Was at a long time dealer yrs ago who had a similar motor but I think 2 cyl.
Also for the military.
Had a giant steering whrel mounted to its top and allowed 360* steering like their smaller
motors.
Had an attic full of antiques including a very early electric start motor.
Thirties vintage I think.

Evinrude - Johnson outboards. Facts, history, racing and future.
1939 Evinrude Model 6042 “Hex-Head Racer” This 30 cubic inch opposed twin class “C” motor was the final evolution of the Speeditwin racer from OMC and essentially consisted of the best racing technologies from the OMC stable at that time. It used the six-bolt cylinder heads that were first used on the Speedy-Bee, external rotary valve from Johnson, low friction bearings in the powerhead and lower unit and streamlined lower unit from Evinrude. The basic concept was originally introduced in the prior year as the Model 6038 but inherent cooling problems quickly led to the better-cooling, hexagonal cylinder heads (obviously, the name of the motor was taken from the distinctive-looking heads). Other features included battery ignition with a light flywheel, centrifugal water pump for cooling with the pick-up on the front of the lower unit above the gearcase, open exhaust with heat deflectors and a 13:19 lower unit gear ratio. The motor was originally priced at $395.00 and weighed 105 pounds.

I learned something today..!!
Cesare Scotti did build one OE class boat with Evinrude power. Not sure if it is 1973 or more likely 1974. OMC did build a special Johnson OE engine for Roger Jenkins 1974. So this is probably the Evinrude OE engine 1974.

Jimbo brought a Rotary powered boat (maybe this same boat) to Peterborough, Canada in May of 1973. Although he did not race it he did put on an exhibition - WOW - very different sound and you could tell it was very FAST.Quote:

That was a Great Race! Great memory too, Peter!Quote:

An incredible and true story..!!..with a happy ending..!!
After I finally decided to stop racing the F1-V8 series late 1985 I sold the Burgess boat to a Swedish friend.
The Evinrude F1-V8 was perfect for my Evinrude dealerships show room. I mixed it in with all the other new engines hanging there.
One day Jocke, a young boating customer was looking at the new engines lined up.
Jocke was interested in a Evinrude V8 and I was telling him all about the 300XP 3.6 liter production engine..
Nja..that is not what I want was Jockes replay..!!
I want the big powerful racing V8 he said with a smile and pointed at the big one..!!
Sorry, its not for sale was my direct answer.
Everything is for sale for the right price was Jockes response.
I want to purchase the racing V8 for my ARGO 18 pleasure cat.
Long story short..after many discussions about price, safety and no warranty etc etc Jocke was the new owner of my former F1-V8 engine.
He also signed an agreement not holding me responsible if he crashed the way overpowered ARGO cat.
After a few weeks the engine was installed and time for testing.
I warned Jocke many times to be very careful. Jocke was "flying around" with the ARGO for a few days to it happened..
He did a wide open flip and the boat sank.
Jocke was not hurt but shaken up..
Now to the most incredible part..Jocke did have insurance and the insurance company wrote Evinrude Formula 1 race engine on the policy. (I guess by mistake)
So they where forced to pay up..!!
The first picture is Jocke and his ARGO cat with the racing V8 before the crash.
The second picture is Jocke today and his nice big yacht. His engine pick for the dingy makes me proud.
Jocke still know the right outboard is Evinrude. This one is maybe not as powerful as his first Evinrude..:)
