What lower unit is that? Exhaust snout looks way big.

The 1/1 off of a stinger. It may of been like a 14/15 I can't remember, but it was legal because you didn't need reverse for U-I . Who new that guy would go on to be famous.

That's the regular X-115 exhaust outlet

I think Dale got it. Look at pictures in post 11, noticeable difference.

I see what you are saying. Thanks

If you notice, there is a person standing behind the engine, you can see their feet and legs under the rear of the trailer. Safe bet that it is D.F. Jenkins. He built OMC V-4's that kicked butt. Like the one on that little red rocket!

I don't know how many they made, I had 2 at different times and really liked them . They were reliable other than the prestolite ignition. There were a number of good factory up-grade parts available and a legal exhaust port mod. Probably the best help for racers were the O.M.C. cleavers . As far as how fast, Terry Leatherby set the UI 5 mile record at 74 and change at 74 Eufaula Nationals. I think the class was dead the next year and replaced by Mod 90

The exhaust change that was approved was that you could replace the original flat stainless inner exhaust plate with the cast one with the angled baffles from the 1969 and later V4s. It was worth 2 or 3 horse. Taking out the gussets between the exhaust ports was worth a couple more and was commonly done, but it wasn't legal.
