Summary: Very good book on the early history of outboard racing
Review: A very good book on the early history of outboard racing. Not too technical so no one will be scared off or bored with details. Peter Hunn's writing style makes it especially easy to read.

Summary: A Well Done History Of Outboard Racing
Review: As a former outboard racer, APBA Stock and NOA Am Pro and Pro, I found this book to be very well done. Mr. Hunn did his homework. Based on my experiences, I could add a few things but overall a great work.
The book was a real memory maker for me. I worked for Hubbell Motors and raced in California and Michigan from 1956 until 1969 and won one national championship in B Alky Hydro at Sanford Michigan in 1966. If you love racing outboards, you will love this book.

Summary: A Wealth of Information!!
Review: This book offers great reading, works as a fairly comprehensive reference material, and as always, Peter's anecdote's add much color to the names, places and dates contained. There is a nice mini-biography on Hank Bowman, and plenty of other colorful characters from the world of outboard boat racing. Lots of great information on the motors and boats, too. If you're a fan of the 1950s outboard boat racing scene, this book is a MUST have! If you're a collector of old Mercury outboards, this book is a MUST have! If the sound of a pack of Mark 20H Mercs going into the first turn sends shivvers down your spine, then this book is a MUST have! Well worth the money! Get your wife to buy it for you for Christmas!
