Packard-powered X24 Speed Boats

Hi All,

I am a scuba diver and wreck hunter here in New England.

A man recently told me about a boat that was supposed to have been powered by the Packard X24 engine-this wild X-like design with 24 cylinders-amazing.

Does anyone know anything about what I am calling the X24 boat(s)?

Part of the story is that they were prone to sinking because they would pop boards/planks on the hull. One that is supposed to be here in Lake Winnipesaukee sank more than once and was floated each time to run another day. I would guess too much torque on the hull, thus twist-and-pop.

I do have a wreck on side-scan-sonar that my buddy dove for me while my eardrum recovers from a puncture; He reported it has massive twin engines in it-I am thinking MAYBE it's this "X24" boat I am looking for.

Any help much appreciated.
