Jackie: If my memory serves me correctly, you are recalling the pictures of the Johnson Rotary that was posted for sale on E-Bay. It was the photo model and didn't have a powerhead in it. The pictures were parts of the rotary album Liquid-varna had, but all his pictures were stolen by shutterfly. I have been told where this photo unit is and plan to go look in the near future. If it's real, I'll send you pictures.Quote:

Jackie:
That picture is the unit from E-Bay. It was a photo only unit. Also note this was the very first original styling of the Johnson. It never ran looking like this.
1. The bottom bucket has a white splash on the sides. Actual had all gold bottom
2. The "Johnson" is vertical. This was seen at Miami and Parker, but was changed to horizontal thereafter.
3.A single exhaust relief tube is coming out of a cutout in the shroud. Actual race engines had 2 and they came out thru the bucket surrounded by a machined rubber grommet.
Do you need more pictures?

4. A vertical "Johnson" was added to the back of the shroud. This was done so the Merc drivers could see if it was a Johnson or Evinrude rotary that passed them.

Jackie: I nip'ed this from one of the sites just for you.Attachment 316771
Finger pain on a scale of 1--10 has gone down to 7 so managed the day without pills, even the pain threshold is getting old and wore out.
All the wings have now got props on the gear cases-----was unhappy with the paint job on the White 7000 so dismantled it and gave it 2 coats of white smooth Hamerite-----see what it looks like in the morning.
Put the black one on a silver mount------ still don't know for certain whether I like it or not. I did give it another coat of wax and a pair of black four bladed props.
Should have them all ready for dispatch by the weekend.
One of Jills boys gave her "Tea for two"at the Ritz in London, so we are taking Wednesday off and going to the Palladium to see "Cats" after the tea.
Downloaded the picture of the ROTORY Johnno and Bob but it didn't come out at all well. A couple more pictures would help if you got any. That is the one I was referring to -----Thanks.
Did you notice Welch got his name in there -----he's always skulking around somewhere!Quote:

Now we're cooking with gas!!!
You could hang that in the WHITE HOUSE or it would make a great golf trophy?
Repainted and remounted one of the White wings, stuck it back in the oven ----"We're almost there" good name for a song?
Glued up some Mahogony for the ROTORY----told Mark what I was up to and we got to talking about ROTORIES in general and Jonrudes. He said the two most memorable things OMC did was the noisiest outboard ever-----the GT Stinger and the ROTORY----or ROTARY. OMC never had a Lake X and until the ROTORY program didn't seem to have much of of an R&D set up either.
To say there were only ever six motors in total, they certainly left the biggest mark for the company.
Look Johnno I'm not looking for an argument but this thread is now officially open for discussion
( Bitching not allowed).
Me myself am of the opinion that the V6 Mercury in all its forms was the backbone of the company for over thirty years-----development started in 68 .
I shall now sit back and await your comments, Off up to London at crack-o-sparrow, but back home in the evening. . Good night to one and all MYGBWY.J.
