Bob had the knack of finding new records in stock outboard classes where breaking the records were assumed to be impossible. Set ups, rigging, propeller selection, weight distribution, you name it. He was the perfect choice for the Bud Davie world record attempt. Always had me puzzled that they never achieved 200 mph with Bob on the team.Quote:

I'm not sure but if I remember correctly they used NOS, but only a burst at mid track. Bob said he had to use the last 1/3 of the track to "land" the thing. Maybe at mid track, the package was traveling at 200 MPH?Quote:

I don't think anybody came forward over the years to validate this famous OMC V8 fable but the story was that between Strang and Woods, somebody came up with some side cash to fund 2 V8 blocks cast out of magnesium to further reduce the weight?
