Geez! I'm looking at the cross section o this hull's contour and the deadrise is not far off from that of a canoe! Makes the term "chine walking" take on a whole new meaning. Looks like a barrel roll waiting to happen? I've never seen trailer rollers that big before either? Was this a production hull or a one-off prototype?Quote:

You are correct, Jimbo never ran #4. Jimbo ran #191 most all the time. However, he also ran #30 on occasion. He ran #30 in Lake Havasu in 1969, 1970 and 1971. Prior to that he ran #S33 in 1967 and #45 in 1968. He also ran #3 in Sacramento in 1983 when he won the race. He also ran #3 in Formula 1, until he changed to #30, because of some inside Company decisions. The reason he was switching numbers was because the computers could not work with 3 digit numbers. However, he did run #191 in Pittsburg. In the Unlimited he ran #U19. Number #191 was the favorite number and set many records and won many races. Unfortunately, when he crashed in Sacramento in 1985 he was running #30. After the crash that ended his career, APBA retired #191 in the OPC class.
The F1-V8 powerboat race at the Ertveldplas in Den Bosch, Holland May 1984 drew around sixty thousand spectators.

Memory lane..
Well..going back to December 1978 and my first trip from Sweden to USA..
The dollar was record low..I paid 3.99 Swedish krona for one dollar.
Today one US dollar cost 10.50 Swedish krona.
The US interest rate 1978 was over 20%..yes..!!
so 6-7 % today is really peanuts..
Gas was less then a dollar.
Enjoy life..https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/e...5/16/1f600.png
Have you guys enjoying life on Thanksgiving. Great picturesQuote:

Then it got worse when you could only buy gas on certain days depending on if your tag ended in an odd or even number. I would rather pay the ridiculous prices that they are charging today and be able of buy it when I need it as opposed to going back to the chaos of 1974. Nevertheless, gas companies today are getting filthy rich off of the prices that we are having to pay....:eek:Quote:

You can call it what you want and blame it on big oil. Right, wrong or indifferent it is (and was) economic rationing. More drivers using less gas because they can't afford it or get it. Let's not forget these states who stack taxes on top of a gallon of gas either!Quote:

1938 EVINRUDE TEST STATION FORT LAUDERDALE
Most everyone knows about the OMC Test Center in Stuart, FL., but back in earlier times it was in Fort Lauderdale. During the winter months testing moved from Milwaukee to Florida. Under the direction of Ralph Evinrude, then president of Evinrude Motors, the on-water Station included 5 test hulls - a dinghy, a rowboat, a 16-ft planing hull, a deluxe runabout and a step-plane race boat. On these boats, each size motor Evinrude built at that time could be tested to ensure appropriate performance for that application. (Photos: Ralph and 2 engineers (white coats) begin water testing a new Evinrude outboard outside the Florida Test Station and inside of the boathouse)
BORN TO THE BUSINESS Some people assume that Ralph Evinrude was simply a fortunate kid who rose to prominence in the outboard business on his father’s coattails. In actuality, Ralph was very well suited with years of hands-on experience to fill Ole’s position. Ole and Bess, who were both active in the business, devoted a great deal of the time teaching Ralph all phases of the outboard business so that he would be properly prepared to carry the full responsibility of company management. Over the years, his training carried him into every department in the firm including product development.
In his younger years, he spent his school vacations at the factory and on the water testing newly designed models and features in Milwaukee and at the winter test facility in Fort Lauderdale. This knowledge, plus constant contact with the motors soon made dealers and customers anxious to to consult him at the factory and at boat shows. In 1927, following his education at the University of Wisconsin, he devoted his entire time to the business. With the formation of Outboard Motors in 1929 (Evinrude, Elto & Lockwood), he took charge of the firm’s export division. In 1931, he was elected a Director of Outboard Motors.
In 1934, Ralph, though only 27 years old, was elected president of Outboard Motors Corporation by the board of directors to succeed Ole who had passed in July of that year. Also that year, under his leadership, Evinrude introduced one of the most popular outboards of its time, the LIGHTFOUR IMPERIAL featuring HOODED POWER. This revolutionary new concept featured a complete aluminum covering over the powerhead - and over time more varieties were produced than any other model. It came in three shaft heights; with or without auto-rewind starter; standard or 360 degree steering; and standard or heavy duty lower unit. Later models featured the fuel tank completely surrounding the flywheel. The Lightfour continued in production until 1951.
