    Unusual photo

    I posted this in general discussion but thought some of you here may have information on this one. A four-cylinder ELTO powering a small boat that is pushing this glider.

    That is boating content. I believe this site sadly switched to political nonsense content some time ago.

    I have seen this picture before. I think it is pretty old. Probably from before WWII.

    WORLD”S FIRST 4-CYLINDER, TWO-CYCLE OUTBOARD - In 1928, after 6-years of experimentation and development, Ole introduced the Super ELTO Quad. At 18hp, the 4-cylinder QUAD could push racing hydroplanes to over 45 mph. Quite fast for the time when a typical top speed for autos would have been 60 mph. The ELTO Quad later became the Evinrude 4-60 racing engine and that became the WWII Evinrude ‘Storm Boat Motor’. Modified from 60 to 50 horsepower and from 6000 rpm to 5000 rpm, the military version featured a bipod that allowed it to be placed in the middle of special Storm Boats that could carry eight soldiers at planning speeds.

    Right on! When politics and skin are on the increase, I stop visiting this site and find something else to do for a couple of months. This site got dinged several months ago for skin images. Too bad a "politics" filter doesn't exist?
