cool,i just got a new boat and we are looking for new places to go,kinda getting sick of regina beach.i also hope to have my dads old molinari race boat up and running this year.he is coming out this summer,and i want to give it back to him as a gift.i also have a 23 cougar mtr w/twin 300x and its hard to find parts in regina,can you reccomend a good parts outlet for me?thanks in advance,jamie cascadden

What kind of parts are you looking for? All my engines are inline 6 , so I find most of my parts on ebay or sites like this . It seems to take forever to get anything at the dealerships . I'm going to try Iboats, they have good prices , the shipping is up front and they say includes the brokerage fees . What year is the Molinari and what power do you have on it? Glen

molinari is a 72 dad raced in s class for team evinrude v-4 99.9cc and very loud but neat boat.the boat dad actually raced was a pinel but nobody knows what the hell that is,so i just say its a molinari.i know what you mean about the local stores and parts.i told one guy at a local dealership what kind of engines i have and he told me that they cant be merc motors beacause they did not list them in his book lol.thanks for the reply,jamie

I have a 18' Molinari of that vintage or couple years older with a 1250 BP and a Twister 2. The Molinari and 1250 BP are in rebuild status and the T2 is on a 14' Cobra sidewinder replacing a shortshaft 1500 that's in rebuild.The Molinari was raced by Oley Burkis from team merc , maybe these boats were on the same course back in the 70's .
