Only one I know of - been posted other places. Speaking of Butler, Mike, when you got nothing better to do, tell us about the outboards across the Atlantic venture.Attachment 396347

Not sure how the outer 2 engines would #!...have any bite...#2 ..get any water at speed????

Bernie-there were 3 six engine offshore boats--powered by Mercury. None were successful. Do any pictures exist for the third? I'm sure Mike knows. (Or was there a big 'cover up')?:)

Problem solved!

...Lost a lot of gearcases, using the standard gearcases, and the those 2-blades. Pulled the spanner rings right out of them. The standard "locked-left" gearcases on the port side of this photo, sometimes lasted a bit longer. Dan U...If you knew how slow, heavy, and cumbersome, these old Magnum/Cigarette hulls were...you would understand why the outer engines gearcases, even though they were on the high side of the 24 degree hull, didn't have too much problem getting water, lol. Within a year or so, many switched to using BP or MC1 gearcases on 24 degree offshores.http://www.screamandfly.com/attachme...7&d=1515256978
