Burgess F3

[Carl-Hampus]

I have a Burgess F3 circuit catamaran, cannot seem to find much info on them,i believe they use a 850cc Short Shaft Yam or Evinrude, does any if know if any other engines have been used successfully as they are like hens teeth, i think having a 90 yam and lifting it 5 inches would affect the balance and Handling not sure.
This is to be my winter project this year so trying to get all the info together about these.

I believe that the Italian engine builder, Selva, made F3 engines.

Hey guys we still race these boats here in Australia, however our F3 class is now powered by a 1250cc motor

check out this boat for more info http://www.bollinsracing.com.au/boats/
also you can go to http://www.uhpbc.net/photo_gallery.htm to see some of the club boats in action

Powered by a 1250 or do you mean the class max is 1250cc?

Hi powerabout, i couldnt answer your question properly as i race F1 river races, but the current Aussy rule book says F3 -1.25ltr carby or EFI min hull lngth 3.5m 350KG so i would presume max power 1250 as we also have an 1250 - 1800cc class, also yamato & 800cc classes.

Do you know where I can download the rules on the actual engine specs?
like production block thru prop exhaust etc?
