Korean Outboards....

I thought I saw some boat races in Korea, but can not find them anywhere.


Anyone out there remember where to find this post???

yup, thats rigth. the engine and the hydro they are using are quite similar to the one in kyotei.their motor look exactly like yamato 302.but i believe they have their own casting.

I remember that the Koreans approached Yamato about suppling them with motors for stadium racing in Korea but Yamato turned them down ... and that the Koreans decided to make their own motor and displayed a prototype ... but I don't remember seeing them on the water. Enough time has passed that their motor should be running at the stadiums by now. I'm pretty sure the maker is Hyundai.

Also ... I think there is one Japanese owned and operated stadium in Korea ... running Yamatos.
