Hi,
There was two style cowlings in 1984..well three..Omc´s first one..like my boat # 8 or a more rounded one in the back like Molinari´s #18.
The one Molinari is using in this picture is a mix between OMC´s rounded and Renatos own design..

I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

Hi STEVERINO..That is a very good hard question to answer..1971 was my first year in racing..mostly local racing in Sweden..My best guess must be Roger Jenkins.. Originally Posted by STEVERINO
