3 cyl OMC trivia

[Bill Gohr]

I brought this up on another thread and thought it would be just something cool that everyone has forgotten.

On 3 cyl's we talk about Stinger's and Hustler's but what was the most unique production triple made by OMC (graphics wise). The clues would be it was made only one year and in one horsepower. Then I want to see if anyone has a pic of it cuz I don't.

I thought the CC was the coolest 3 cylinder made, you mean there's another one.

[Raceman]

I know it wasn't the CC, because I don't think Bill would categorize it as "production" and also because he has pictures of the CC.

Could it have been "Charger"?

[Mark75H]

The graphics on the CC aren't much to look at either

[Laker]

I think the coolest looking one is the checkered flag graphics on the Stinger. 78 or 79?
I have an APBA propller mag some where with a pic of one.

I would really like to see that Chris. I am looking for some decal ideas.

As soon as I can borrow a camera I will post a picture of my surf six o
(I recently aquired it)

[Fast Fred]

hey Swamppanther,
was talkin to a dude thats got a bunch of CCC parts, and I have foundout that thare was a Factory Mod50 15", should have some pics soon of it.

[swamppanther]

I don't want to add any confusion but both mod 50's (fr19s &fr31m) were built to accomodate a 15" transom as well as the sst 60 or any fishing
motor known as a short shaft(omc) my omc racing model numbers don't
show a fr31s as ever being made but there is a loop charged 3 cyl. listed
built in 1975 with a model number of ft19s and I dont know the specs on
it, also my CCC is for a 15" transom, the only other large motors (omc)
made for a shorter transom (12") is the EFI V8 and the sst 100 of which
I owned one of the latter,anything any shorter than 12" would have to
be custom made, I hope this helps and good luck chasing that wild
goose!

C'mon Bill. Tell us which motor you're talking about.

[omc-v4]

Would it be the 73 65 stinger with decals on exh & L/U?

[Bill Gohr]

Ok, I said it was COOL, cool meaning it was from the 70's it had flower child kinda graphics on the side of the hood. Obviously none of us have ever seen one and I'll have to find the pic. Let's all look in our 1970 archives in the Evinrude brochure for a Surf "60". It looks like a 1970 60hp with a pyschodellic (?) multi-colored wave on the side of the hood and it says "Surf Six 0" on the side...........Only year, only hp Last one I saw was at Evinrudes QC lab there was a hood on the wall........ and no I didn't get it

[Hydrovector]

I remember seeing one on a Glastron when we lived in Ohio. It was at Senica Lake. the Guy even pulled it with a Volkswagon bug with floweres on it. boy I'm showing how old I am. that had to be 71 or 72.

Bill, Whats one worth to you, I think I have one in the shed. I will look next week

[Bill Gohr]

I'll call you. I didn't think about that....they were probably shipped to all the Flower children.....We still need a pic. I think there was one in the Evvy brochure, also I think there was one in the Glastron also.....
