Got into racing boats as well. Really liked that. I had a place on the
riverfront in Maryland where we raced outboards. I had a D Utility made
by Sid Craft in New Brunswick New Jersey powered by a KG9 Mercury
running a quicksilver lower unit with an Oakland Johnson racing prop.


I used to work with a guy who raced antique outboard hydroplanes.

I was blown away with how fast one of those things went with so little
power. That takes nuts! G
