Wow... That would be my dream boat. I've always loved wooden boats.

If I read it right...these v16s never ran in the boat. It campaigned with v12 Packards.....they resided in the boat for a short time, had a failure, were pulled and sold.....
Just a little bit of salemanship going on. Also the Miller's were originally Super charged....the pics show a crapload of carbs....with no blowers....they're inna a box with the other parts. Pic don't show any shafts or props.....project from hell.

What a waste of some beautiful wood work.

Didn't sell. I believe bidding stop around 700k. They announced it would take over a million to buy it.
