Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.
I heard it ran on diesel or gas too!
Rich,
Are you sure! I believe it ran on Methane gas obtained from Mid-West feed lots!
John:
Ahhh yes the Methane gas moment, you only heard Edgar's earlier secret tapes after his bratwurst and beans dinner...... The hydrogen part came later in the design process.....

Believe it could be refueled with this thread
Beale:
Not possible. This was all down well before the internet started. There were no provisions to harness hot air from a world wide computer network built into the concept....but it certainly could have been updated if only Steve Jobs had lived a little longer.....
You'll have to excuse me now as I have to resume my cataloguing of every prop nut vendor and part number in outboard racing's history......

OBSOLETE AND PROUD OF IT
Hiya Rich, Been away from this site too long and had forgotten about the Staudanari and the 10 liter hydrofart. That thing had a fifty foot afterburn that was positively lethal, whenever anyone ran behind it , they were badly singed and many drivers had to be given mouth to mouth and a shot of J/D to revive them.APBA had a rule about alky levels during competitions and once burned and cured by the MTM/J/D method, referee's were very strict and insisted on trying the cure for themselves before allowing racing to continue. Stickle is a prime example of the results of being a referee.
The hydrofart was another. Of the short lived inventions.
Came across this pic from Bristol Docks of Jackie chatting to Gary Garbrecht.
