Here are sixty-two color photographs of hydroplanes and racing runabouts doing what race boats do... wailing down the straightaways, bucking and skidding through the turns, and accelerating toward the finish line. Classes represented include Unlimited Hydroplanes and the smaller Limited hydros, from 48 cubic inch up through the thundering Seven Litre hydros. Included also are the wickedly fast racing runabouts such as the Super Stocks, Ski Racing Runabouts, E Racing Runabouts, the mighty K Racing Runabouts, and the crowd favorites, the Crackerbox Runabouts.
