Don Henrich was OMC's propeller man.

He was one of the very best
I got lots of help from him during my UIM OE/F3 racing.
Sending me props overnight to Sweden for testing. Many of my wins came from using his modified props.

The Evinrude brand is gone..but the 150E-TEC H.O. is still kicking..
Yesterday the classic Offshore Race Roslagsloppet was run and the two brothers Melin won the W-150 class with the #W-16 Twister Cat/Evinrude 150 E-TEC H.O.

I took this picture of Team Dirty Money Offshore racing at the race here at Lake of the Ozarks two month ago..



Today at the Great Lakes Grand Prix team 🔸Dirty Money Offshore Racing🔸had an unfortunate accident.
Thank God above that both Rusty and Bill are okay. The boat unfortunately is not ok. It suffered catastrophic damage.
We’d like to issue a huge thank you to everyone who has reached out to see how the guys are doing and to lend a hand. And for those of you who are wondering, we are not throwing in the towel.
We will be back.

I've had it for over 40 years.
