Bill still resides in St. Mary's County, Maryland...and Beale retired to Coconut Creek, Fl. years back. UI Class was an unlimited single engine class(as long as it was available from the factory as an unlimited engine) of 80 to 89.99 cubic inch displacement, with no weight restrictions, and of any hull design...of which, most were in the 14' range. The most popular engines used were the Mercury 1000 BP & SBP, the Evinrude X-115, and the Johnson StarFlight SS. Jim Caldwell set his records with the Merc SBP. http://i40.tinypic.com/2zdyo0n.jpg

Some are still around...Tavares March 2016. (Rayner Blair)

"Mercury Marine's primary business is outboard motors. MercuryOutboards, 30 Hp and less, are made by Tohatsu in Japan. Mercury Marine builds 40, 50 and 60 horsepower outboard motors in Suzhou, China. Mercury also manufactures engines over 75 horsepower at its facility in Fond du Lac in Wisconsin." Wikipedia

Say it is not so....Made in Japan and China? So much for Made in America..:eek:

they used to assemble in Belgium and Australia

Attachment 340079It's true, I have a 2003 3.3 HP Jon boat motor that says "Made in Japan" right on the V.I.N. sticker. Complete with a Mikuni carb.

Where is the FUJIMO easter bunny?
