    Default Who knows this World Champion boat?

    http://www.powerboatracing.de/eng/sonst/

    On the link above you see my boat. Somebody told me, that this is the Formula ON (F2) winning boat from 1982-1984 from german driver Michael Werner. I need some more information, race results, what engine, old photos aso. Who can help me?

    The driver would probably be Michael Werner..........

    Try also the www.f2boat.com site as I think he is a member or has contacts there.

    My guess would be Michael Werner too.

    The website above belongs to Frode Sunsdal. He still does projects with Michael Werner ( http://212.125.209.209/kunder/f2boat...kel.asp?id=477 ) , so he'd be able to answer your questions:
    frode@f1boat.no



    You might just find a picture of your boat on the wall here:

    Default I agree that it's most likely Michael Werner

    That's the only German boat racer I know named Michael.

    This boat certainly never won the F2 world title during those dates. Michael Werner used Seebold hulls to win championships in 1982 and 1983 with John Hill taking the title in 1984 and 1985.

    This is the boat that won in 1983

    Could be an OE boat from that era?

    1.FONDA :
    1981 WILLIAMS Tony GREAT BRITAIN 1982 WERNER Michael GERMANY
    2.FORMULA GRAND PRIX:
    1983 WERNER Michael. 1984 HILL John GREAT BRITAIN
    3. CLASS O.2000 1980 MOLINARI Renato ITALY 1981 SEEBOLD Bill y USA
    1982 WERNER Michael GERMANY 1983 WERNER Michael GERMANY
    1984 WERNER Michael GERMANY

    You see the problem: The name comes up in different classes and I still don´t know where my boot comes from.

    Default Michael Werner boat

    Michael Werner raced a OE/F3 craft built in England by Dave Burgess and powered by a specially modified Mercury outboard, possibly the lower half of a model 6C. He won the UIM World Championship at Brodenbach, Germany in 1977 ( I was there).

    This boat is not that Burgess!

    A German called Herman Gruber raced a Liqui Moly sponsored 2 litre craft in the early 1980's, but the cowling and paint job is different to the one in the pic.

    The boat is a MOLINARI. Built at Renato Molinari factory at Como sea Italy. He was a famous race driver too - this boat is not a Burgess or Seebold! An old race driver from the early 80īs told me, that this is a ON boat powered by Mercury 2 liter engine at that time. But everything is still not sure, I need photo and raceresults

    I took this pic in Belguim around 1980, the white Merc powered boat in the background is Michael Werner. It's definitely an OE but still can't be sure if it is the boat in question.
