Facts about Evinrude/Johnson racing outboards made my OMC

F3000, with a V6?

I think this was an F3000 engine back when the class was popular in Europe.
Not sure what Alain Delpeuch of France is doing now with his beautiful rig.

Did the 3000 mean 3.0 ltr?

F3000 was from start (around 1987/88 production engines only up to 3 liter with 20 inch shaft and the standard gearcase.
A dangerous combination for tunnel boats and the rules was changed to standard powerheads max 3 liter installed on racing mid sections/gearcases.

That would be a good class for today could do stock and unlimited powerheads even emission ones, something for everyone
Did you hear news, ski racing in OZ has been limited to 120mph...

Paris 1988 and you can see the F3000 cats with 20 inch production mid sections/gearcases.

First I like to say a big THANK YOU to everybody clicking in to this thread I started exactly 6 month ago today.
100 pages and close to 100,000 clicks.
Again thank you very much and please come back as much as possible.


Here is a few more F3000 pictures from 1988 & 1989 with stock Evinrude/Johnson V6 3 liter, looper power.
The 20 inch shaft with standard gearcases made the tunnel boats hard to control.
UIM changed the rules to production max 3 liter powerheads installed on racing mid sections.

James Beard and Clive Curtis the boat was called Cougar Blue they drove this outfit in the Paris 6hr race.The first picture I think is a shorter sprint boat.

Thanks STEVERINO, you are very good at this. This picture is from Bristol 1972 and it looks like the same boat as in Sweden.
I guess James Beard also won Chasewater with this boat.

1972 was my first year for International racing but I only went to the Berlin 6 hours and it was rainy and extremely cold in West-Berlin.

Lars,

I was also at Berlin but don't recall the race. Was it cancelled due to the weather?

Well..not 100% sure but I remember some Swedish friends raced in the smaller classes. (SB class)
Very "ruff water" and the weather was terrible (strong wind, heavy rain and mist all day. We found better things to do than standing in the pit holding on and get wet..:)
Here is the racing program with drivers for the Berlin 6 Hour race 1972.

Yes you are correct John Schubert, the posts are quotes from earlier. New people to this thread are asking me for the pictures because they cant find them. 101 pages and lots of pictures.

1974 Scotti won Bristol with an Evinrude SuperStrangler..not an Evinrude ”Stinger” as the result said 1972.
