Great picture …. All three have that special "this is fun” grin on their face. I would loved to have been the proverbial "fly on the wall" during that little gathering. Don't know who that is holding court? Maybe taken at Bristol?

I believe that is Charley Sheppard the organizer of the Bristol Race, talking to Bill and Earl.

Jackie Wilson would know if that is Charley.

We made the block, crankcase, chaincase, rods, crankshaft, flywheel, and numerous small parts at Merc Plant 4 for the 644. Had two big honkin' Tillotsen carbs. The Merc Exhibits department made a motorized cutaway of the motor, hid the motor inside the starter. That cutaway still exists - somewhere.

Can you envision the reaction of the other competitors.

An army of 6 Mercury trucks arrive in the pits, and everyone else is probably using their family car to haul their race cars on a trailer.

Paraphrasing Gene "unfair advantage".
However, that is life and competition.

An overall speed increase 0f 8.5% (by the winner) over the previous winner's time,
is substantial relative to modern day racing (in any professional racing league)

A golden era of Outboard Racing taking leaps in speed, due mainly to engine development and hull improvements.

We made the con rods for the 482's at Merc Plant 4. One operation was hand sanding the I beam longitudely, removing any left over forging marks or stress risers. One night one of the operators though he found a quicker way to sand them, he went across the I beam instead of the long way - took so much stock off we had to scrap a crap load of rods and start a batch from scratch, including getting new forgings from the vendor. Don't remember what happened to the employee, protected by the union so probably just a stike in the book.

"My Way" cowboys are not tolerated in this day and age. It's cool to experiment to find a better way, but it takes consensus of operators, technicians, engineers, QC and management to streamline processes. Be satisfied that at least Mercury still makes stuff themselves rather than parcel out on a sub contract. My ProXS V8 control binnacle came from South Korea?

...mercruiser brochure photo. possibly to promote the underwater thru-prop exhaust feature, that other sterndrives did not have. that thru-transom exhaust, as was on a lot of the small donzi's, like this little 16, is simply an option? not really a good idea to run a drive like this normally though, as the input shaft & u-joint assembly is always spinning, even while simply in neutral, and can nick the rubber bellows...
