1988 I rigged this #1 Speedcraft/Rosenudde/Evinrude V8-XP 4 liter for the famous Offshore race "Roslagsloppet".
Everything was custom built/special order. Brand new boat and the powerhead was sent to Evolution Marine in Morgan City, Louisiana for legal modifications and a Second Effort gearcase.
Perfect result in the race. Won the 4 liter V class with co-pilot Tom Eliasson.
Tom was the owner of Rosenudde and this single race coast him close to $100,000.00 in sponsorship 29 years ago.
Lots of fun and I sold the winning boat to a friend of mine.
Kent Tibbling continue to race his new fast Speedcraft

I don't remember exactly powerabout but close to 90 MPH race ready with a tank full of fuel / co-pilot.
This 4 liter V class had a pretty high minimum weight rule, not good for a really high top speed but good for rough conditions.
This Offshore race was over two hours long on open water. Start in Stockholm and checkered flag in Öregrund

The red X is the start in Stockholm and the black X
finish in Öregrund. Around 130 miles distans.
There was check points on the way to Öregrund and a mandatory refueling stop.

Another Scandinavian Evinrude racing ad from 1983.
My younger brother Lennart took over my F3 Burgess/Evinrude CC when I went F1-V8 racing 1983.

Nice memories from 1983. So proud of this hand painting of my Burgess/Aspen/Evinrude V8 race boat done by Sean Barnards dad.
Thanks again.
