    Sorry, we know its a power trim unit ... hoping to find out exactly which motor its for.
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    I don't see it cast in anywhere, but it has a sticker in the right place

    I think you are correct about the Tiger Shark

    The 100 hp was a '64 which was a white engine with a real "club" foot (electromatic shift).The lower parts are from a GT 115 except the GT had a shiftable gearcase. So it looks like a Stinger lower unit that somebody put some GT parts in the middle and a '65Meteor shroud. The '64 90 first issue, had the in line 4 barrel carb that on non banking boats would run out of fuel in a tight left turn as the fuel sloshed to the right half of the carb starving the jet on the left side.
    It was not too long before the dealers got redesigned float chambers.
    Backfire
    After some thought, the '64 was a 90 hp not a 100 hp The colors were white, '64, '65, '66.

    Default the 100 johnson

    The first 100 horse OMC was in 1966, that particular cowl is a 1967. Other than the steering bar and gearcase, there's no race stuff there. There's no shift lever and the mount system is the standard, non-racing type. Also the rear clam shell is the early, weak one.
    Still a cool motor to look at.

    Default Mystery trim

    That trim is a mechanical unit that coupled to a 2 piece ring that clamped around the bottom of a KC V4 swivel bracket.

    Sam..........

    I bet it is from the late John Porter collection, I just spotted another clue. As well as this other Sam having my old VB Konig which belonged to John, I also spotted an "Odessa Outboard Sales and Serivce" sticker on the front lower cowl of the Johnson motor--That was John's business. I bet that is the tunnel that John always told me was an OMC boat.
    Ask your friend Sam if he bought the 3 cylinder C Konig as well.

    The motor cover is from a 1966 Johnson 100hp. The 100hp was also manufactured in 1967 & 1968. The lower part of the cover had a light green ('67) & Dark Green ('68)
