    3 cyl OMC trivia

    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.

    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"?

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

    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.

    Cool Triple

    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

    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.

    Sure

    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.....

    I own a surf six-0. It is really cool - VERY '70s. Unfortunately, most of the colors on my cover are completely bleached out from the sun. I can see some of the colors on one side. I would appreciate pictures if anyone has one, I'd like to restore it.

    Cool Triple

    Back In The Day.. My Parent Were An Evinrude Dealer (franchinse) As It Was Then And The Dealers Were Only Allowed 1 Of These Engine Per Dealeship...

    The Old Shop Had A Poster Of The Girl And The Motor On It And The Last Time I Was In There It Was Still On The Wall.. I Will Check To See If It Is Still There

    Also That Same Time Evinrude Built Dive Compressers And The Poster Of It Had A Kewl Flower Chik On It As Well

    Wow - if you still have that poster and would ever consider selling it I'd love to buy it from you. My brother in law and I co-own the boat it's rigged on and it would be the ultimate Christmas gift for him.
