Carina and Mike Mull.
Mike is the owner of Cesare Scotti’s winning #33 boat in Havasu 1969 powered by twin Evinrude V4 Starflite SS.
This is the Evinrude brochure 1971. Pretty nice

WOW..great memories.
This is from Visby/Gotland, Sweden in July 1985.
Pelle Lindbergh and me took my brand new Flying Flipper with twin Evinrude XP V8 outboards to Gotland. Big rough open water 4 hour trip to Gotland but we made it safe.
Well..we got lost and ended up north of Gotland. The fuel-tank was absolutely dry when we finally reached Visby harbor.
I remember when we did this news paper story but I have not seen it for 36 years. Thanks to Susann I can now dream back and think about all the fun Pelle and I had during the week visiting Gotland.
I can add this..there was no one like Pelle..he was the greatest in many ways.

I am not sure if this was a 4.0 liter V8 or a 3.5..very few know for sure but when I ask them I only get a big smile.:)
176.556mph is the key..!!

Mike Mullins , Winter Haven, FL owns Scotti’s #33Quote:

Where's my calculator....
3.5 = 2.625 Stroke x 3.6 Bore
will need a 3.84 bore
Has the #33 gotten to be too rare and too valuable to run? I've seen this happen with P38 Lightnings which never flew again because of their historical value.Quote:

Did see the #33 boat but it was not ready to run. Not sure if Mike have run it or not. I have only seen it on a trailer.
The twin Evinrude V4 engines have for some reason Merc stern brackets..

PS..I read some time ago Mike Mull was consider selling the #33 boat.

It can run. Merc brackets are installed using Merc Trim. Scotti didn't have trim in 1969, just ballast tank(s)Quote:
