What are these?

From the 1920s

Over eighty feet long, held the water speed record from 1920, into the early sixtys, for this size boat! Twinn V 12 aircraft engines, with dual ignition systems, Lets do the math here.....,, 48 spark plugs... and so on! "Not a cheap tune up, even at VIP's prices!".... Are you listening, FLL!?.... and the wooden props that propelled her, were disigned by the inventer, him self. This Boat would have sailed sooner, the boat was ready, 1900, but the inventer had to work with the US Gouvernment on the design of the engines, as well.

Does hydrofoil, come to mind?

Guess who!

A. G. Bell.
