Classic Allison Photo #6 - Twin Johnson V4 Allison 16
This very interesting 1968 photo depicts a model 16 Allison with twin Johnson V4 race engines. Note lower units/props and offset engine angles. The port engine appears to be mounted at a steeper angle than the starboard engine.

That is a great setup, do they still tilt twins when they are on smaller v-bottoms? The Allison reminds me of the old glastrons and glaspars.

I thought it looks like TIC's over on Chapman hy, but I cant imagine them having
those OMCs out front .. maybe it is Maryville ..cant remember any dealers there
in the 60's .. must have been some just my mind doesnt work that well
wherever it is it does look familar
it had to be a blast to drive that boat though

Okay, who knows what those engines are? (the fact that they're in a slight right turn position may make em look like one is different from the other also.

They look like Golden Meteors, but that's all I can say...

I'm not sure, but I THINK they're GT115's with racing gearcases. I'm pretty weak on the old OMC's, but have a pair of X115 Evinrods that are the same engine if that's what they are. A neighbor has a GT115 that Hank bought new and it's colored just like the pair in the pic.

Twins
This photo was taken at Pauls old shop in town,it looks like Paul in the background. I like the props. I bet those 2 blades would throw a rooster tail a mile high. I had one of these "big16's" and it was lots bigger than the later 16's. I wondered if that wasn't a young Joe Burgess by the boat? He actually ran in the class.
