The most interesting tunnel boat racer ever.
Cees van der Velden in Italy 1975.
You can see his sponsor Marlboro and his race boat was powered by Johnson Outboards.
Thanks for pictures and info Roberto Bigi

Not sure and you are correct it does not look right. One more picture from the same year. Different paint job.

Roger Jenkins is standing to the left on the dock looking at his #9 Burgess/Carlsberg/Evinrude V8.
On the other side is Tom Percival and his # 10 Hodges/Evinrude V8.
You can see Allan Nimmo's # 15 Molinari/Johnson V8 in the background.
This is from the F1-V8 race in Como, Italy 1983

Carlo Colombo of Italy in his #161 Molinari/Martini/Evinrude F1-V8 3.5 liter looper carb model.
Carlo was racing for team Molinari many years but a bad accident in Milano 1982 stopped him from more boat racing.

Another great powerful picture from Oliver Keuth. Thanks again.
I think this is from 1985. Not sure of location but plenty of Johnson F1-V8 power. You can see the 1981 to -83 model year, -84 and 1985 fuel injection model.

This picture of Renato Molinari in his #18 Molinari/Martini/Evinrude F1-V8 from 1984 is very special.
Thank you Sean Barnard
If you look close go can see Renato made his own Evinrude cowling.
He also made a shorter mid section and was told by OMC not to use it.
We all know that 1985 OMC came out with there own six inch mid section available to all F1-V8 drivers.

Maybe the exit and popping the bow?

You did not need to do that with the powerful racing V8.
Its from 1983. Very light boat in the front and no heavy safety cockpit.
I think Renato have a problem or is for some reason testing/playing with the power trim.
