Black and white marketing photo of a Chrysler Charger 151 runabout taken from off its port quarter. A man steers the boat, while talking to a woman seated beside him. Behind them, another man and woman sit in the rear-facing seats. The boat's Chrysler 85 outboard motor has been retouched, highlighting its edges. A caption, previously taped to the verso, read:
For Use On or After Wednesday, August 21, 1968:
Most powerful 3-cylinder outboard -- Chrysler's all-new 85-horsepower model for 1969 is the world's most powerful three-cylinder outboard. Features of the engine include Magnapower, the highly efficient Chrysler ignition system; a new thermostat that provides absolute cooling control; and durable molybdenum-filled piston rings. The Chrysler 85's big-bore cylinders are fed by three individual carburetors, which bring fast response from the throttle.
