About 10 years ago someone found this picture and forwarded it to me because of my interest in Mark75H racing motors. The boat is an Airmarine Special copy and the motor is a 75H, but the location and date are unknown.

It was a long time before I got really good photo software and it never occured to me to go back and see if I could enhance it and bring up any hidden details. I did that today and came up with the number on the boat:

Anyone else ever see this picture? We have no idea where it came from.

Anyone have any idea who 77-A might have been?

Was it Alaska or Maine?

Are there Ice Bergs in the back ground?
