Anyone remember the late great Konig racing outboard engines? I had one
on a C-stock hydro I campaigned in the 50s. Great powerplant!

Love to hear about your campaign. Were you sponsored or was it amateur
racing? Any pictures of your boat?

The boat was a Swift, same as Dieter Konig ran. C-Stock Hydros are
10-footers. They *very* small boats taking skill and brass balls to run
at speed, particularly in a race. You are as close as it gets to the
water in speedboat racing. Those Konigs are museum pieces today, and
what a sound they made! We used castor bean oil in ours...gave off a
very distinctive smell. I've posted racing stories to the NG in the
past. Google C-Stock Hydro.

As to pictures, picture Krause in a Konig driven C-Stock hydro with his
infamous hand-eye and limited experience. Now that's an hilarious
picture. Takes a real waterdog to run those challenging craft in
competition. He'd mess his pants before the start line.

Nice pictures. Why don't you post some of your boat over in abpso. I
am sure you have some old pictures of you and your boat.

It would be nice to see you when you were young and had brass balls.

Yes, have some nice old movies in 8mm. Want to convert them some day.
What kind of racing do you do?
