Title The Go Ahead Boys and the Racing Motor-Boat
Credits Produced by Charles Keller. HTML version by Al Haines.
Summary "The Go Ahead Boys and the Racing Motor-Boat" by Ross Kay is a children’s adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around a group of four boys, known as the Go Ahead Boys, who embark on an exciting journey aboard a motorboat, the Black Growler, as they travel through the scenic waterways of New York in anticipation of thrilling motorboat races. Their camaraderie and adventurous spirit underline the novel's themes of friendship, exploration, and youthful enthusiasm. The opening of the book introduces the four main characters: Fred, the proud owner and pilot of the Black Growler; John, nicknamed "String," who provides a contrasting tall figure; Grant, dubbed "Soc," who is knowledgeable and often humorous; and George, referred to as "Pop," who adds to the group's dynamic. As they set off from Yonkers, the boys are full of excitement and banter, discussing their previous adventures and the looming boat races on the St. Lawrence River. The joyful exchange among the boys sets a lighthearted tone as they dream of victory in the upcoming contest, unaware of the challenges that will test their skills and friendship along the way.
