one of my earliest memories...
...was our family friends blown big block chev speed boat called somethin special....he lived a couple doors down from us and when he started that thing up the whole neighbourhood heard it. we used to go up to wisemans and get behind it in a big tractor tube and camp out and have big fires and watch the oldies drink...all day was the sound of v8s up and down the river..life was loud and simple. ill never get tired of that sound.

Love that
similar thing for me. We had the unlimited hydro boats. Big Rolls Royce Merlins and V12 Allisons and later the jet engines. The jets never did sound right though, after hearing those V12's.
I was watching that and forming the mental picture of a retired couple sitting on the deck of their house boat one morning and suddenly being surprised overboard but someone doing some testing and blowing by trailing a 10m rooster tail.
Great stuff!
