In 1957 Carl Kiekhaefer, founder of Mercury Marine, set an endurance record by running non-stop for 50,000 miles over 68 days on “Lake X” in Florida. “Lake X” a 1,400 acre body of water originally named Lake Conlin (near St. Cloud, Florida) was Mercury’s secret test area. They set the record using the newly developed 60HP Mercury Mark 75 – 6 Cylinder outboard installed on Raveau hulls.
