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..

Renato Molinari’s last/final F1-V8 Race 1985.
Yes this is from Renatos final F1-V8 race 1985. He left the F1-V8 series as a driver for Offshore racing 1986.
Bertil Wik in the #12 Hodges/Evinrude V8, next boat is #2 Arthur Mostert in his Velden racing/Johnson V8 and Renato in his #18 Molinari/Dole/Evinrude V8.
Not sure about the Nordica boat. Barrie Woods or Kicco Vidoli is my best guess. This is from Idroscalo, Milano.
Thanks Oliver Keuth‎ for a very good picture.

Batteries, fuel tank, steering and seat around 50 kg/110 lbs
A total of 260 kg/573 lbs.
The Evinrude F1-V8 two stroke 3.5 liter 450 hp purpose built race engine including power trim/lift pump and prop. was around 250 kg / 551 lbs.
Complete ready to race without fuel 510 kg / 960 lbs.
There was none what so ever safety just a brutal race boat with a top speed over 140 MPH / 225 km/h.

Three Rivers Regatta 1983. One of my best F1-V8 races in the USA. Close to get the pole position.
500,000 spectators made it even more fun to race there.
#8 Burgess/Aspen/Evinrude F1-V8 3.5 liter 2 stroke looper. — with Lars Strom.
