Chrysler Marine Flathead straight 8, starting and idling in a beautiful triple cockpit mahogany runabout. This was shot about 20 years ago. Sounds great! I first posted this as an Imperial, but upon further review, I believe it is actually a Royal, 323 cid. Not sure, at any rate it was a long time ago that I took this video....

  • I´ve never heared a Straight 8 rumble like that. Goosebump sound at its finest.

  • @uppitybunny Hush! Liberals are everywhere!

  • @uppitybunny

    I'm with ya brother!

  • Excellent!

  • Glorious!

  • @Minus42Zero No its doesnt get hot you back far enough , you could end up getting wet though from the wake of the boat

  • That is a beautiful boat. But does that last seat get really hot being behind the engine like that?

  • Wow, that is just plain awesome

  • It should be illegal for something to sound that good.

  • Now THAT is what a vintage boat is supposed to sound like!

    Idles down nice too, doesn't it?

    I had a 49 Packard with a flathead straight 8 and it sounded

    nice, (when you could hear it at all).

    In those days engineers worked toward QUIET, 'cause unlike

    now when NOISY means SEXY, back then QUIET meant

    QUALITY.
