    Pretty sure it is the motor Lars says. I think it would have been a legal "R" class rig.


    What year was the pic of Ingebretsen's Moli taken? Its a beautiful boat, and a fantastic picture.
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    Default Does Anyone Really Realize How Fast This Boat Went???

    No capsule.... With Brad MIller's Crazy Horse, on a 125 MPH Keller, seems I saw 122 MPH. After Parker 1979, I parked that boat and never got in a tunnel again.

    I remember Bill Seebold calling my Dad from wherever Billy first blew over in a capsule. Seems like it might have been Parker or Havasu. Bill was telling my Dad how much difference that capsule made. He was telling it like a bad blowever was just about like a cakewalk. Billy had no injuries.

    Default Water Brakes

    Note the water brakes on Ingebretsens boat . I remember when the when they tried this they must not have worked out to well only saw a few boats with them . Sam Hemp had them on a DSH one time i think they might have been for show are he may have tried them i'am not sure.

    Somewhere in one of my Powerboat & Waterskiing magazines is a picture of Renato Molinari's boat coming apart after he applied water brakes he had just mounted on his boat. I believe it was at Bristol, England.

    Tried that on my Mod 50. It was like either all or nothing! Imagine locking up your brakes every time you wanted to slow your car. I never ran them in a race.

    It was either 1978 or 1979, The same Clinton Iowa race as the first couple of pictures on this thread.

    The boats from this era in OZ due to the brakes they put on them. most of them exploded sooner or later.
