[STEVERINO]

this is from the 1976 johnson sales brochure when the production 200 v6 2.448 liter cross flow was introduced.

2 weeks before at the Paris 6 hr race I think Beard had to run aV4 engine when his 2.0 cross flow engine failed in practise and in 1975 Sanders& Posey ran the 2.0 cross flow engine and in 1976 it ran a 2.0 litre looper engine not bad 4 different power units.But it never ran a 2.5 cross flow engine.

There were only 2- 2 liter engines in '73 and both ran in the Paris race and won!. Beard did not break a 2 liter V-6 in '73. He broke the rotary after leading the race in Windermere that Posey/Downard won.

Brutal Formula 3 crash. The #10 boat is Ernst Reto. Its the later Evinrude (31) F3 engine from OMC.
My guess is around 1990. A very good reliable race motor.
This was in my opinion the best boat racing class ever.
Thanks Oliver Keuth for another great picture.

My #1 Formula 3 Class Burgess/Diamanthuset/Evinrude CC.
Home made one pinion gearcase and methanol power..!!
This photo album makes me smile again.
The World Championship race in Drammen, Norway 1982
Won the race..not even the two F3 boats powered by the 6 cylinder Konig could keep up with my hot Evinrude engine. Well..some rooster tail spray from my boat slowed them down in the turns..
The party with my OMC friends that made the win possible turned out pretty crazy..
I still remember what OMC´s..Ric McChesney and Jim Nerstrom did to me..
Easy to smile now..but not 6 a clock in the morning..the day after.
Very good memories..

Nottingham 1981

The Winners are..F1-Molinari (OZ) – F2 Seebold (ON) – F3 Strom (OE)
The John Player GP at Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham.. UK was one of my favorite race sites.
Tight but nice and straight..two point race course..1981 was my second time racing here so my home work was done the right way finally..

Back in the good old days when OMC was promoting Evinrude Outboards. You could proudly wear your World Champion Evinrude Racing Jackets and hats.
Even go to a NASCAR race and see a race car leading Daytona 500 with the Evinrude logo.
To bad those days are gone.

Bertil Wik of Sweden is missing a piece of the boat. I think it is London GP 1985.
