That is what one calls a beauty of an engine! How fast could they rev and what was the speeds she could get to?

The fastest anyone ever got an X going was around 80 mph, mostly due to boat and prop technology during its time. Don Salisbury would be an expert on the running rpm, my guess would be around 5,500 rpm
Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.
Hello all,
This thread has been asleep for too long......... What is this?

Hi Tim= Might that be the 3 cyl Johnnyrude C engine?

Good grief Tim, do you dream these up in your sleep and make them up the next morning! LOL!
Looks like a small bore three cylinder OMC mounted on a OMC stock A class tower and gearcase, yes.
Hello Al,
You've got a sharp eye. This engine was only produced by OMC for about six years. It's the best designed triple I've ever seen. Finger ports, direct pyramid reeds, Mod-50 style pulse-tuned exhaust, optical ignition, etc. This version is 35 cu in (a smaller 30 cu in version was also produced) and likely capable of 2 hp/cu in if I perform all tricks. It is being built for my son's 11'-0" V-bottom runabout for laking and will run this spring. My guess is it will deliver 40 hp as shown, adding 25 hp to the A-15 he ran last summer.
Tim
