Excerpt from Motor Boats, Hydroplanes, Hydroaeroplanes: Construction and Operation With Practical Notes on Propeller Calculation and Design; An Illustrated Manual of Self Instruction for Owners and Operators of Marine Gasoline Engines and Amateur Boat-Builders Considerable space is devoted to the troubles that are likely to arise in running marine engines, and this will be found one of the most useful features of the book. The causes and symptoms of engine trouble are described at length and, as the proper remedies for all such cases are clearly indicated, this handy volume may often prove as indispensable as the fuel supply. If it thus adds to the pleasure and comfort of the motor boating fraternity it will not have been written in vain.

Excerpt: H1 Unlimited is an Unlimited Hydroplane racing league that is sanctioned by the American Power Boat Association (APBA), and Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM). Until 2009, the series was known as ABRA Unlimited Hydroplane, in turn renamed from APBA Unlimited Hydroplane in 2004. The H1 Unlimited season typically runs from June through November, consisting of six races. A hydroplane (or hydro, or thunderboat) is a very specific type of motorboat used exclusively for racing. One of the unique characteristics about hydroplanes is that they only use the water they're on for propulsion and steering (not for flotation) - when going at full speed they are primarily held aloft by a principle of fluid dynamics known as "planing," with only a tiny fraction of their hull actually touching the water. The unlimited hydroplane series was founded in 1946 when the unlimited class of boats was allowed to compete following World War II and the subsequent availability of surplus aircraft engines. It had been disbanded in 1922 in favor of the newly introduced "Gold Cup Class." The world's first sanction unlimited hydroplane race was held in 1903 in Queenstown, Ireland and was very modest by later race standards. That race was won by Dorthy Levitt, driving a 35 foot water craft powered 75 hp Napier engine which she won the race at an astonishing average speed of 19.53 mph! The boats were...
