Synopsis: |
Lakes and rivers throughout America once echoed with the buzz of outboard motors powering a variety of runabouts and hydroplanes, many crafted by the owners themselves. This bygone age of outboard motor racing -- the late 1920s to the early 1960s -- is vividly captured in this all-encompassing reference. The origin of outboarding's great popularity including its heyday race down the Hudson River to New York City is featured, in addition to an in-depth look at Mercury Marine's racing efforts and the company's famous boss, Carl Kiekhaefer, and his 'green onions'. Also included are lists of kit boats and plans and a glossary of terms to help enthusiasts new to the field. |
