: Scott, where did you find this picture? This looks exactly like the boat my
: grandfather built to race on the Mississippi river way back when. It used
: a V12 airplane engine that I believe was made by Hispana Suiza (sp?). I am
: not sure exactly what ever happened to that boat. One of his boats was
: wrecked when it hit a floating log. I have an old B/W photo of him in the
: boat with 12 straight pipes just like this boat. Could it be???

Actually back in the time, that pipe settup was pretty common. Take a look at the Harmsworth Trophy, should be available online. They had many boats set up that way for racing, got pretty radical after a few years with multiple engines as well as multiple steps in the hulls.
