Video: Miss Daytona, The Boat

Source: Autoweek

There was a time in the history of boating when racing a boat meant you had to have a hairy chest and a waxed handlebar mustache.  Your only safety gear was a tied on life jacket and the only way your engine’s emissions were reduced was by the amount of exhaust you inhaled while skip across the water.  

The Miss Daytona was a boat of that era.  The stepped hull, transom rudder boat had a supercharged motor designed by Harry Miller (that gives it a proven race engine pedigree).  Check out a video of car collector Bruce Meyer taking Miss Daytona for a test cruse.  About 6 minutes into the video the boat gets up to speed and the engine really comes to life, I probably watched that part five times over, what a machine.  

Go ahead and give your imaginary waxed mustache a quick twist and click past the jump to climb aboard the ever classy Miss Daytona.
