First job I ever had was working on a small suction cutter dredge for the marina that I ended up doing my apprenticeship with.
The old boy (rip) that taught me a trick every day for that year was a...

Is that a steam powered gravel dredge in the background...
how times change
I can wait for someone to say to me, does that race engine have a carburetor, how do they work?

Fred
You forgot to add that the engine was banned because it was so good.
so OMC said ok its crossflows from now then..lol

maybe it was the size of the fuel tank, they didnt call the tower of power fuel cooled for nothing
so they had to cut a few corners elsewhere?
lol cheers

Many thanks Fred and Ron
great to read some info on the engines as there is so little around. I wonder how many have survived other than Jakes one?

If you were gunna weld 2 blocks togther you would use 31M,s.
The only true race engine OMC ever produced
( and the 727 2ltr v6)

A 2 LTR omc would be all custom
I could only see carbs and ignition common to anything else

I think he means a 727 race engine of which very little information exists
Greg from Seaway has one.

The propshaft to crankshaft centerlines are the issue

That was the Alpha 1 SS, it looked very cool, the lower and the upper were a pair. Most of the stuff is NLA

Kt's are great we had a couple in OZ small block with 2 drive ssm

Is that the only photo of the illustrious 2ltr v6 mystery engine in existence?

its always cold so you need insulation

I only kept it due to the cosworth photo
cheers

Here's an article published in an Ozzie boat mag a few years ago about Jackies boat

You missed my point Jackie, I meant yours was ground breaking 30 years ago and they havn't moved very far today with that new thing from South Africa

Looks like a V6 Yam outboard coupled to a Weismann style sterndrive?
I guess they had 30 years of thinking since Jackies Cozzie MCM 1dr, didnt amount to much did it?

where did you get the lower unit, was that one of those very old 3 shaft lowers?

Great stuff
I will look forward to more photos
Many thanks

Hi Jackie

You dont hapen to have a photo of the back end showing the drive do you?

Cheers
