    god that is even uglier than a old perkins outboard.
    its a bit like a itchinfanny 250 from the far eastern block where nobody would moan about its ugliness.

    just think, some poor soul was probably on a 10 year waiting list to be allowed it, then threw a party and
    sacrificed a goat to celebrate its arrival !!!!!!!!!!!!

    2 years later his cousin ichycough was allowed to have a petrol tank for it and coupons to buy 5 litres
    of pure top grade best russian petrol from the great Siberian oil depot at 1 million rubles a spoonfull.

    Then they found out they dont own a boat, so made one from the skin of a passing yak and an old tree from
    the forest that his ancestors used to hunt for the meat to feed the yak to pull the cart to get to forest !!!!!!!

    Wow great photos! Where were they taken? Were you there? What's the racing like? The hulls look like tunnels or are they hydros?

    Yes, they run them on tunnels in eastern Europe - Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Czech Republic. The motors are kind of a hybrid between Scott-Atwaters and Konig fishing motors.
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.
