I remember seeing a few of them in the 50's . Was the 3 cylinder C Konig the first 3 cyl. racing engine?
Dean I still have a un touched Kamic 48 - 23636 prop. My Dad bought it new in the 50's
Remember the Yamato is a 20 cu. looper the 20 H is not, it is 1950's design . The other thing is no (offence) but the 20H's running to day or not as good as in there hay day.
I have a Keller kick out adaptor on my 20H, bought it around 1970. I still have a Keller that I used on 20H's to V4's . I have a Keller with a silver face (mid 50's) and a (mid 50's) ...

A Molinari Hydro was the first outboard to run 100 plus mph in 1955 it looked like a copy of a Swift . This was before Renato's time but must have been built by someone in his family
I will try an take a few pic's of it. It is stored in a 24 foot trailer with a butts and a Pugh and who knows what else I will try and get some help to get it out.I feel bad that don't have a pic of...

Funny I see Bill Van's name in the APBA Record book but not yours Phil.
How was the vented transom done on these boat's? Sounds like a good idea .
Paul how many 6 cyl Looper's were built, just wondering . How many still exist today? I think more people would like to have one of these engines than any other.
Why did OMC build a Rotary engine just to beat Merc. They would never race fair always wanted the upper hand . I Hate to say this because i drove a OMC factory under cover boat.. When they had...
Ralph do you remember where this SEBA race was. I can tell that GC 10 is a A/B Swift Hydro can't tell much about the others. I can remember seeing the A Konig with the pipes in the pic,. seems like...
Dave I saw one of these on E Vanover's 44 a few years ago. I don't know if it was a Quincy or not. The one I have came off a Qunicy C , I still have the motor 4 pipes and all.
Alan, that looks like it could be one i know there has to be more than the one i have. The only other thing i can think of is it is a 3rd port cage. I have a 3rd port 44 but it been so long that it...

Mayfly, ask your dad he, knows about as much as anyone about this motor. I don't think they will help at all. If anything i would make them as short as possible just enough so you round the front of...
Why did Mod V, Mod VP and all the other V botton classes die. Was it because Merc. stopped supporting the Dealers. I never thought i would go to a OPC race an not see an Allison.
I remember when that happened, seems to me the boat had lifting rails to pick it up by.The Pro Comm. called them air traps, De'Silva called them lifting rails. When this boat was not allowed to run,...
Back in the mid 50's Southeastern Boating Association ,SEBA mainly a Pro Association, Started running what they called the fisherman class. This was for any non Hydro or Runabout. I can't remember...

Ron where an why did they cut the 20H Cowl. I have a 20H cowl that is cut for the Quincy open ex. but that was for PRO.
This is a Qunicy 4 cyl. throttle hook up these were used on both deflector and loop motors.i have seen one on a DMH in the last couple years. I would guess Quncy started making them in the mid 50's....

Anthony, I think the F-3 record 104 mph is a kilo not around the course. UIM is hard to understand an I could be wrong ,but this is how i see the record. Maybe i'am looking in the wrong place.
Not much more on a course like old Lakeland Fla. Jim Stone ran 98 + with a D Konig. I think this was 1979. Jimbo held the APBA MOD 50 Kilo at about 112 in this time . Not trying to start anything,...
