    Default 1000 hydro

    Found some more pictured for the past racing years. I was always fond of the big hi-hp alky's. I just love the brute power of "F" Konigs and the sounds of the Quincy's. The first picture is of my brand new Pugh Hydroplane at Lakland Fl. This was the first time it would be put on the a race course. It was powered be a "F" Konig built by Dick O'Dea. It was a real animal, so much low end torque. With all this power you could muscle your way around the course. At that time we ran "Grand Prix" outboard which was anything up to 1100 cc. We wired the pipes in the up position as we never needed to pull them. This engine is long gone now sorry to say. Tha second picture is our 1100 Runabout taken in Hartford Conn. in 1978. It was a Quincy 75 H running on alcohol. It was a great reliable engine and only missed one heat due to a broken prop. We later ran the Konig on the runabout as it was faster.
