    Chamberlain Ace Outboard...

    The one & only Australian built prototype "Chamberlain Ace" 4 cylinder 4 stroke twin overhead cam outboard in the late sixty's. It was just under 40 horsepower & caught fire during testing & never went into production, despite eight engines worth of parts being produced.

    Fuji, I once raced a Coventry climax 50 HP. four cylinder four stroke on the back of a 13' Blue Fin----- was damn near silent.-----but useless
    Problem was the weight ------far too much of it.
    The British navy bought a big bunch of them but disposed of them rapidly after the bottom ends dropped off due to corrosion and mixed metal problems
    Never ever heard of anyone else trying to race one of those----have you ?

    Looks like Mercury styling in the cowling.
