Book excerpt: This bygone age of outboard motor racing--the late 1920s to the early 1960s--is vividly captured in this all-encompassing reference. The origin of outboarding's great popularity--including its heyday race down the Hudson River to New York City--is featured, in addition to an in-depth look at Mercury Marine’s racing efforts and the company’s famous boss, Carl Kiekhaefer, and his "green onions.” Also included are lists of kit boats and plans and a glossary of terms to help enthusiasts new to the field.
