It's a USA challenge boat of the era..

Is that Gar Wood's Miss America X thinking. This boasted four Packard V12 aero engines. Inline pairs had their crankshafts directly coupled and carefully phased to allow them to function as V24 units, a feat Packard said was impossible. Each of the four was capable of 1600 hp scared allowing it to be the first to exceed 125 mph!
