    Default What Year?

    Right hand rotation is interesting. And a four blade from Rolla, I'm betting.

    Thanks for posting. I never knew these things existed.

    Cool stuff Mark!
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    This was a 2 liter inboard class..if I remember right the class was R-2000.
    It was a "role bender" and later the 2 liter Merc ON power head was not legal anymore.

    Must be a real 2 liter inboard..most Italian drivers was using a hydro with a strait axle

    Hehe..A Jackie Wilson..but now the outboard was a inboard....
