Ziggy modified this picture and gave it to me.

Jim; do you recall Strang getting the blueprint of the Merc V-6 block by mistake from the casting vendor and sending a picture to Alexander with him standing infront of the blueprint?

Jim; if you recall Johnnie Sanders won the '73 Paris race with a V-6. That was the one Clarence put together using old parts and actually had 2 - V-4 cranks welded together. They were150ci engines;...

From that picture it appears to be Mouse in front of the 02, Posey standing on the back of the boat and Sanders in the drivers seat. Not sure who is standing next to Posey in the Johnson Jacket

If you look closely at the top left picture in the previous post you can see the 02 with the Johnson Rotary and the 03 Evinrude behind it.

I guess after 38 years my memory has gone to hell. Not only is there V-6's, but Woods boat in another picture sure looks like a pickel fork.
O'well. I'm still alive. that has to count for something.

The article #478 above states OMC had V-6's at this race are ncorrect. The 1 and only time rotaries and V-6 ran against each other was Peewalkee in Wis. in 1975. It was the last time the rotaries ran.

OK guys. The boat in the middle appears to be blue and could be Barry Woods with a rotary. The boat on the left has pickle forks and the rotaries never ran with pickel forks. Woods was very late...
