SeaWay inherited or bought whatever was left before OMC collapsed and BRP acquired it. The era of the early 1970s to mid 1980s is really hard to understand with OMC racing. Was it limited to only dealers and people with deep pockets? Mercury dealers were pretty secretive about hi-perf stuff but OMC ran their program almost like Area 51 (pun intended). It was really difficult to acquire hi-perf catalogs from Merc but downright impossible with OMC. I concluded that racers lucky enough to get V4 Stranglers or Stingers were getting hand-me-downs from the OMC racing programs. 2nd Effort was an attempt by OMC to replicate what worked for Mercury with Garbrecht at the helm.
