Cool and different looking ride... the driver would most likely be ‘lower’ with that configuration.

That’s a long time ago... you must be an old fart!!!

Are the pink spark plugs German and came with the motors originally?

Mikey...... You Da Man.... Deano.

On the restoration..... I think you should put the pink spark plugs back in!!! Really nice restoration.

What year is this Konig? Cool old motor.

R-22... Hubert ‘Hugh’ Entrop’s F Hydro... 6 cylinder Mercury..... 100+ mph. Designed and built by Hugh Entrop. Circa... early 1960’s.

Holy crap.

Ketzer, you have said it perfectly........

For sure they will not come from Washington DC.

Hello Chad Morgan,

In addition to the above reasons that you can not get 50 mph or so, your Glen L Mini Maxed is not a three point hydroplane.... a three point hydroplane creates an air tunnel...

Hello Artie The Old Mark 40H Guy,

And a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too. Yes, 2021 will be a very good year.

From an Old KG4 Guy, Dean Hobart....... Racing since 1962.

Go to dillon-racing.com......... and also just google search ‘tunnel boat plans’.... that will do it.

Wayne, why did he get ticked off at Papa Smith... Papa Smith was the nicest man I ever met. Thanks, Dean.

Any one coming to Bakersfield this coming weekend? Outboards or Inboards.

Contact Ron Hill who owns this site and is Hill Marine.... call him.

Ron, now that is some cool boat racing history. Keep it coming. Thanks.

A current 45 motor is in the 65 HP + or - minus a little... something like that. What is the HP of the 2011 Etec 2 cylinder motor?

How about the weight?

Thank you.

Congratulations RJ... just like your prior SST 45 results.

Hello, as mentioned before... have you contacted Ron Hill at Hill Marine yet... he can help you.

Call Ron Hill... Look in the ‘red’ on top... Hill Marine.

I am curious about the phrase...’the numerous times the Winrace boats being illegally copied during the years.’ Are the Winraced designs and boats “Patented”. On what basis have copying them been...

Yes... This is cool boat racing history.

Wayne,

Ok, my dad only did black and white in those days.... in the 1950’s... and before. I still have his picture albums... good stuff.

Dean...........

Wayne,

My dad used to do his own development and then printing and enlarging. He had a red light to work under so he could see. Is that something that is still used?

If memory serves me correctly... It was about that time period in the early 1970’s that APBA started their own Modified Outboard Division. Joann Ellis and her husband were the directors at that time....

Find someone who can put the powerheads on a dyno and get real results. That would be my recommendation.

I would say that 39 mph with a 25hp is really good. Yes, get Ron Hill to help you.

Yes, Mike Raich was the fast D ..... he set records at both Devils Lake, Lincoln City, Oregon... and Lawrence Lake, Yelm, Washington. He was fast for many years. Then Tom O’Neil with a short sponson...

Well there you go... Thanks Ron.

However I do know there were Catamarans prior to that, and I think they were the precursor to tunnel boats.

Then the next question is what would have been the...

Hello stingray240cs,

That is quite a nice collection..... Very cool.

Who makes your 4 Blade Propellers?

Now, that is some cool racing.

Very cool.... What boat builder and / or designs are you guys running? It’s great to see boat racing around the world.
