Here it is
at last -- the book on racing outboards and the boats they powered.
The author spent several years interviewing those who lived the
Golden Age, or knew firsthand those who did. He's gathered their
stories and an incredible collection of photographs of engines
and boats. A "catalog" of racing outboards is just one
of the highlights. Included are models from Caille, Champion,
Chris-Craft, Cross, Elto, Evinrude, Hubbell, Johnson, Lockwood,
Martin, and others. The author was granted special access to the
photo archive of Hank Bowman who, in addition to covering races
for the Boston Globe and numerous boating magazines, drove incredibly
fast, skittish little hydroplanes until his unfortunate death
in 1966. This book will be a source of enjoyment and ongoing reference
for collectors, enthusiasts, and nostalgia buffs.
