Louder than the Baz Viper ! ! !
Discussion
but it ain't a viper 
for the last 3 saturdays there's been a loud droning sound coming from the sea nearby (loud inside my flat!) and i've been straight to the clifftop / pier to check it out.... there have been some seriously quick and fairly loud speedboats out ocassionally testing in Bournemouth bay through the last few years, but three weeks ago i saw this powerboat for the first time... it can be heard very loud and clear all round the bay to Swanage and probably 1/2 a mile inland...and what a sound! can't trace it on the P1 powerboat w/site from it's graphics, but it might just be appearing in the world sea grand prix championship this year - i'll definitely be checking it out at Cowes (didn't realise there was a Powerboat grand prix that week). think it's a pair of V8s, 8-12ltr... atleast one other in the championship is running 2x 8300cc V10s thru Ilmor... the Viper blocks under another name?...if so, they're not telling us something because each is putting out 625hp! it's doing around 100mph and drinking 1gal/mile
if you've got a decent hi-fi nearby, plug it in!
