Parked in the sandy pit at Lake Mead with our American Eagle motorhome. I helped Troy Wood do work on Scott Gillmans boat. Dont really remember but I think Scott noise dived pretty bad at practice but Troy and I got the boat ready in time for the race. Maybe this was the year after..??
We did go to the Las Vegas race a few years and lots of fun with GG and others.
A picture of our motorhome outside Seebold racing 1996 and Carina went for a spinn with Mr. Bill..

We have also visited the Seebold family on the west coast of Florida a few times.
First a stop at Mr. Bills race shop outside Naples..
Mike just installed the new outboard for the Parker 25CC
The Seebold family is not using the outboard you think..
I do not understand why the Mercury factory do not supply Mr. Bill with a few free Mercury outboard..
Wake up Rick Mackie..supply Mr. Bill with outboards for life..!!..:cheers:
Well.. after helped out BRP as an Evinrude Ambassador I maybe understand..
Today's outboard factories are not the way they use be..:)
PS The last picture is my wife Carina next to the best selling outboard in the world.:confused:

You have never mentioned the OMC 2.0 litre crossflow they brought out in 1976.Quote:

Hi Lars the week before the 1976 Paris 6 hr race my job was to test a 2.0litre crossflow engine for the ON class which looked identical to the 2.5 OZ class crossflow engine just a smaller capacity i was told they only made one of them all the other engines for this race were loopers nobody seemed to have a interest in this engine or the correct props for me to try on it so we never got to know how good it really was and i think by this time they had made a decision to use the larger OZ class engine for the following year so all the engines for that Paris 6hr race were all 2.0 loopers.Quote:

OMC just made a 2 liter version of the 2.448 liter cross-flow to race in the 2 liter class in Paris 1976.
That makes sense but we all would love to see a close up of that original 2.0
