In the late 1940s and early 1950s, my father was a "professional" boat

a living at it. He didn't. But...he had factory sponsorship. He raced
outboard hydroplanes and "utility" runabouts. For some reason, the
engines he was supplied put out a lot more horses than the stock motors
many competitors bought from their dealers. I wonder why. :}

I raced hydros out west in the 50s. Never heard of your father. You got
any proof you can post that he competed in one of them minor East Coasts
circuits?
