High Perf OMCs over the years.

**1BadAction** · 12-10-2011, 02:42 PM

How about getting a thread together on the various race or high perf motors OMC has made in the past? Stinger, Super Strangler, RS, Formula 1, SST, GT, etc, they were all great lookin motors and almost all of them were different designs and color schemes. My dad had an orange stinger back in the day and that thing drew attention everywhere we went, being the AW that I am, I have loved the special edition OMC motors ever since.

Maybe if we can get some pictures (and possibly some paint codes?) together in a single thread, it'll help the guys trying to build or restore these things.

Anyhow, my favorite race motor...

My favorite "hot" fishin motor is a toss up between the Fastrike eagle loopers and the White Heat Xflows, and I can't find a decent pic of either of them.

For some reason I believe that is a little more than 135, maybe 140ish!

Great picture. I remember it. Notice the canard wing on the front of the boat. Evidence of the drivers/builders wondering what the hell to do w/all this power/speed on boats never designed for it.

OMC thread, Jim you into the jegar again?

cool thread, I love the old stuff!

**1BadAction** · 12-11-2011, 07:39 PM

LOL, no Jägermeister for this guy (not anymore, anyways hehe)

and just cause I used to troll the OMC guys doesn't mean I don't like the motors. There was more than one morning I got everyone wound up, then 20 minutes later jumped in an aquasport with a single Ocean Pro and ran about 20 miles out into the gulf, lmao.
