Motors were built in '75 and '76, from what I can tell about 250 were made. The APBA would not approve it here in the states for racing in the Family classes because of the triple carb powerhead not being a "fishing" motor, although they did have the shiftable gearcase. HP was in the 87-90 range at 7600 RPM. Canada and Europe approved them for racing and almost all of them went there - I chased up North of Toronto to find this numbers matching motor.

Right at 180 pounds. Pending receipt of funds, boat and motor are sold.

Motor is sold, boat and trailer are questionalble due to the logistics of shipping. Boat and trailer $2400 and I can deliver for a small additional - would like to hold delivery to 500 miles.
