Fastest omc?

So now we're on the subject what was the fastest Johnson or Evinrude?

The 176.5+ speed record boat ... a V-8 with a short shot of nitrous to bring it up to speed for the kilo record. Carried Evinrude stickers, the driver was Bob Wartinger.

Wow, fast!
Was that a 2nd Effort boat and/or driver?

yes!

I saw something that might have been that story. There was difficulty with gear cases not lasting & conditions if correct. Weren't they shooting for 200+?

I think Wartinger said he felt it was possible, but I think if they really had it as a goal, they would have continued until they got it.
