    Thanks for the info. Just trying to sort out fact from fiction. Story sounded like a push, but you never now. When are going to have the rest of the Parker 1975 video finished.

    I bet even if you found one, you still could not afford it
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    A bunch of us have been searching for these things for years.....

    I'm lucky enough to have one, and the others, even the barely saveable "scraps", have all been snapped up....or at least located and identified.

    There are still more wings out there to be found I'm sure of that. Ironically more 20's are accounted for than the 18's. So far two 20's are running and one 18.....a few more running 20's will surface soon. 18's were rode hard and put away wet so the attrition rate was high.

    Heard a third hand rumor about a red or orange wing in the mid west is getting completed. I did pick up some info that a 18 foot wing in very good condition was last seen in the mid west in the late 70's to early 80's. Never could track it down. Not sure if that is that one. Or maybe it could be the 20' Taylor Cleaners wing who knows.

    Where is the #333 Bob Nordskog OMC owned wing that was last seen heading down the highway in the mid to late 80's ?? I know what state it was going to. At the time it was in excellent condition. Probably one of the nicest rigged wings back in the day.

    They are out there.

    Not sure if it was 18 or 20. It was colored like the pictures but more black on it. Trailer had small white wheels like that.
    I rememer a lot of black on the rear cowl up high maybe a crescent shape.
    I wonder if someone hauled one up to Tomahawk (AOMC nationals) which were last weekend.(?)
    I was driving so I couldn't take a pic.
    I was hoping to swing by on the way home but forgot and set GPS to shortest distance and took a different route.
