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.

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

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.
