Her Lake Tahoe berth is next to Turner's Gar Woods Grill and Pier Restaurant.

No mufflers, straight exhaust from the motor out the back. The difference is that Dispatch runs 5" exhausts and the Scripps only runs 3". Combine that with a ferocious water pump and there you have it.
Amazing sound! Although I must say that it must be rather difficult to be around that exhaust note for any length of time (I have to wear ear plugs with my 1959 Johnson Super Sea Horse 35). The Dispatch reminds me of Oppenheimer after the first atomic bomb test, but with a twist: "I am become deaf - the destroyer of ears". Love to hear that thing in person and have a ride...
It is not the first motor you hear around :30, "Dispatch" does not fire until :55 seconds into it. The boat prior is a V-12 Scripps Marine Engine, which in the light of things sounds pretty quiet compared to Turners "Dispatch".
