Table of Contents Here is Peter Hunn's long-awaited portrait of the motors, boats, and people who created the special machines and exciting times that we remember today as stock outboard racing's Golden Age. The Golden Age of the Racing Outboard is a personal, nostalgic and most of all informative look at the fascinating motors that powered a generation of enthusiasts in races on lakes and rivers throughout America in the '40s and '50s. Today, those motors, the Mercurys, Johnsons, Evinrudes, Eltos, and others are sought-after collectibles that evoke a bygone chapter in America's sporting and boating culture. Whether you are a new or long-time collector, this is a book that you'll refer to again and again in the years ahead. In Golden Age, Peter Hunn explores: - The Golden Age's antecedents in the '20s and '30s
