    I raced ON...with an OMC 2 liter..1978.
    Molinaris Saffa boat at Idroscalo ended up second after Renato but ahead of Cees and a few Mercs..

    In Paris 6 Hours same year 2.4 liter V-6 OMC in the OZ class..Angelo Vassena and I finished
    third if I remenber right..
    ...but my Argo Cat 18 with a 2,4 liter V-6 235 hp was the most difficult boat of them all to drive.
    110 MPH on open water..class called Z..good up to 3 liter..
    A few overall wins in Scandinavia..Same year 1978.

    THANKS FOR THAT LASSE ----------Loved Angelo Vassena------worked with him at Oggiono translating the Carniti Manuals into English...
    My daughter and her husband Steve moved to Oggiono when Steve got a job with Fabbio Bootsie . Mark was already working for Rolla just across the border in Lugano.

    Jackie,

    You should attend the party! In fact, we can get a golf game together with Mr. Bill and Ron Anderson the day of the party. Seeing as we would be guests of their club, we can take them on for a few bucks and tons of bragging rights. I don't know the date yet, but it was early January this year. Of course Seebold wants tons of strokes and he will bitch like a baby until he gets his way.

    You should bring Mark too!

    If I remember right Mod 50 had some limitations and gasoline only.

    In Europe we raced OE-F3 and one of my better boats with the most powerful Evinrude CC engine..Methanol, special gearcase with one pinion only set up for sprint race..

    Molinari/Volvo Penta-König #40... 110+ MPH already 1977

    Burgess/Evinrude CC #1 105-110 MPH 1982..five years later..
    Lars,

    OMG...The US Mod-50's didn't go close to those speeds. But, No methanol, no nitro, no Konigs and pretty heavy rigs. How much power did you have and what kind of revs did it turn? Was the Volvo Konig an external rotary valve 3 cylinder engine?

    Think the 110+ mph. was a bit like a French mile----a tad stretched----even on Windermere at the speed trials the hot OE'S were in the low 90's, But i never saw or heard of Lasse's rig before, so could get a bloody nose on this one.
    The OZ record in 77 was not as quick as that, are you pulling our plonkers Lasse ?????
