Actually, just jogged a memory. We had one with an X-crankcase. I don't know what happened to it.

From my Danish friend Jørgen Jørgensen
In September of 1973 the Evinrude/Johnson distributor meeting was held in Greek. All new outboard models were presented, incl. the OMC rotary racing-engine.
We were all very impressed!
Thank you very much Jørgen Jørgensen
...more Rotary pictures from Greek is coming..

If I were given the time to make travels plans and expenses, I sure wish a collector out there who is blessed to possess one these would have the nerve to mount it on a vintage Scotti or Molinari and actually run it. I'd be willing to travel anywhere in North America or Europe to personally hear and see this thing run.Quote:

197 was Tommy Posey's number, but that looks more like Sanders in the cockpit than Posey. It actually looks like Barry Woods but he drove Evinrude #35.Quote:

It does have the updated bucket with the access holes for the carb jets and spark plugs.

The day you see this winning a tunnel boat race I am pretty sure you also see Evinrude powered race boats.

which sponsors stumped up that money?
Well..FLW is an enormous business. I have been to a few tournament.
Walmart is one big famous sponsor but there is hundreds of them.
The fishing industry is very strong.

This is me four years ago at a FLW/Forrest Wood Cup event.
First place paid $500,000.00 and a fisherman using an Evinrude G2 got the check.

1975 the Evinrude 75 was white and blue. As always the 3 cylinder OMC was unbeatable in racing.
