I wonder how a CCC would go with an even fire crank?Quote:

Hi Rodger hope you are keeping well nice looking engines only 30 yrs apart that lower balancer weight was always a problem i remember the first CCC I tested went straight round to 8400 rpm it had so much more acceleration than the 2.0Litre engines when you run yours round at Tavares do you run it around 7000rpm.Quote:

The real unfortunatel thing is that I started the Looper with Freddie Webb almost two years ago when I was running the no-lift O'Berry Marine Molinari. Now I have Gold Dust which has a whopping 3.5" lift, as it was built for Parker and Havasu. It doesn't need the power as the lift keeps it up. Part of our problem is that APBA V&H has shortened the courses and we're generally confronted with sweeping 2 or 3 pin turns. Not exactly what a tunnel hull likes. The Wings are miserable on these short courses. One thing for sure, the OMC's don't stop pulling down the straights....too bad those corners get there so soon - lol.

Hello Rodger the gold dust Molinari looks like a 17ft boat 3.5"" lift helps to carry 55gall load of fuel for the marathon races that boat looks the same 17ft size boat that Molinari and Hering ran from late 1977 around that time OMC had the first delivery of 6x 18ft Molinaris for the 1977 Paris 6hr race after the race they were all shipped back to the US except my own i would think they all would have raced at parker and havasu they were a good marathon boat ideal for rough water races even though Bob Hering managed to submarine one in the 1977 Thames boat race.The O`berry marine Molinari is a boat i never saw run in Europe the size says its a sprint boat.I am hoping to get the Bullens to come over for next year i have a prop to bring for you to try next year if i am allowed to bring it in hand luggage its one of Henricks had to wait 18 months for delivery at the time.Quote:

My guess: Sanders was using a Johnson GT-115 so it must be around 1967-68.

When did Briggs sell off OMC?
Well..the Briggs family did have many connections with Evinrude started back in the thirties and maybe earlier. (Briggs & Stratton)
I remember the two Briggs brothers racing in Paris together in the ON Class boat #30.
Later one of the brothers (Tim) died in an accident. (not a boat racing accident, a car accident)
I believe the Briggs family got out of OMC as a major owner in the late seventies.
I also remember the father was married to a daughter of the McCulloch family. The bigger income for the Briggs family was making all the keys for GM cars.
Picture of the Briggs ON boat in Paris 1974..I am on the inside in the first picture. The second is after the race..

where are those photos taken?
I know for sure the first SE Class Molinari picture is from Auronzo, Italy. Not sure about the second picture but probably Italy also.
One more #56 SE class Molinari/Evinrude. The driver is Werter Morelli of Italy.

Today I drove by this place in the industrial park next to the airport in Fort Pierce, Saint Lucie County.
It's going to be interesting to see if I get an reaction from one of the daily writers here at S&F..:)

Well..Jackie Wilson of UK was as always in a great mood telling stories we never heard before..!!..:)
His son Mark is little more soft spoken than dad and I really enjoy hearing Marks side of his bad F1-V8 accident in Casale, Italy 1983..
I was there racing but did not know exactly what happen that early Sunday morning.
Everywhere I go Bert Serra is there. Thanks Bert for putting up with us.
After four hours it was time for my wife Carina and I to leave..but John and Bert
was still in the bar talking about Merc in line six horse power..Schubert was pretty sure an Evinrude V-4 Super Strangler had more dyno horses..
Thanks again for accepting this lost Swede in to the old boys boat racing history
I was close to write old outboard racing history..but “inboard Jackie Wilson”
maybe feel a little bit on the outside if I do….!!

I was a huge fan of the Mod 50 class but never lucky enough to see a race.
PS, I heard the same in re to V-4 to in-lines on the dyno.
I think John Schubert need to be on this page also.Quote:

Well it really started 1975..when Christian Mollgaard surprised the Penta world by winning big with his own built #5 SD class boat powered by an Evinrude 50 HP.
The second picture show Christian and me after his big win in Torsby, Sweden 1975.

Attachment 3911721974+75 was when we began to get the D motors to work on tunnel boats in the US. I was involved with one such effort and it went pretty well. Ed Hauptner also had a good running tunnel. The 2 best running D class boats in the US were still V-bottoms but by 1976 the tunnels took over. I am pretty sure Ed won Nationals and set a record or 2 in the later70s, In 1975 we were topping out at about 62mph on a closed course boat. What kind of pace were you guys getting over in Europe?
Was that picture taken at lake Hollingsworth?
Yes.
I work in Lakeland and drive around that lake every day, raced there back in the late 70’s early 80’s.
