Who could forget Raquel Welch. You guys are probably heard of Burt Reynolds well he played football at Florida State a few years before I did. When I was trying out for the freshman football team in 1966 there was a picture of Raquel Welch hanging up in the locker room sign by Burt Reynolds To Coach Peterson.It was signed dear Coach P just can’t get Raquel off my back best wishes Burt. Yes career was cut short by A knee injury. Mine was cut short by terminal hemorrhoid. Making me the perfect A hole That I am

1971 'Race Bred' Evinrude Starflite 125-S V4

Here’s a good example of how racing improves the product for consumers. The ad (center photo)features Cesare Scotti’s winning Molinari #33 tunnel boat running twin Starflite outboards in 1969 at the ‘Outboard World Championship’at Lake Havasu. Scotti of Italy, ran 146 laps – 584 miles – in eight hours at an average speed of 72.54 mph breaking the 1968 record for the event by 9 mph. Scotti ran against the world’s best drivers – many of them running factory sponsored twin and triple rigs.
Second Generation Platform- In 1969, the Johnson & Evinrude V4 engines were completely redesigned from top to bottom and that platform continued to evolve into 1971. The 1971 powerhead was increased to 99.6 cu in. and 125 horsepower. Catalog copy proclaimed that these low-profile outboards complemented your boat - and not overwhelmed it with some “tower of whatever.” In fact, it was much more than that. The Second Generation motors were not only sleeker in appearance, but a total update of the entire outboard. These new engines produced more power, greater thrust, higher speed and most importantly – better fuel economy. All from a motor that was smoother and far quieter. This V4 platform would continue as the leader in the big engine category until the 1976 launch of the V6. The new external design, with minor tweaks, would remain nearly the same until OMC closed its doors.
The 1971 V4 lineup also included 92.6 cu. in. 100 and 85 models with the same styling.
