Very cool Lars.
For sure, RIP Edgar Rose.
Never met him but always wanted to.
I raced the 20 H Mercs and they are one of my favorite motors of all time.
I knew Edgar was the man behind the “toilet bowl” conversion design but never saw that picture of the mock up of the exhaust.
Love it and thanks.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

@STEVERINO Thanks.
We got some interesting answers from Cathy McConnell..
Cathy McConnell
Looks like Ted May.
Lars Strom
OK one more picture
Cathy McConnell
That butt could be Jimbo but not sure .
No power trim on this boat, that is why the motor is kicked out. Very unusual photo.
Lars Strom
I guess a propeller fix at the Berlin Beach
Cathy McConnell
This Is Jimbo’s boat and Ted was co-driver. They lead the Paris race and broke down at 5 1/2 hours. The following week was Berlin. They lead the first lap and most of the in between laps.......main thing they lead the last lap . Then Jimbo ran the boat at Lake Havasu City, no co-driver, and won the single engine World Championships . After Havasu the boat went to Canada and we don’t know what happened to it.
Lars Strom
Thanks Cathy..you know boat racing history like few others. Send my regards to Jimbo.
Cathy McConnell
Thanks, Lars. Jimbo has to supply most of the details on things. I am still able to remember lots of stuff.........can’t believe how long ago some of the memories are......Geez, I think we are getting OLD!! One thing I do remember is always getting the 1:00 am to 4:00 am shift when we were driving to a Race!!

Lars, I may have found another piece to the puzzle.. Here is a photo of OMC Canada's Tom Wood driving what appears to be the same boat (repainted) that came to Canada after Havasu 1970. Jimbo attended the first race of 1971, held in Peterborough, driving a new style Molinari, while Tom, in the previous year's rocker-bottom(#1920), finished second. Ken Kitson placed third.
Following the race, Better Boating magazine published this article ... Jimbo not only won the event, but was voted "Sportsman of the Day" by his fellow drivers. Throughout the 70's, Cathy and Jimbo traveled many times to this country, returning home with much more than race victories; but the admiration and respect of everyone they met - competitors and fans alike! One incredible couple!!

@Watermark,
Cathy McConnell
What a nice thing for Mark to relay. So many good memories of races in Canada. We met some nice people and enjoyed friendships and good food up there. They are treasured memories.Last edited by lars strom; 12-30-2020 at 04:28 PM.
