    Well, he posts a lot of interesting pictures, but we never see any wet pictures or race results
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    wet shots, if ya can get a clip of film, with them and you goin over the same corse, 5mph is a bunch, should get a real good idea how and ware thay are do in it.
