Couple weeks ago I snagged these twenty-two 1905 issues of Power Boat News off Etsy...$5.00 each!!!!...had twenty two listings....bought um all...still can't believe it...The Lord blessed me...Basically I got the lion’s share of issues from spring thru summer 1905...at the beginning of the sport...The American Power Boat Association was formed on Feb. 1903...and the National Association of Engine and Boat Manufactures was formed in June 1904...so we're talking very early in the evolution...I'm still learning the ropes on early powerboat racing...but I speculate their could not be a more direct source of information on the subject from the period!!!!
