    Evinrude retail pricing from 1983 in Swedish krona and including the 25% VAT (sales tax)
    A 70HP EL including remote control, propeller and rigging kit was $2,200 including 25% VAT.
    Much less than in the USA.

    I really like this one..and it is still 100% correct.
    It says in Swedish: No one have yet made a copy of this one.. (the OMC F1 racing V8)

    This was back when a specific Japanese outboard company did that to OMC V4 engines.

    Another friend Ante Malmgren worked really hard to get a OMC 2 liter looper 90 degree to go fast in Offshore 2 liter class but could not keep up with the Merc V6 2 liter.

    Seebold breaks down in last lap forfeiting win to Molinari.



    Many Merc supporters always bring up Bristol 1982 when Billy Seebold won the OZ class with a smaller Merc V6 over the V8 drivers.
    As always I was there and Renato Molinari was leading by a lot over Billy Seebold but broke down at the end and Seebold won..Yes I know you must finish to win..

    Back to Bristol 1980 and Billy Seebold was leading the OZ class with the big bore T4 but broke down and Renato Molinari ended up winning the race with the smaller 3 liter looper fuel injection. So please remember this Merc fans when bringing up Bristol 1982.
    Bristol 1980 was also Team Mercury's last race for the T4 in the OZ class at that time. I am 100% sure the reason for Team Mercury to pull the plug on the T4 racing was the rumors was already out about OMC introducing the new V8 for the OZ class 1981. Team Mercury was now going to race ON max 2 liter and call the ON class Formula One.
    (Merc came back with a modified T4 in the OZ class 1984)

    Here is a link to exactly what happen in Bristol 1980 and the OMC advertising after the race. "Evinrude staying-power wins Embassy Grand Prix" Pretty funny..!!

    Well yes and a very stupid design. This engine was raced twice. One time in the US and the last time in London 1984. (Same result) No the Wizard could not beat the OMC V8.
    Barry Woods won and the Wizard took a swim. Yes..I did see it happen.

    look at the size of v6's now and you realise Merc should have persisted with the t3, look where they are now with stroker 300xs
    hot OMC 3.3 loopers are all more than F1 engines in those days
    Dave bush built a 450 hp engine for a fishing boat that runs pump gas

    Well UIM F1 racing today is spec. racing. You must use a Merc V6 and the exhaust/porting can only be done according to the F1 rules.
    On top of that Mercury Racing don't make/sell anymore complete F1 race engines.
