    Default OMC Mod VP Motors

    Just wondering what Johnson/Evinrude motors were used for ModVP racing in the 80s? Were they factory specials, or modified by individual race teams?

    Thanks

    Second Effort in Florida made some OMC Mod-VP engines. When you mention OMC, Mod-VP and the 80's in one sentence there is one name that comes up....Al Stoker. He had the fastest cross flow and looper OMC's ever put on a Mod-VP.

    Reading up it looks like some of them were based off of the GT200 and XP200 models?

    What else did Second Efford do? I bought a 49 cu. OMC formula E with a Second Efford sticker on the cowl and I was wondering if they had anything to do with it.

    If the Formula E came from there it was just a decal, that may be where we stored the leftover 75 shorts, SE built the Mod motors, 1,2, and 3, the ones pictured are the ones I built, actually I still have the one one the gray Allison, back then there were several guys building their own engines, Stoker obviously being the most known. Some of his stuff he built, some came right from OMC. But it didn't really matter who you were, or where you were from, if you were making power during those days and needed help you all called the same guy......Ricky

    Take a second, and look at the two gearcases on those Second Effort MOD Evinrudes.

    When Dick Sherrer and I wrote the MOD VP RULES we said the water pick up could not be moved. Note how one gearcase had a bigger skeg, for better cornering. But also, not how the water pick ups were lower n the big skeg. So, you could run the big skeg higher and still make the corners.

    Great pictures of Second Effort Motors.....
