    No, I was thinking of the boats they ran for the introduction in Miami and then at Parker. I thought I had good color pictures of them in my file, but apparently I do not.

    I believe the Posey Paris is the Johnson RC boat but the white Windermere isn't.

    Tonight we are guests up at the top of Monteagle, TN.
    Drove by the old OMC factory in Calhoun, GA
    The highway sign is still there.

    Powerheads. The first (1986) V6 225 HP 2.7 liter 90 degree looper was built there. Lots of quality problems the first few years in Calhoun.

    All these 2.0 litre OMC outboards ran the V4 clubfoot lower unit but 2yrs later at Brugge we had a Cougar outfit with the same engine that ran with a 1 to 1 lower unit in sprint races it was around 12 MPH faster than these outfits.I can remember Bob Hering in 1977 when he left Mercury to race for OMC and first drove the 2.5 crossflow outboards when he came to Brugge the first question he asked is where are the 1 to 1 lower units.

    Well..a hole in the boat ended the race early.

    Bob Hering in Paris 1976. His first race with OMC.

    This is from the 1976 Johnson sales brochure when the production 200 V6 2.448 liter cross flow was introduced.
