I raced the 66in motors a number of times and had one on my wife's fishing boat. Those motors were bullet proof. As long as you didn't mess up the ignition timing or run cheap gas in them they would run forever.

Were you given the opportunity to pass on your knowledge and experience to your successors, or did they even care?

Looks like a few of your crowd need to go for a boat ride and add a smile to their image.... Very cool that you guys continue to get your group together-
