NSU Marine engine, WOW
I learn something new everyday
Well..NSU Rotary Marine engine powerabout..:)..and it run for 6 hours and won the Paris 2 liter inboard class 1970..!!
Even the perfect Evinrude 75 Hustler breaks down sometimes. This is me trying to lift the engine cowling on the way back to the pit. (been towed) I was lucky, it was the gearcase, (not powerhead) changed the gearcase during the heat break and got back racing.

John Hill's son Steve raced F3 and I think he won the World Title one year.

Pretty sure that's a Wayne Taylor mid.
Same as the latest OMC F-1 effort.
My old friend Ray Neudecker told me he built some powerhead for the Worthy funded effort.
I remember the Yammi F-1 effort.
From what I saw they were impressive and loved seeing the added competition.
I hate a single brand class.
They probably are OMC gear cases. They stole everything else from OMC.
I remember patent law suit stories during their orig O/B launch.
Rumor was there 3 banger and V-6 heads would bolt right up to an OMC.
Remember too, in the auto industry the Japanese are notorious for copying our ideas/designs then mastering the mass production of them.
When I was in the biz there were stories of them getting tours of competitors plants and one of them was always quiet and to himself but was an engineer with a photographic memory.

In the first picture you can see a few OZ-V8 boats mixed with OZ class V6 powered boats.
#19 is Rick Frost, #8 Arthur Mostert. Not sure about the #2 boat.
My Burgess/AKAI F3 boat is also parked there.

Unprecedented demand causes Yamaha to delay engine shipments.
In light of “unprecedented demand,” Yamaha Motor Corp. is asking its counterparts in Japan to focus on reallocating products to the United States so the company can fill orders.
Specifically, Yamaha said that due to “a perfect storm of challenges” it is unable to meet demand for the 2.8-liter, 4.2-liter V6 and 5.3-liter V8 outboards — as well as some Yamaha rigging items — in the time frame the company had originally hoped, in part because its manufacturing operations were in transition.
“It is unprecedented demand, and we simply cannot meet the demands for shipping our product,” Martin Peters, Yamaha Marine Group communications and government relations senior manager, told Trade Only Today. “We are doing our best.”
Yamaha Marine Group president Ben Speciale sent letters to dealers and OEMs acknowledging it was unable to meet its target ship dates and apologizing for delays.
“We are experiencing the perfect storm of challenges for supplying outboards at this higher demand,” said the letter to dealers, which Peters sent to Trade Only. “The marketplace has many years of pent-up demand for larger boats and the outboard motors that power them. As the economy and mood have improved this year, demand for our premium products increased more than we had anticipated.
“This increase in demand has occurred while our manufacturing operations are in transition. The transition was designed to accommodate new products and increased longer-term demand.”
Understanding that its availability to promise dates is “less than stable,” Yamaha is bringing down target ship dates to regain stability. “We will do everything we can to bring the system back up by Dec. 15,” Speciale wrote, adding in bold: “We will continue to ship product during this time.”

Attachment 394678Attachment 394679Attachment 394680The no 4 boat was one of the best boats I ever drove it first ran with a OMC V4 engine then a OMC 2 litre crossflow and later with a OMC 2.5 crossflow it cost less than a third of the price of a Molinari.It was built in a old chapel workshop in Bideford Devon by a young man Desi Roberts.It ran in some rough tough races it led the first half of the 1977 Amsterdam race until it hit got holed and we had to retire it.It ran the 1977 Thames race where it got hold again we figured it was then getting too old and needed to retire and it got sold on to a Norwegian racing driver named Yhan Bach.Quote:

More OMC victories over the Merc T4.
This was the largest factory battle of the year.
Three boats rigged with the big bore V6 -T4 from Team Mercury.
OMC used their 3 liter V6 looper fuel injection and the result couldent get any better.
Cees van der Velden/Tom Posey won in the #4 Velden/Johnson RS 3 liter.. leading 181 laps of the 185 he won with.
Second was Renato Molinari/Barry Woods in the #3 Molinari/Evinrude CCC 3 liter 184 laps.
No Merc T4 finished the race.
How do I know this:
I was there racing the OE/F3 class and finished third with our Sjoberg/Evinrude CC

..was run in Como, Italy in May 1981. This was the last OZ class race before the V8 was introduced in Brodenbach, Germany. (next race in June.)
It was a mix of 2.448 liter V6 cross-flow, 2.6 liter V6 cross-flow and the 3.0 liter V6 looper, fuel injection.
Renato Molinari won (last picture)

Love to see some more photos of the 2.0 and 3.0 looper
Not to mention the 2.0 xflow that remains a mystery
