Caille model 44 "Monarch" racer
“Monarch” model 44 a new racing model to compete in class C. The Monarch was below its maximum potential in class C because it was just 23.75 cubic inches, 6 ¼ cubic inches under the 29.99 limit for C motors. The bore was 2 3/4 by 2 stroke.
The Monarch used a single Tillotson MS21 carb, the Bosch ignition and the same tractor lower unit.

All packed up..and off to a boat race!
Sam- What a great picture! I get a kick out of the trailer! The point that this illustrates is that back in the mid-to-late 20's, they were doing the SAME thing that we are doing. Just a thought when we see these photos and laugh to ourselves- they did it 75 years BEFORE we did it!
The boats aren't Cute-Crafts... similar but Cute-Craft didn't have a stepped bottom. Cute-Craft had a concave bottom like a sea-sled. This might be a pair of Hooton step hydros.

Some things haven't changed
Some things just don't change. Look at these boats jammed up in the first turn in 1929 or 30.
In the second image see if you can help me identify the motors.
