This is a great topic, but wow!!! Times have changed. Jerry Waldman once won A,B,C, D and F Hydro at one Nationals.

His F motor was considered BIG and BAD for the ear. Now days an STV River Rocket with a 300XS will run 20-30 MPH than Jerry's F Hydro.

Bob Nordskog once drove and E through kilo trails at 136 PLUS MPH with no capsule. Now days, offshore cats run almost 150 with five people on board.

Ever watch Guido Capellini drive a 2.0 liter Formula One Outboard....? WOW, WOW and WOW!

Tough topic here!

Single engine outboard driver: Johnny Sanders? Offshore driver: Betty Cook? Billy Schumaker in Miss Bardahl, 1967??? Ben Roberson, F1 driver, APBA Hall of Champons4-5 times, world's Fastest Vee Bottom of 165 MPH???

Jeff Lewis, 149 MPH with a 2.0 liter Merc in a home made hydro, no capsule. Oregon River Racer undisputed Champion...25 years running...
