    Historic “F” Outboard Raceboats

    Any info on the boats shown in the attached photo would be great! Who built them, drove them, or did they actually exist? Boat #’s are: 101-A, P-87, 505-D, J-50, S-301, H-111, M-905, W-4, US, X-1, R-17X, B-1, R-333, R-152, R-100, N-500, Q-850, N-197, G-305, V-700.
    The artist is Gregory Blackstock. In addition to the original posters, he has an art book available (featuring a few pages of historic outboards) at Amazon.com.

    Thanks,

    Jimi O. (305-R)

        "my bad". no posters are available. I was fortunate enough to spend like a zillion dollars for an original. The book on Amazon has reprints of "Historic D Outboards", a different drawing of "Historic F Outboards", and "Early Seattle Gold Cup Hydroplanes", along with other interesting stuff.

            Savant

            Arn't we all (boat racers) a little bit savant?
