Outboard River Racer Hydros also navigate wild rivers at amazing speed! Designed similar to other outboard classes, the River Racer Hydros have a distinctive heavy rounded bow to keep them stable on rough water. The Cal-Ore River Racers typically run a series of West Coast marathon events each year on the Trinity, Rogue, Klamath and Willamette rivers.
These propeller-driven boats are powered by 44-cubic-inch, four-cylinder, 65-horsepower outboard Mercury motors with magneto ignitions. The propellers are vulnerable to rocks and debris in the water, so the drivers must know the course very well.
