This is funny and pretty special..
Looks like an Evinrude V6 Super Strangler 2 liter cross flow installed an the newer #4 tunnel boat a few years ago. (..but it is a V4 Super Strangler under the cowling)
The driver is Dieter Jousseaume of France and 1975 Dieter and his brother Paul won Paris 6 Hours with a real Evinrude V6 Super Strangler 2 liter cross flow..see poster & picture.
Thanks Amaury Jousseaume for pictures and info.

Can't make it on the handy, maybe 246?

Is that a "test wheel" on the V6? Can't see if there is something on outside of the disc for drag.
Like these pics as I see a place to put my water temp sending unit on the starboard dump hose.
Thanks Gary

plain disk makes lots of drag

**lars strom** · 09-17-2017, 08:12 PM

Yes its a test wheel olboatman.

Ron Anderson and Greg Jacobsen again. There was some injection problems they worked on if I remember right.

The Worlds Fastest Evinrude F-1 V8 Racing Outboard.
I think Greg Jacobsen purchased the rig around the same time to restore it.
