Not one of the best Cougar boats made it ran with a V4 engine- a Rotary engine-a V6 2.0 litre crossflow engine and a V6 2.0 looper engine.It ran a honest 112.00 mph when I tested it with a heavy fuel load with the 2.0 Looper engine.The drivers that drove this boat were James Beard. Clive Curtis.Johny Sanders .Tom Posy.Didier Jousseaume.Steve Pinson.It ran 3 Paris 6 hr races.

Paris 6 Hours 1979.
OMC's overall win. Beats the Merc T-4 with a 3 liter V-6
More OMC victories over the Merc T4.
This was the largest factory battle of the year.
Three boats rigged with the big bore V6 -T4 from Team Mercury.
OMC used their 3 liter V6 looper fuel injection and the result couldent get any better.
Cees van der Velden/Tom Posey won in the #4 Velden/Johnson RS 3 liter.. leading 181 laps of the 185 he won with.
Second was Renato Molinari/Barry Woods in the #3 Molinari/Evinrude CCC 3 liter 184 laps.
No Merc T4 finished the race.
How do I know this:
I was there racing the OE/F3 class and finished third with our Sjoberg/Evinrude CC

Mercury T-4 racing vs OMC V-8 racing..Cincinnati GP 1984…
Mercury T-4 racing vs OMC V-8 racing..Cincinnati GP 1984…
After a summer-long legal battle, Mercury and OMC reached an out-of-court settlement a month before the Cincinnati GP which allowed the Merc T-4s to compete against the V-8s on a one race, experimental basis.
Here is the full story..if you don’t want the read the full Powerboat story I can make it pretty short.
Mercury lost big time using the T-4 and the Wizard..(with twin Merc V6 powerheads)
Ben Robertson won in his #57 Burgess/Johnson V8. Barry Woods second in his #35 Molinari/Evinrude V8
After the race one of the OMC’s corporate executives couldn’t help but mutter under his breath after watching
the T-4’s self-destruct:
“They (Mercury) have been suing us all summer” he said in hushed tones, ” do you think we could bring a case against them for fraud?”
Thanks Mark Spencer
