John Sherlock in I believe a Schultz probably about 1977 or 1978. Sherlock was a dominant SJ driver and excellent set up guy.
I remember him winning with this rig in Valleyfield 1978.

Merc 650 XS on a Seebold SE hull.
The 650 XS was a legal engine for use in Canada in both the V-bottom FE class and the tunnel SE class.

I think APBA never allowed these motors in the Production or Sport E class. Homer Greene was running a Mod 50 boat that may have been running one but with a Speedmaster lower unit. I never saw one with a propjet unit.

I thought the 650XS was fully homologated for APBA, it was the Speedmaster versions that weren't, the 650X and 700X

I think the 650X and 700X were kind of the engines that started the APBA MOd 50 class ?? Some of the early Merc MOD 50 drivers were Homer Greene, Jim Caldwell, Curt Todd and Mike Seebold.

Was happy to build a 650X many years ago, but never got a boat to run it on........."gave" it to Bernie B. and he's had fun with it. Not to offend the Mercury camp, but I feel the OMC Mod 50 motors cerrtainly dominated this arena. Here's a couple of Mod-50 rigs from the 70's

Were the SSM versions really built by the factory or put together by racers? I can't recall ever seeing the SSMs in the HiPerf catalogs? Neat idea but never had a chance against the OMC Mod 50 or OMC Sport E 3 cyl.

I ran a 3cyl 650 in 1972 and 73. I mostly ran it in E Production but the OMCs just had more grunt for those heavy boats. I also ran it a few times on a SE boat where it was quite competitive up through 1973. Bobby Drewery and I ran 1&2 at the 73 Nationals in 73. In 74 OMC bumped up the power of the 3 cyl loopers and that was it for Mercury in the E classes.

The 650X and 700X were in the catalogs. They use their own special midsection and the powerheads were built up at the factory from diecast fishing blocks, unlike the 650XS block that was sandcast. You would have expected it to be the other way around.

You are correct, they didn't stand a chance against the loop charged OMC.

You are correct, they didn't stand a chance against the loop charged OMC.

Not here in Canada in the late 70's and early 80's, our Merc 650 XS's were very competitive against the 75hp Johnrudes in both the FE and SE classes. In both 1978 and 1979 our SE National Champion was powered by a Merc 650 XS (and I think in 1981 and 1982 as well).
Back then the SE class had the most boats registered in our Canadian Sprtscraft racing division.

I think this was the end of the line of magneto ignition motors. No matter how well you setup a mag the Thunderbolt ignition motors ran better. I ran one of these 500 for while but found the CDI motor I replaced it with better instantly.

Can someone esplane just what all that stuff - tubes, hoses, etc.- under there is. i assume the exhaust passes thru the middle of it all but is there an oil tank too?

Oil sump is in the driveshaft housing.

It's the ONLY way to check the oil level. Anybody lifted one of these cowls off lately? It's not anything like cowls made thru the late 90s. Durable, access door and latching mechanism are aircraft quality. Makes an old inline cowling look Fred Flintstone primitive. Only problem is its weight. Must weigh 45-50 pounds. Make sure to have a stable place to stand when lifting one of these off a floating boat! I think they are made with standard resin infused glass? If Merc wants to get some weight out of their V8s quickly, an autoclave carbon fiber cowl would be the way to get there. Forget the cost. Well worth it vs boosting a 45+lb cowl. Damn near a two-person job!

The hardware might be “aircraft quality”, but a 45-pound cowling is a disregard of aerospace’s motivation towards weight reduction. That V8 engine package is a brute in weight, and comparable to its retail price.

I guess the simplicity of the 2 Stroke, was a more price friendly engine. Bye, bye 2 cycles, you are heading toward memories past, like 3 gallons of gasoline for a Dollar.

This pic is Boots winning the outboard division while finishing 2nd overall at the Parker 9 Hour in 1969. He and Jim Merten ran a flawless race resulting in the best finish ever for an outboard in that event. I always enjoyed being around him, he was quite the character. My nickname for him was "Animal". He owned a marina in Oshkosh and had an OMC dealership. A couple of years after Parker, he and a buddy bought Wings with 1250 stackers from Merc Racing and used them to go bar hopping! It was always a fun sight to watch how people sitting in a restaurant would react to the sound of those Wings running in full song and then the sight of them screaming towards the dock. :D
