Not just purpose-built race boats for sanctioned American Power Boat Association (APBA) or National Outboard Association (NOA) events, most of these races specified competitors to use stock, commercially-available outboard &quot;family&quot; runabouts. Venues varied from offshore, near-shore, river, to inland lake events, often running into the hundreds of miles. These events were a true test of boat, motor, and driver. Following are a list and short history of stock boat marathons. <br /> <br /> ==Alaska to Seattle Outboard Marathon==<br /> <br /> ==Albany-New York Outboard Marathon==<br /> Run on the Hudson River.<br /> <br /> ==Colorado River Marathon==<br /> <br /> ==Connecticut River Outboard Marathon==<br /> <br /> ==Finger Lakes Marathon==<br /> A 68-mile course on Seneca Lake, making a round-trip between Geneva and Watkins.<br /> <br /> ==Gold Coast Marathon==<br /> <br /> ==Greenville-Vicksburg Outboard Marathon==<br /> A 105-mile course <br /> <br /> ==Jacksonville 100-Mile Marathon==<br /> Sponsored by the Jacksonville Junior Chamber of Commerce and sanctioned by the Florida Outboard Motor Association. 1929-?<br /> <br /> ==Key West to Havana==<br /> <br /> ==Around Long Island Marathon==<br /> <br /> ==Miami to Bimini==<br /> <br /> ==Milwaukee-Chicago Marathon==<br /> A 96-mile route on Lake Michigan.<br /> <br /> ==Peoria-St. Louis==<br /> <br /> ==St. Louis - New Orleans Stock Outboard Boat Marathon==<br /> <br /> This marathon was sponsored by the Mid-America Racing Association, sanctioned by the APBA.
