Beautiful Powerboat Engines

Photo from Boyne Thunder Poker Run July 8 2011.

This is a powerboat event to benefit a children camp.

The engines are not so clearly visible from this angle. But I thought it was interesting from this angle. This is a cat that is why the engines are so far apart.

Here is a close up of the engine from the same boat.  I cannot even imagine what it takes to keep such a clean engine. Beautiful.

Triple Red Outdrives

Powerboat Poker Run

Boyne, Michigan

I'm not sure what it is about these triple red outdrives that strikes me.  Perhaps it is fire engine red color.  Or the fact that they are so shiny and new. They also seem very solid and durable. And I cannot leave out the steel bars that link the three of them. Nothing flimsy here.
