This is a Bugatti you can take to your sunday pelican-watching hobby in complete safety. Thank you, Ferrucio!

When I worked at America's Packard Museum in Dayton, Ohio I had a guest tell me this crazy story about the WW2 PT Boats and Packard marine engines.

PT Boats in WW2 were fitted with 3 Packard V-12 Marine engines. They were incredibly fast, by design; it's WW2 out-running the Battleship you just attacked and torpedoed is important.

After the war, there were some surplus PT boats available, one of which wound up in the hands of this guests relative, or friend's relative/he knew about it somewhere on the East Coast.

The owner of said boat would take it out and have fun at high speed, because it was hilariously fast. That is, until the Coast Guard/Local Maritime Authorities finally caught up to him one day and asked him to remove one of the engines, as his boat was too fast, faster than their pursuit vessels and they didn't appreciate it.

Probably apocryphal, almost certainly BS. Hilarious to think about, and it makes for a great story.
