One of the first outboards I remember was Grand Daddy had the 70 in those colors on a yellow Ranger.
Thanks for sharing Greg.
Btw, did anyone else notice that they had the V6 for racing but not for consumer?

The one thing that I always found interesting was that old 40 design that OMC carried over into the Commercial Series for many years. That was a 1950s design and it soldiered on until the early 80s. And also how it later acquired that strange cruciform lower unit, which was designed presumably to protect the propeller from underwater impact.

Absolutely! When I was a kid I lusted for a Boston Whaler 13 with a 35 on it!
I wondered though, how come OMC had the newer thru-hub design on the 35 (and later the 30), yet they retained the older over-prop exhaust design for the 25? They kept it that way all the way up until 1985, and while the 25 did get the updated lower midsection and lower unit in 1985, the Commercial Series 25 kept that older design for a number of years after. The 25 was essentially the very same engine as the 35, with different carburetor jets and other minor changes I assume. I always wondered why OMC kept those two engines different in such a way, even though they were the same basic platform.
This is from the 1984 Evinrude brochure:

These catalogs are great, I remember as a kid wanting a 9.9 or 15 so bad i had allways thought the fat 9.5 was ugly.I still think the 9.9/15 was one of the all time greatest outboard designs, they were so compact and the 15 had amazing power. I remember too wondering why the 25 and 40 took sooo long to get prop exhaust, but was told when i went to the omc training center after high school that they kept production for so long because there were tons of the 25 and 40 hp engines all over the world in under-developed countries and the old design could be easily to maintained in the field, what was it 6 screws and the bottom of the foot was off and the gears/ clutch dog could be changed in 10 min.. Also the reverse power was better for pulling fishing nets and stuff like that. Dave

you could run the 25 in a stock class very high but without LWP
In Australia the class was doing 50mph in the late 70's
3rd world also wanted shear pinsLast edited by powerabout; 10-15-2015 at 05:42 AM.
