Interesting concept applying it to an outdrive, I guess that makes it patent-worthy. Variable pitch propellers are not new, remarkable, or out of the ordinary in large ships...

[RogerH]

OK you Mercury I6 experts, I need your help! The pictured motor is a collection of parts that came from collection of race items from Dave Packer out of Rome, NY. I'd like to know more about the 2 into 1 exhaust shown, especially the details of the exhaust chest components. Is it similar to the 3-stack factory system, with fillerblock and manifold? Any details would be appreciated. I want to put this back together as accurately as possible. It does NOT have any of the parts that would integrate the exhaust pipes to the motor's block. HELP!!! - Roger

I've never seen a gauge like that before...was it made for the US market?

That looks like the set up they used on Merten's record run...

[RogerH]

Yes it was. Here's another usage with Morgan carbs

Roger—the original pic looks like a 93” 1100—??

[RogerH]

Jim, It was purchased for parts as it was a display motor for a museum...and not complete inside - especially the exhaust manifold items.

The exhaust pictured above was designed for the C6 and first raced in Havasu in 1970. Dr. Ted Morgan had two open pipe exhaust systems fabricated for the Morgan six carb inline, a single pipe and a twin pipe. The single pipe was not , repeat not the system used when Merten set the single engine outboard record in 1973 ..... the two pipe system proved to give him a little more top end.

Answers to your questions regarding this system are already documented on the 'Hot Singles' thread. Start with post #1697 talking about the single pipe and continue through #1721 which contains pictures of the system not assembled to the block. Hope this helps. :thumbsup:

Heard these things were a death trap to drive...........either the driver survived with 1 or 2 broken legs or worse..............

to make a comment like that,for sure, you never drove one. from someone who set competition records and won many many races in one, i can tell you they were not death traps. you might want to reevaluate your sources. you do not live to race 25 years driving death traps.

I agree with Jim I drove one with a BP it really handled pretty well. The only bad thing I remember that it had a manual trim that you had to hand pump that got old.

had a bp on mine to start with. set a 5 mile competition record in u class before power trim. then put a stacker powerhead on it. still no trim.

I never got to see you drive this one but I do remember the great battles you had with Jim Everett in JP at Lake Alford and Lake Hollingsworth. Some of the best I can remember always a pleasure to watch.

Sources? Try the gossip / rumor pit at local races(LOL)..........am actually glad to hear this myth get cleared up. Since you actually had one, from the look of the photo, it looks like the racing top / cowl was attached to the existing deck lines of the production hulls (Challenger / Contender). Is that how CT 15's were built?
I actually saw a Challenger (14 ft) at a dealer once but never saw the bigger one (16 ft Contender). Were these boats just "stretched" (hull length) or did they have unique beam dimensions.

This is the one that will give you two broken legs. A 10 foot GW Invader with a Merc 800. I think these were rated for a maximum of 35 hp.
