Other Small Sport Boats Sites - Under 20 feet If you know of other small sport sites Please email, so that we can post them here. Click Here Build in Wood - Kits and Plans Great history, great reading The Famous Lake X Classic Raveau Wood Hull and Mercury outboard that drove 50,000 miles non stop. Thanks for signing our guest book. Four boats were used for the 50,000 mile run. Two boats ran together for 25, 000 miles. The run was stopped and the motors were disassembled and inspected. It was determined they could run another 25,000 miles so they were mounted on two new Raveaus that were 1 foot longer. This was done to handle the rougher water that was being encountered in the late Fall of the year. All the boats survived well and one was later raced in several races by Jim Hunt, another set a speed record with a Merc 600 engine, driven by Joe Cash, several years later.
