Aaron? My boat does not smoke LOL My engines only have 360 hrs since the rebuild but you are correct! Nothing sounds like a two stroke diesel going down the river.

Here is a short clip of my boat at full plane: (Cover your ears)

Nice!

As long as we're having fun with diesel sounds ...
Here's my F32 with twin Cummins 6BTAs running 27 knots @ WOT:

Ha!

Wish you could hear the turbos in that video, but the camera phone doesn't pick up that frequency well.

Got a great video of my friend's custom 56 with twin 900HP Luggers. It sounds great wrapped up all the way. In mid winter I project it on the wall, and run the sound through the stereo, sit in the middle of the room and pretend we're heading offshore!

It's my 10' Snug Harbor dinghy. I have weaver davits on the swim platform to allow me to carry it there, or it fits peering out of the back of the truck.
