This is one of the engines built by a french race team a few years ago. They got upset with no support from BRP and stopped.

Renato Molinari in his titanium aluminum and carbon fiber F1-V8 boat powered by a racing Evinrude V8.
Probably the "Hottest Single" ever.
The year is 1982.
Thanks Alan Green.

In 1983 Allan Nimmo purchased the titanium aluminum and carbon fiber F1-V8 boat from Renato and raced the world series
Switched to Johnson power and the now #15 boat was in the Castrol Oil colors.
The first picture is the start in Stockholm GB 1983

Yes, Tim sold his Motorcycle / ATV business a few years ago. Still owns the real estate and rented to Iguana Boats sales.
Now they are gone and a new marine business is in.
