Dave Little
I began racing Stock Outboards in 1965. My first boat (17-S) was an A’Utility (ASR).
The boat was a Hal-Kelly kit called a “Foo-Ling”, and it was powered by a KG-4 Mercury.
I took third place in my first race and I was hooked!

Cooper Jess
This is Cooper Jess. I was eight when my Grandfather took me to a Stock Outboard
race at Winneconne, Wisconsin. I was hooked instantly, with my liking the water,
boats, and mechanical stuff I knew I wanted to try this. My grandfather got us a
couple “pond runners” with Quickies for the next few years and we continued to go
to some of the local races as spectators. I didn’t convince my mother to let me
try actual racing until I was 14. I started in the A Stock Hydro class with APBA.
