This is Winter Park ,This is a old race site from the 50's it is about 20 miles from rocks Pond in Eutawville SC. I remember going to races here when i was a kid. It not very big but they had some good racing here.I remember seeing my first 55H Merc here ,the rest were Mark 40's.Top left was the far trun and botton left was the first turn. This is the same way it looked as it did in the 50's

Is this the place that I have heard Splash Dumas refer to as the "ditch"?

[Danny Pigott]

Mark, there were no OPC at Winter park it was before there time. The Ditch was at Hardeeville SC on the Savannah river. The river is not very wide here so it got the nick name the ditch. The town had there Catfish Fes. every year in sept.The boat race was a big part of it. Dumas put this race on it was a outlaw race so no fuel ,rule.V bottoms an Tunnels could run in the same class. They had good turn outs of boats an a lot of fun, the town loved it. The first race called the ditch was in Pamlico SC this place was not as wide as Hardeeville.

This is the carb that came on a 1975 OMC ( 75/75) . We consider this the best carb for the 3 cyl. OMC a lot other people do to. I trled all the later carbs, but none were better to me.What do you think,. how about the SST60 any better if so why

Todd, if that is a original 75/75 an the carb looks like the one in the pic. it is the right carb. The later ones had a small tube running out of the dump tube. The 65 HP motor could look the same but have a small venture.
