- This video highlights a water test of Canada's iconic race boat, Miss Canada IV, in Gravenhurst Bay, Ontario, October 14, 2013. Miss Canada was the first boat in the world to (unofficially) break the water speed record of 200 mph. She has recently been completely restored and is undergoing water tests to fine tune her fuel delivery system.
I especially like how she lurches forwards and backwards and up and down away and towards. And kudos to the photographer who held the camera steady enough to reveal those extraordinary ride characteristics.
LOL 😂
It never occurred to me to mount my camera on a slinky
Ask the air race guys. Most of them are running RR Griffin engines. We also run a Spitfire and Lightning. The brains trust at the moment is the Texas Rebel Airforce. Looking at the exhausts they are very restrictive. RR Merlins and Griffins don't like backpressure on the exhaust. This will be limiting the revs, and probably why this filters back to the fuel system.
never seen a clip of the boat yet where it isn't just mushing alog, barely on plane. Hopefully in the end, the performance issues were sorted out on this boat.
Whats it do over idle
what information does the poster of this video have that this boat actually ever cracked 200? all i can find is a report that it was "close to 200 on the return run", but the transmission failed and she coasted to a stop 100 yards from the finish line.
Beautiful looking boat but it planes like a waterlogged tree!
I would likt a model of Muiss supertest and miss Canada. Where do I look for prices. I thought Miss Canada was oened by Guy Lombardo
those are some pretty slow paces ! Doesn't look like they got the fuel problem fixed...
Would be great if they could get this video done on a decent modern cam , can't see the dam thing but it looks like it may be a nice boat .. just can't see anything , the video is terrible.
It’s unfortunate that the people with the money to redo these old boats have so little know how to redo these beautiful old boats.
Any chance of getting a higher quality video in the future?
Hi Kevin, Do you mean a more professional quality video or a higher resolution version?>
Yeah .. nah .. have headache trying to watch this video. Please put a warning on the video description next that it is of extremely poor quality... and may cause seizures if sensitive to shaking and wobbling motions..
If you can not get the RPM that you need you have too much pitch/ambition adjust your prop and fix the engine, overloading the engine will only exacerbate things. Other than that rant I love your project, if you are going to play with one of these old aircraft engines why not put it into something where you can play with it at full power without going airborne and just watching it on a test bed isn't going to light my passion, 10/10 I love it.
why not buy a good camera??????
Need a different pitch prop, or a slightly smaller diameter.
Not sure I’d have the balls to drop the hammer on a 3k hp wooden boat. Oh!, that’s right. I’ll never have to worry about it because I can’t even afford the 100+ octane gas to feed 3k horses. Lol
3000 hp ,oh dear, what happened to the other 2700? Maybe clip a couple 300 mercurys on the back an get her hummin.
What year was she built?
Is Miss Supertest III, the Harmsworth Trophy winner still around?
Hi Jerry, I believe that Miss Supertest 3 is still around, although I'm not sure who owns her currently or where she is located.
She sat at Plunketts in London until Murray Walker took her up to and where she currently resides in Gravenhurst Ontario
That's an awesome boat. Love the way they did the exhaust. That screeching sound. Should it be present or not. Sounds as if something's amiss.
Turbo whistle
Supercharger whine no turbo's
Sounds like my daughters sit on toy tractor ...
No offence intended but this thing seems to be all wind and piss,
Now we got lots of cooling in fact maybe the engine is going to run a little too hot?
I heard that too, Ed. ??
The video is poor quality, makes my head hurt trying to watch it.
Glorious!
Cell phone cameras are the worst for video. Lousy camera control
That’s gotta be a huge disappointment because she sure isn’t Miss Supertest...
Cheeze and Rice dude, Can't even see the boat in between earthquake tremors.. Beautiful boat. I'd like to see it run...
Beautiful!
Sounds strange but so nice!
That sound!
They wanna do 130mph or more in a small boat with now windscreen huh? Nah I'm good. Crazy
Oh well,there’s always next year.
I KNEW 100 MPH + WAS A JOKE. MAYBE 30 MPH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Need to talk to some top fuel mechanics get that fuel sorted !
they have nothing in common..
For gods sake can't you rich people afford a better video camera, what a joke! and mount a gopro on the boat.
That's a beast!
Sounded like me, but not a week ago.
Just what is an "iconic" race boat??
Hi David, Perhaps "iconic "is an overused word"...to me it represents a boat that has achieved some fame an/ or otherwise significant public awareness and recognition.
So, might it be termed ...as you say yourself, a "famous" race boat?
Doesn't that say all you need?
Yes, that term has been thrashed to within an inch of it's life. The Queen's English is a rich and varied language...... I don't think we have to use a one-word- to-suit-all approach?
Thanks for the reply. :-)
@@davidfarmer2049Maybe "Iconic" signifying the transition from the step hydro to the three point?
I don’t know anything about this place nor boats.
You nead a turbo 👍😊🇩🇰denmark 🇩🇰
There's a reason why amateurs make terrible performing boats.
One doesn't drive a boat.
Aye that's a nice boat there aye
Lumbering log
Wow,,, way to make every mistake when making video... I am seasick,,, learned alot from rambling people,,, really wanted to hear the motor starting and running. But from what I learned,,, it was great day on the water.
can someone infest in a good camera...next time
Stop embarrassing yourself Canada.Its a brick.
These kind of boats are cool as far as the history goes but they sure are ugly. Haha. Nortech it is for me
