The big one was the Excelsior. They also towards the end of their life did a "cheapie" version which I have and is mounted in a stirrup lashed to the pushpit.

Would not recommend for an outboard powered boat. They are a pain to stream and inevitably you will pick up the line with your prop and at the very least lose the spinner. You also need a different spinner for more than 8 knots.

They were designed for long passages in slow boats where they are better than guess work - they don't all give you speed only distance run.
