    Nice!
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    Yes, it is a Hustler. It's one of the Nardi brothers. The red boat is a Vampire.

    Yes, that's correct. My dad ran a sister to Nardi's except with wood running pad's.
    Harold Nauss put the pads on when the boat belonged to Duane Timm.
