OMC 3 cylinder stuff...

[smokin'joe]

I held the EP class record at 70.560 mph until the class became defunct. The 1975 powerhead and gearcase were best for EP, for SE it had no advantage over the later models with large skeg gearcase, heavier rods and pistons. When carburetors were updated, I found my 1975 carbs to be superior. In any case, no one could put together a faster stock 75 than I did. I'm looking for gearcase, driveshaft and downhousing. Otherwise, I have enough parts for a complete motor. Plus about 35 super lightweight pistons, all EP and SE legal.

Joe I remember when you guys came to Rocks Pond S.C.in the last of the NOA days your 75s were fast.My dad built many OMC 75s Some were UIM engines that went to South America, He also liked the 75/75 carbs. I have a 75/75 downhousing an clamps make me a good offer if you want it. Danny Pigott

Hi Joe. My brother, Mark Titus, and I ran a few times with you in EP in the late 70's/maybe early 80's. We could just barely break 70 in a kilo, but no more. I recall you telling us we would never do it in a Critchfield. You were right...and I got hurt trying. BUT we could get around the course! I kept the 1 1/4 mile. Memories!

BTW - Do you have an old thrust bracket you might part with?

[smokin'joe]

Dear Ron, I remember you and your whole family very well. Greetings to your brother, Sally and Jeff, please. I hope that all are well. My thrust bracket went to the Fla. panhandle with the entire boat before 2000. I don't recall the nam of the man who bought it, he put it in his marina as a photo a museum, let someone run it a few times. I also sold him all my props, all were very good. I had a special setup, i ran closed course, beach starts, with the same prop style that set the kilo record. Again, I hope your family's well. I heard from Edgar rose aftr posting a review of 'Iron Fist' on amazon. Edgar liked the review.

Best wishes,
Joe

The name Danny Piggott is burned into my brain because you guys had hot motors (Knoxville Boat Club). Apparently, your dad really knew how to build an NOA motor. All I had beyond stock was a .060" shaved head (180 psi) and light flywheel from an old 65 (I had very good self-modified props and boat bottom). As I recall, NOA motors were supposed to be stock like APBA but I asume that everyone else did a lot more. Send me an email about the downhousning price, please. I'm in Austria until early Aug. I got interested in outboards again last summer after 21 years, built a 1983 Johnson 35 that, with prop work, runs 41 mph on a 15' Allison bass boat (tiller handle). Could run faster.

Best wishes,
Joe

Resending, I think I made a mistake in reply earlier:

Already found an empty gearcase and driveshaft. Is the downhousing complete with transom brackets, swivel brackets, shock mounts, tuner, everything?

I have a NOS nitro gearcase complete never ran that I would sell for $800 US, also have a new shell that I would take $200 for, and a 15 inch mid I would take $300 for.

Try Stone & Sons Marine in Houston, warehouse of parts for older motors.

Not to hijack this thread but I need some parts for my 78' 15" Stinger. Does anyone have the top and bottom motor mounts? I also need the long bolts that run thru the top mounts.

Please PM if you want to sell these parts.

Thx-

Joe, There is a 13 foot Allison around here with a 75/75 Stinger on it. I am trying to track it down. I don't know what con. it is in ,sence i last saw it. I would not mine having the boat but don't need the eng. If i fine it i will let you know.

Danny,

Sounds interesting! Jay's old 14' and my first 13' are in houston in terrible shape, owners let them sit out in the rain. Balsa will have to be torn out and replaced.
