A Fascinating Look At Unbridled Ingenuity Without Responsibility ▼

I would like you to envisage what the ultimate super-high-performance boat would be. An apex predator at any location you chose to unleash it upon. Would it be the sensational 59-foot Cigarette Tirranna? Maybe it would be a boat from Marine Technologies, Doug Wright or Nor-Tech. Many would agree that all of those companies produce boats that represent the ultimate manifestation of the combination of cutting-edge marine technology, hull design and exhilarating performance. Those companies produce boats that have no equal among water speed-addicts and a presence that is ostentatiously magnetic, while casting aside the notion that money cannot buy happiness.

Many of you have probably seen the models that Maquetas Lanchas Pagliettini creates for his company, MLP Replicas, which creates small replicas of the boats owned by customers. The first MLP model I saw was a HydroStream V-King that looked so close to a real boat in detail that I was immediately astonished. I'm sure you can understand how quickly that caught my attention The level of detail and variety of model boats he has created is truly impressive.

I moved from New York to Florida in 2003, and as you might imagine, I was suddenly in a completely different world. I absolutely loved it - the weather, palm trees, clear waters, and most of all, the concentration of some of the fastest boats in the country. That was a big change for me in many ways, and Andy Frost's recent passing has me reflecting on his impact on my life and on this website.

Powerboat Drag Racing With A Focus on Accessibility and Safety ▼

When I began Scream And Fly over 20 years ago, I knew nearly nothing about powerboat drag racing and most especially, outboard-powered drag boats. I thought it was essentially a powerboat version of car drag racing, and there might be little else to distinguish them in terms of the experience of seeing and racing in outboard powerboat drag races. That notion was abruptly put to rest when I attended my first organized drag boat races, which was the Outboard Drag Boat Association World Championship races at Jasper, Tennessee in 2002.

HydroStream V-King Returns to Metalflake Glory!▼

Classic HydroStream boats are all old now, and most of them are at a point where they need serious restoration to bring them back to their original state of glory. Like any restoration of a classic vehicle, the result is truly a statement of the talent and resourcefulness of the restorers.

I don't think anybody here that knows Ronnie Holzmacher knows how incredible these photos will be. I've known Ronnie over 20 years and I'm always amazed by his work, and being that he did his magic on a HydroStream, that made me pretty excited. Brian Carhart replaced the floor and stringers, and I hope Brian and Ronnie will jump in here with more details. When was the last time you saw metalflake that awesome? I just love metalflake!

The Evinrude 1932 Full Product Catalog

Evinrude's 1932 catalog is particularly large and comprehensive, and in my opinion, one of the most interesting and detailed in their early history. The product range covers the Sportwin 4HP up to the four-cylinder 36HP Speedifour.

In 1932, a four-cylinder production outboard engine making that much power was state-of-the-art in marine technology. Just as interesting to me is their Propello-Vacuum cooling system, which utilized hollow cavities in the propeller to create suction that pulled water into the lower unit and through the engine for cooling. Not counting the propeller, the system had no moving parts. But of course, this system could only function on an engine that had no neutral or reverse gearshift. Once again, keeping in mind that this was almost 90 years ago, options such as a pressurized fuel primer and compression relief for easier starting were impressive on a consumer product.

With most of us on home lockdown now I know that can create boredom very quickly.

It begins now, and it will be a quick one so make sure you enter! So here we go!

A Collection of Nearly 20 Years of HydroStream Photos▼

The recent passing of HydroStream creator Howard Pipkorn represented a tremendous loss of not only a man that defined an entire culture of performance boat enthusiasts, but a person that cared a great deal for the people that remain loyal to HydroStream boats decades after the company shut its doors.

The HydroStream Power Tour really illustrated just how active and passionate HydroStream owners still are today, with Pipkorn himself attending with his Virage!

A Look Back at an Extraordinary Day in Marine History ▼

Major product launches are huge affairs, often resembling a stage show at an arena rock concert. They have to be, in order to achieve the maximum impact, leaving members of the press feeling not only positively impressed, but exhilarated. However, no matter how impressive the press event, if the star of the show - the product being introduced - does not match or even exceed the buildup of excitement, the entire experience falls flat, and that's not the impression that any manufacturer wants to leave in the minds of the boating industry press.

The Supercharged Super-Outboard That Has No Equal ▼

Fifteen years ago when Mercury Marine introduced the revolutionary Verado outboard, it not only signified a new approach to four-stroke engine potential, but it was also a bold insight into Mercury’s charted trajectory for future outboard engine development. Mercury was going to apply their engineering mastery toward developing new technologies, not just making existing outboard engine designs better, but by reinventing the four-stroke outboard entirely. The new Mercury Racing 450R is not only a stunning example of the culmination of that effort, but a product that is just as closely identified with all of Mercury Racing’s legendary race-driven history of defining what a high-performance outboard is. The 450R is simply an engine that has no equal. To put it another way, it is a lean, mean, dopamine-producing machine.
