...Horsepower Race. For power boaters, there was Triumph's 29-ft. inboard cruiser ($15,990) with a cantilevered aircraft-carrier foredeck and all-electric galley. And for less expensive tastes, Molded Fiber Glass Boat Co. showed a 19-ft. outboard cabin cruiser ($2,800) designed by famed naval architects Gibbs & Cox. Other plastic boats ranged from Sock Boat Corp.'s do-it-yourself runabout ($395), which can be assembled by a novice in 20 hours to the 8-ft. ($325) Dhow midget rowboat. In general, outboards had less chrome, fewer fins, increased storage for gas, paid more attention...
Quickly Pilot Baum took over, told Berke to help him roll the giant plane back to the left. The 707 came up straight and level, then rolled beyond to the left. With only the right inboard engine remaining, Pilot Baum thought fast, decided that he lacked the power to roll the plane back to the right, so, taking advantage of the momentum, turned the airliner into a maneuver for which it was never intended-a barrel roll.

...Last year Outboard Marine, a combine that makes well over half of all outboard motors in the U.S. through its Johnson. Evinrude and Gale divisions, produced $131 million in outboards. Chris-Craft's Harsen Smith does not consider the outboards a threat. Outboards. he feels, are to inboard boats as farm teams are to baseball's major-league teams. Says he: "It's the nature of boating to step up to a larger boat with sleeping room aboard...
...Rods & Greenhorns. The boat boom has brought really only one great menace-the hot-rodder, inboard and outboard, whose feckless abandon yearly kills and maims scores of other boatmen and bathers. New federal and state laws are now tightening requirements on registration and demanding strict adherence to traffic rules. Better still is the growing organization of Coast Guard Auxiliary and Power Squadrons, which give free instruction in seamanship, successfully instill a sense of pride in new boat owners...
