Awesome Bill! More pictures please.

I'll have to look and see what other ones I have, but what I do have is the motor that is on that Allison still hangin on a rack
Oh, so the CCC was on the green XR and now it is on the rack. Does it have a 4 sale tag?
Sorry it does not, I am looking for a boat to throw it on, I'd like to run it again, maybe after that, kinda like my V4 I ran it so now I can sell it.
Were those gear cases cast or fabricated?
Those nose cones are added, the different skegs are stock just fromm different year engines, the wider skeg was just a 79 case
I only go up to 1983 in that class. By then, Mercury dominated, OMC did not put out a competitive motor. The only Evinrude that was in the hunt was Al Stoker's. I quit before SE put out those nice looking motors shown in the pictures above. How did they run against the Mercury looper?
Bobby Kitchens had a "in" with Second Effort and got some great stuff. He got one of these X-flow stage three Mod-VP engines and hung it on an Allison XB-2002 basser. It was very inpressive but had blowout problems. I was shocked at the excelleration it had. Seems it pulled real hard all the way to the blowout point somewhere in the 90`s. I`m not sure if it was the even firing crank. To long ago i guess.

Bobby and I did a lot of business together. Besides being in the trucking business, Bobby loved golf and made a "BOOK" on the side.
When Bobby "Made up his head" he was hard to change. I sold him the last Baker V Bottom ever made. He wanted a boat for that Mississippi River race. He needed power to beat the Merc guys, I sent him to Second Effort.
Gary Garbreacht and Bobby became close because Gary needed "Haulers" for the Second Effort race trailer and Bobby wanted fast motors. Bobby had 135 trucks, Gary had motors.
Bobby's "IN" was pretty much just a good business deal for both Second Effort and Bobby.
Except for Stoker's OMC, no cross flo V-6 Mod VP motor ever had an even fire crank. (That I know about). Stoker's cranks came out of the TRIPLE C race motors.
Well very few had even fire cranks in them, both of the pictured engines have them there might even be one up in the attic too, I know I have the timer bases
