    Default The Other Sam's collection

    Another guy named Sam is helping me out with some throttle/control pieces that I need for my Carlson project ... here is some of the wild stuff in his collection



    You've seen that pipe poking out the back of some OMC's at the races decades ago ... finally a close up.

    Lots more, including some "what the heck is that" stuff
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    If someone can help him identify the maker of this boat, he'd really appreciate it

    Is this from the late John Porter's collection?

    I don't think so, but I'll ask

    If it is, I remember seeing the boat beside John's house covered with a tarp for years.
    Seem I remember John telling me it was an experimental boat from OMC in Peterborough. That leads me to think it might have been made by Lorne Pinel.

    Default Omc v4

    Great picture of the OMC with single stack. That was the forerunner to the KC and later KR exhaust systems. The sound was unreal, made the V4 sound like it was running 10,000 RPM. We were never able to quite match the power of that steel system with the aluminum castings exiting into the midsection.
