In this 1956 TV episode, we view men wearing 6-gun shooters on their hips, and driving boats.
Twin Merc rigs we see at the beginning of the TV show, and at time lines 13:50 & 21:30.
Free advertising for Mercury Marine on a national television show.

...pretty need episode kid. you know roy had influence in putting together the storyline for that show & including the boats & mercury outboards. the boat drivers looked to be experienced too. they obviously filmed everything from shore, to save money & needed to be a touch closer in many of the shots. thanks for sharing...

Combs/Checkmate ......
Those are great pictures! Bill did everything at 90 mph, working or playing. Making it to 86 has to be a minor miracle . Back in the mid sixties, seems like the great FJ races were Checkmate vs. Allison or Checkmate vs. Hustler.
Got to love that Sonny Bono look he presented in that Checkmate advertisement.....Last edited by willabee; 12-03-2020 at 05:22 PM.

1st Outboard powered boat to achieve 100 mph in a race Jan Schoonover powered by Merc
Is this 1967 Switzer Wing rig driven by Jan Schoonover, the first Outboard powered boat to achieve 100 mph in a race?
This newspaper article claims, it was the first boat to record in a race, to achieve 100 mph.
In the race Odell Lewis is second, and Johnny Bakos is third overall.
Here is the Switzer Wing hull, at another race.
