Facts about Evinrude/Johnson racing outboards made my OMC

[STEVERINO]

More Evinrude V4 SuperStrangler 1632cc cross-flow famous for the best outboard sound ever.

I think this Cougar was one of James Beards best boats his James Latham special the driver sat low in the boat because the GRP seat base hung down 5 inches into the tunnel but not much protection for the crown jewels.

More from Paris 6 Hours 1970 and the overall winner. #12 Johnny Sanders/Tom Posey Molinari/Johnson Stinger V4 1632cc Cross-flow.
This most have been a great victory for OMC after all Merc hype before the race..

Arie De Boom did well to get third third place he was using the same engine we had which was not a factory engine but a low compression Stinger made to run all season with no power trim cost £1250.00 at that time.

A short break from Paris 1970 and forward 15 years.
I just got this from a friend of mine. The #8 Burgess/Evinrude F1-V8 with the most reliable sponsor .."Lasse Ström Marin" was my very successful outboard business in Stockholm, Sweden.
The picture is from the London GP 1985 and the engine was updated with the better exhaust manifold.

Did you notice that Bob Nordskog always looks the same no matter what boat he is in. He looked just the same in the 66 9 Hour. I got to see him a lot because he passed us every couple of laps.
