STEVERINO..

Same here, my experience was the same..all the OMC race engine I got from OMC was best left untouched.

A few more pictures of Steverino's Johnson RS (Racing Special). I think this is from Bristol.

Early 1983. The brand new Burgess/ASPEN/Evinrude F1-V8 is on the way to the Stockholm Boat Show (Båtmässan i Älvsjö).
Yes, it was very cold that morning.

Evinrude

The effortless lifestyle in the Bahamas goes well with the easiest outboards to own and operate. Let your outboard do more for you while you're catching dinner.

Check this out Lars Strom, its a two speed E-TEC, note the filler between the Gearbox and the trunk I saw the prototype at the SEMA Show a few years ago. Patrick Weismann who did this were also involved with drysumping the 6 drive , they are legendary engineers
Thanks Conn Saloumidis.
