Why does my signature line say "Quiet White Thunder" in reference to my engines? OK, so no one asked, but I'll answer anyway!

Rather than "roaring cathedrals" or anything cool like that, the engines on my boat are rather quiet. I had hoped for a sound that was more like a truck, but the big boys are actually pretty quiet. In fact, the loudest noise you'll hear on this video is my Dad and my wife yacking to each other.

I actually thought maybe you were a fan of the 80's rock band called "Quite Riot" and you do some play on words from the song "Cum on Feel the Noize" or something regarding your diesel engines....

:grin:

Actually, my CATS are genrally quite tame and held to a mellow "purrrr"..... with hatch down that is....but as soon as I lift that hatch.......man them kittys Roar.....
 
Ohhhhyeahhhhhh. I think your turbos are spooling up at the 12-13 second mark of the clip. Gotta love the little turbo whine and the sense of getting pushed back in your seat.

Sweet.
