Pretty interesting.

Very interesting. Those outboards look OLD.

I grew up in Henderson, Nevada. Every year, they had the Sahara Gold Cup
Races at Lake Mead. They were unlimited hydroplanes, and at that time, the
top of the line were the Allison V-16 airplane engines. Names like Miss
Bardahl, Miss Seattle, Miss Wahoo, and others that I cannot recall right
now. It was quite a spectacle, visible plainly from the public beach, free
to the public, and out on a huge open bowl of water.

I had never seen these smaller versions, but it look like it was quite a
production, and there's obviously a lot of dollars there. The background
even looks somewhat like Lake Mead.
