We like old detective TV shows and some are hilarious as to what life was in the 60’s/70’s.
What was acceptable then would explode heads today.
Columbo smoked cigars and smoked them everywhere including other people’s homes and while interviewing people in their hospital room!
Drinking was the same.
EVERYONE drank!
Hilarious!
We’re so much better since big brother started looking after us
Sorry for the hijack Lars.

I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

Is this one of your home brew? I Google the name and sure enough, there is a Stinger beer but it's a bee on the label.

Found some old pictures of the LEAPTO project while working with Jim Nerstrom, Jeff Olson and Mouse (Harold Wade) R.I.P.
Was an interesting fuel injection system that was mounted on a V-6 loop engine platform.
Fun project great people !!!!

Open deck block so assuming it was current then, that makes it ‘92 or prior.

From my FB page.

OMC has the first marine license with Obital around 1984. I think not sure when Merc signed up. Sea Doo also used it in the 90,s.
GM had holdens running around also. When they realized the ffi was good for bigger hp they dropped orbital & purchased the ffi.
Mercury had to pay a license fee for each engine.
OMC licensed Kawsaki & Polaris to the goLast edited by lars strom; 01-25-2021 at 09:13 AM.

Beating the new SE Class Merc 650 XS was easy 1975...but a long story the first time..!!
The Scandinavian SE Championship 1975 took place in Forsaa, Finland.
Around 25 boats were in place at this beautiful Lake, and Mercury had just released the new 650 XS UIM SE class race engine and lots of people was hoping the new Merc could give the OMC drivers a run for the money.
Driver Bo Nilson (6) was backed up by AGB, the Swedish distributor for Johnson and I by Huzells, the Swedish distributor for Evinrude. (1)
The strongest Finn was Mercury’s Bimbo Aminoff and a few more drivers from Denmark
and Norway with the new Merc.
The rest was using OMC 3 Cyl. 75 Hp. Four heat and three counts as normally and a clock start.
I did not know how strong the new Merc was, but I was very well prepared and after
the first heat the good news was that the new Merc was no match
(sorry Mercury) and the fight was as usually between Bo (6) and me (1) and some other OMC
drivers.
In the second heat Bimbo Aminoff took the lead but after a few laps I past him and so did Bo but I made a mistake in one turn and Bo past me
for the win.
Well, I do not remember exactly but it came down to the last
heat and the winner of that heat was the overall winner of the race and I was
the lucky one again with only to tens of a second over Bo Nilsson, and I was now
the Scandinavian Champion for the third consecutive year.
Well not yet, because third was Mercury’s Bimbo Aminoff and he filed a protest.
Bo and I did not have any spray paint on our gear cases.
You where allowed to sharpen the skeg, and sand on the gear case if you still was within the template.
We pass that test easy, but the Chief technical inspector said that you must spray paint the gear case, and ours was just polished aluminum
so he disqualified Bo and me.
Bimbo Aminoff was now declared the winner and Bo Nilsson went nuts.
I know how angry he can get, and it turned ugly. After a major argument we left for Sweden and straight to Roland Rosenholtz, the Swedish Power Boat Federations chairman to tell him the
story, but he was already informed.
Mr. Rosenholtz made a few phone calls to Finland and UIM.
“There was nothing in the UIM rule book saying the gearcase must be painted/or not painted”
After a few days I received the Trophy and the price money
from Finland and I was officially the Scandinavian Champion 1975.
Thank you Roland Rosenholtz
