At San Diego, one of your friends was asking me about my Evinrude 460 Stormboat motor Model 8008.

If you recall who It was let them know that I had a guy email yesterday to ask if he could bring one to sell at Bonelli.

He Said he was going to bring it.

Hope to see you at the meet.

got an email from Mark D'Ambrosio, an AOMCI member from the 90's,
"I'll be there, I'm gonna have some engines to sell so tell everyone to bring MONEY!"

We also have a gentleman bringing a 8008 stormboat motor.

Is there any way you could have him E-mail pictures to me or get me a number to call? I have a commitment at my church pushing some dirt on the grounds and won't be able to attend, but I am defintiely interested in that motor and I can save him the trip to the meet if the motor is what I'm looking for.

I'm going to build a Rockholt duplicate off photos from what Ron posted of his dads boat then paint it red and white just like my dad had his, complete with a 32" bottom.

Wanted to say thanks for the lead. The motor looks great, nice and clean, peeled decals, no dents in the tank. The gearcase has to go, it has lateral plane fins cast into the gearcase housing, as well as on the skeg. I'm going to be looking for a race gearcase and then a prop and I'm good to go. The shrouding and handels gotta go to.....

After I pick it up, I'll charge the condensers just to hear that explosion 4-60 condensers make when you charge them, check the coils, then set the points on this bad boy and take it to the water to start it....

Great I am glad you got it.
just don't toss any of those parts, as we have 4 or 5 people restoring motors.

Jeff Hixon knows some guy up around Bakersfield who he says is a 460 guru.

good luck and send pictures when done.

No one was around to help me load motors onto my truck, today, so I tooka box that said, "Trophies"...

I opened the box and displayed the trophies...the box had been sealed for many years....

Some, I'd forgotten...Like when I was the Marshall of the Strawberry Festival Parade in Garden Grove, once the Strawberry capital of the world...

Or, my plaque that said, " 1967 Twin Engine Winner, Lake Havasu City, Arizona..."

The DU was owned and raced by Guy Allen of Oregon...

The Berlin Plaque, was for winning the 1970 Six Hours of Berlin..Jimbo and I won that race...Note the pictures of the bombed out buliding..that building is still in down twon Berlin, a reminder of WW II...

Skoontz......Here's a photo of a similar motor that I picked up last year. It's a P-500 pumper powerhead on a shortened big four tower with a prewar speedifour gearfoot. It didn't have a tank and was raced many years ago with a remote tank.

Cool motor!

That one looks just as I remeber dad's. Where can I get a Speedifour gearcase?
Bob Myers

Skoontz.......Here's a shot of the gearcase. They came on the prewar speeditwins & speedifours. I have one on this motor and a speedifour. Over the last several years I've come across a couple of 30's speeditwins which donated thier gearcases to these motors. I have seen some motors on eBay with these gearcases. You could also put an ad on the AOMCI Webvertise.
