HaaHaa..more like a confused Swede..
Very hard to get used to be strapped in..and not be able to lean forward to balance the boat.
Did not like that feeling at all..!!

Say what you want, Lasse, but in that picture, you still have a strong resemblance to a young Rod Stewart. Rock on...

More from David Blanchard. (thanks)
I dont have any info but looks like the twin Evinrude Starflite SS V4 have straight exhaust pipes.

It's a McDonald built, 4 point, tunnel boat/hydro. Typical to the 4 point design, it was fast in a straight line, but was difficult to turn.
