How come you conveniently "forgot" the Jones/Mansell duel with the same car, at the same venue, but several years before-------oh yes, it had a Merc on its bum, and just one last little irrelevant "Fact",
JONESY WON.
Easy now Jackie..:)
I stick with what I know and am pretty good at Evinrude/Johnson racing history.

Roger Jenkins first big win in his brand new Burgess/ Carlsberg / Evinrude F1-V8 1982.
I was there in Leon, Spain racing F3 and watching Roger Jenkins enormous success that weekend..
Renato Molinari was not happy when his brand new very expensive aluminum boat sank

I think this is from Vichy, France 1981. A perfect place for tunnel boat racing. We raced there many years.

Well there is plenty of Merc threads for that discussion here at S&F.
Please stay on topic on this OMC thread.
Thank you
Como, Italy 1981,
The plan was the introduce the new Evinrude/Johnson F1-V8 for this race, but all engines was not ready in time so OMC digged up a bunch of OZ class V6 engines.

Well Jackie Wilson..Here is something good for you when its coming to Evinrude winning..
I was invited the the P1 SuperStock race in Jacksonville last year and run in to your family. If I understand it right Team Geico/Wilson won the P1 SuperStock title 2016.
2017 the series in the US switch to Mercury and the Wilson's did not win the title.
So I guess Evinrude is better for the Wilson family..:)
PS..Frank & Al's Pizza is good friends of mine living in Port Saint Lucie, Florida.

The Hummingbird from 1969.
Johnson 115-GT is my guess
Thanks Cougar Powerboats

Picko Troberg was a famous race car driver in Sweden. He also raced boats.
This is his #113 Smuggler with Johnson GT-115 power.
Pretty sure its from 1967

Looks like Clive in the driving seat------was that before or after "HUMMINGBIRD" did its famous submarine in Paris ?Quote:

Craig accepted the decision and has no axe to grind with Al and Frank and is still friends with them, it's this cranky old bastard that questions the findings-------nothing wrong with telling it the way it is.
Was you that called it the "Facts"thread Lassie------be nice if you reported ALL the facts !
Yes, I am still passionate about boat racing-------I lived and breathed it for over 50 years and still do.
I think I've earned the right to comment, so I'm exercising that right! Have a nice day Lassie.
If I understand it right the P1 SuperStock is not part of UIM or APBA and have the right to their own rules.
I don't really care because it's hard to find anymore boring than watch a P1 SuperStock race.
PS. The fact is still Team Geico won the title 2016 with Evinrude and not 2017 with Merc..:)
As you so rightly say Lassie they have their own rules,Quote:

Its easy to find a more boring race than the P1's---------simply look at any V8 F1 race-----just a noisy procession, ??
HeeHee I guess 500,000 spectators in the Three Rivers Regatta F1-V8 race (Pittsburgh 1985) disagree with you.
Yes its my Swedish friend Bertil Wik in the #12 Hodges/Evinrude V8
